Citi has announced the Top 10 innovations to invest in. They are:

"All-Solid-State Batteries" "Anti-Aging Medicines" "Autonomous Vehicle Networks" "Big Data & Healthcare" "Dynamic Spectrum Access" "eSports" "5G Technology" "Floating Offshore Wind Farms" "Real Estate Market Disruptors" "Smart Voice-Activated Assistants"

After only hearing about the exciting future of nanotech, computing, batteries and cell phones for the past decade, it is noteworthy that biology and healthcare are now listed as the next BIG things. I have argued that the 21st century will be known as the Age of Biology, and current trends show we are on track.

Analyst Yigal Nochomovitz believes the maturity of longevity science today could result in FDA-approved therapeutics in the next decade. "With scientific breakthroughs emerging this decade on the cellular origins of why the tissues in our body's age," Nochomovitz said, "novel anti-aging medicines may become one of the next big disruptions in the healthcare market."

It is an exciting time for biologists and biotech entrepreneurs. We will need many more smart people to make this a reality. There's a revolution at hand, and to raise the army we need to fight it, we're going to need even more students pursuing degrees in biology, bioengineering, or bioinformatics.
