This episode visits the lab of Prof. Tal Dvir at Tel Aviv University to explore what sounds like science fiction: 3D-printing entire organs, such as hearts, to be transplanted into animals. The ultimate goal of this "bio-printing" is to eventually 3D-print human organs for transplants, completely eliminating the need for long and agonizing waiting lists. The episode delves into how Israel is becoming a global leader in "Bioconvergence" (the intersection of biology, engineering, and computational sciences) and features insights from Prof. Dvir and Dr. Shay Melcer, Head of the National Bioconvergence Program at the Israel Innovation Authority.

Dr. Orly Savion, CEO of Alasgene, talking about the field of synthetic biology. What happens when we reprogram the biological systems around us as if they were computers just waiting for new instructions? Is it possible to fundamentally change the building blocks of biology, and could synthetic biology be the solution to the environmental challenges of the 21st century?
