At the Spirit of Asilomar Summit, conversations about biotechnology’s future took center stage. One of the most important discussions was on Access and Equity, under the "Framing Biotechnology’s Future" theme - focusing on the barriers, needs, and opportunities for making science more accessible, especially for researchers from resource limited or low and middle-income countries. The original Asilomar Conference balanced innovation with responsibility, but failed to address equity. The 'Spirit of Asilomar' organizers were able to address that and position entreaties as a corrective to that oversight. As young leaders in biotech, we wanted to bring our experiences to the table - sharing the initiatives we’ve worked on, the challenges we’ve faced, and the opportunities we see to build a more inclusive and equitable field.
