We all know how unpopular data centers are, especially when it comes to energy consumption and environmental concerns. As AI and cloud computing continue to explode, the problem is only getting worse. But what if the solution to the energy crisis was hiding in.. biology?! Specifically DNA.
In this episode, Flo sits down with Anagha Rajesh founder of Biocompute, at SynBioBeta, to explore how DNA could revolutionize data storage.
We dive into:
How DNA actually works as a storage medium
Why natural DNA beats synthetic DNA for this application
The surprising supply chain challenges of building biotech hardware
Biocompute's ambitious 2026 roadmap: getting DNA storage out of the lab and into real data centers
Why Anagha chose to build at the intersection of biology and commercialization
If you're curious about the future of computing, sustainability, or biotech startups, this conversation will blow your mind.
More about our guest: Anagha holds a Masters in Chemistry, and was a gene therapy researcher before she started BioCompute. Her startup takes a breakthrough approach to encoding data in DNA which is 70,000x cheaper than that of her competitors. She is the co-author of the world's first comprehensive book on DNA Data Storage published by Springer Nature, and has raised capital from stalwarts in the field. Watch her Tedx Talk!
