"According to information provided by Pink Army [PDF], "The core technology is synthetic biology, a platform for high-speed genetic engineering. An open source therapeutic design engine is coupled with automated DNA synthesis and personal-scale manufacturing processes to make person-specific bio-medicines.cooperative. Each synthetic therapeutic will be rigorously tested, openly reviewed, submitted to the FDA for approval, and used only in the person for which was designed, resulting in a single person (n=1) clinical trial. Personalized treatments are expected to be specific, safe, and available for use clinically much faster than those made with traditional development techniques -- a revolution in personalized medicine."
