 What does the future of medicine look like? Is there anything exciting to look forward to? If we think of what's happened in the last 50 years in medicine, there's been an amazing number of discoveries. And as we see those discoveries move towards building practical technologies, there's going to be a real revolution in how we treat a human disease. I'd like to tell you the story of one of my students who I'm going to call Robin. Robin was your ideal first employee. Very smart, hardworking, created a great work ethic for the lab, kept things going, very tough. However, life threw a curveball in the form of cancer. So Robin went through the standard chemotherapy treatment. But what we learned at the end was that there were a few options for repairing soft tissues in the body. This was a great challenge for us. We could actually help somebody that we cared about. How medicine or medical research has expanded to include many disciplines. Many of engineers, mathematicians, all these disciplines that you wouldn't necessarily think were doing medical research are now working on medical problems. What did we have to do to find a solution? We had to cross some unexpected boundaries. We went into fields that we didn't expect to. The food industry. We went and looked at technologies to make lean ground beef. We also looked at the olive oil industry. So innovation and finding solutions requires crossing boundaries. Also allows crossing other boundaries. So recently I visited Saudi Arabia and met some amazing women surgeons establishing collaborations with the hospital there. So innovation requires us to cross technological boundaries and it also can be used to bridge cultures. I'd like to say that there's some exciting opportunities and some exciting changes happening. So look out for this current. Swim hard and catch this wave for new opportunities.
