“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.”
