In this keynote from the DeSci Summit at Token2049 Dubai, Paul Kohlhaas, founder of Molecule and Bio, delivers a compelling case for why decentralized science (DeSci) is the movement that biotech and pharma need.
From bloated healthcare systems to misaligned incentives in traditional drug development, Paul lays out how the old model traps both scientists and patients - and how Web3, open-source collaboration, and on-chain IP can break us free.
You'll learn about:
- The root causes of failure in today’s healthcare innovation system
- Why science needs a permissionless, open model
- How BioDAOs like VitaDAO, HairDAO, MycoDAO, and Long COVID Labs are - already making real-world impact
- The Bio Launchpad and how communities are now funding science directly
- How IP-NFTs unlock new ways to fund, govern, and accelerate research
A manifesto for building the future of medicine, science, and human health.
