Bioinformatics Has Entered Its Builder Phase — And Biology Will Never Be the Same
AI has stopped being optional in bioinformatics. In 2026, the field has crossed a threshold — from experiments to production-ready systems that are rewiring drug discovery, genomics, and our entire understanding of life as computation.
You Can Rent Living Human Brain Cells as a Biocomputer — Right Now
FinalSpark's Neuroplatform gives any researcher cloud access to 160,000 living human neurons via Python API. No wet lab required. This is wetware computing as a service — and it's already live.
The World's First Biological Data Centers Are Running on Human Brain Cells
Cortical Labs has opened experimental data centers in Melbourne and Singapore powered by lab-grown neurons — not GPUs. Here's why it matters for the future of computing.
200,000 Human Brain Cells Just Learned to Play DOOM — and It Changes Everything About AI
Cortical Labs grew real human neurons on a silicon chip. An independent developer with no biotech background taught them to play a 3D shooter in one week. Here's why that compression of time is the most important signal in computing right now.
The Companies Building the Biocomputer Era Right Now
Three companies are turning human neurons into working computers — not in theory, not in ten years, but today. Here is what they are building, how it works, and why this is happening in parallel with AI, not after it.
