so just imagine you have shoes you don’t like and you just eat them and even more
like and you just eat them and even more
like and you just eat them and even more imagination you take the same material
imagination you take the same material
imagination you take the same material used to make the shoe off and you repair
used to make the shoe off and you repair
used to make the shoe off and you repair your heart after a heart attack that
your heart after a heart attack that
your heart after a heart attack that sounds like superhero powers doesn’t it
sounds like superhero powers doesn’t it
sounds like superhero powers doesn’t it well if we have a clear look what we use
well if we have a clear look what we use
well if we have a clear look what we use nowadays in materials like shoes in maps

everyday life we use a lot of plastics wouldn’t it be cool like spider-man
wouldn’t it be cool like spider-man
wouldn’t it be cool like spider-man energy just shoot out the web with one

well it can be bet on that because that
well it can be bet on that because that doesn’t work scientifically but the
doesn’t work scientifically but the
doesn’t work scientifically but the material is cool so the question is can
material is cool so the question is can
material is cool so the question is can we use that type of material can we use
we use that type of material can we use
we use that type of material can we use Spiderman technology to actually replace
Spiderman technology to actually replace
Spiderman technology to actually replace fibers made of plastics other type of
fibers made of plastics other type of
fibers made of plastics other type of materials made of plastics and have this
materials made of plastics and have this
materials made of plastics and have this vision or is this nonsense well why is
vision or is this nonsense well why is
vision or is this nonsense well why is this maybe not a so bad question well if
this maybe not a so bad question well if
this maybe not a so bad question well if we just continue producing plastics as
we just continue producing plastics as
we just continue producing plastics as we do now a day and this is taken from
we do now a day and this is taken from
we do now a day and this is taken from the Mackenzies for world economy forum
the Mackenzies for world economy forum
the Mackenzies for world economy forum this year we will triple the amount of
this year we will triple the amount of
this year we will triple the amount of plastic production by the year of 2050
plastic production by the year of 2050
plastic production by the year of 2050 and by that we of course increase the
and by that we of course increase the
and by that we of course increase the waste of plastics and you probably aware
waste of plastics and you probably aware
waste of plastics and you probably aware of that the waste ends up in the oceans
of that the waste ends up in the oceans
of that the waste ends up in the oceans and just look at the chart what you will
and just look at the chart what you will
and just look at the chart what you will see is that by 2050 we will have more
see is that by 2050 we will have more
see is that by 2050 we will have more plastics in the ocean than fish and I
plastics in the ocean than fish and I
plastics in the ocean than fish and I think this is really
think this is really
think this is really one thing to think about can we actually
one thing to think about can we actually
one thing to think about can we actually reduce that amount of material by
reduce that amount of material by
reduce that amount of material by something that is fully degradable
something that is fully degradable
something that is fully degradable something that you can eat can I drink
something that you can eat can I drink
something that you can eat can I drink out of a bottle that I wear tomorrow as

shirt that would be cool wouldn’t be so we need obviously new materials and if
we need obviously new materials and if
we need obviously new materials and if we just look back what happened in the
we just look back what happened in the
we just look back what happened in the last one or two centuries well there was
last one or two centuries well there was
last one or two centuries well there was a lot of innovation concerning fibrous
a lot of innovation concerning fibrous
a lot of innovation concerning fibrous materials in the 19th century where we
materials in the 19th century where we
materials in the 19th century where we get denim where we get at the cool stuff
get denim where we get at the cool stuff
get denim where we get at the cool stuff which is based on natural ground
which is based on natural ground
which is based on natural ground materials but then there was a big gap
materials but then there was a big gap
materials but then there was a big gap of innovation and it restarted in the
of innovation and it restarted in the
of innovation and it restarted in the 1930s with chemistry arising and we got
1930s with chemistry arising and we got
1930s with chemistry arising and we got a lot of new chemical fibers starting
a lot of new chemical fibers starting
a lot of new chemical fibers starting with nylon and many people here in this
with nylon and many people here in this
with nylon and many people here in this room will have nylon based textiles and
room will have nylon based textiles and
room will have nylon based textiles and it even continued so they found new
it even continued so they found new
it even continued so they found new better fibers and there was the
better fibers and there was the
better fibers and there was the development of Kevlar a high performance
development of Kevlar a high performance
development of Kevlar a high performance fiber you can use for instance for
fiber you can use for instance for
fiber you can use for instance for bulletproof and vests but this is
bulletproof and vests but this is
bulletproof and vests but this is already more than 40 years ago
already more than 40 years ago
already more than 40 years ago since then we really have no new
since then we really have no new
since then we really have no new innovative fiber and the big point there
innovative fiber and the big point there
innovative fiber and the big point there is that we really need this kind of new
is that we really need this kind of new
is that we really need this kind of new super type materials that at the same

you take a record and you wrap it around
you take a record and you wrap it around one or two webs and you get a really

well actually you have to take this get
well actually you have to take this get the inspiration how Spyder produces the
the inspiration how Spyder produces the
the inspiration how Spyder produces the material and then you have to adopt it
material and then you have to adopt it
material and then you have to adopt it to your technical process and this is
to your technical process and this is
to your technical process and this is what we call the Spider Man technology
what we call the Spider Man technology
what we call the Spider Man technology but it’s not like spider-man does it
but it’s not like spider-man does it
but it’s not like spider-man does it it’s not shooting out something of your
it’s not shooting out something of your
it’s not shooting out something of your forearm so what we have to do is we have
forearm so what we have to do is we have
forearm so what we have to do is we have to produce the raw material and the raw
to produce the raw material and the raw
to produce the raw material and the raw material is a protein it’s a silk
material is a protein it’s a silk

protein that you literally can eat the
protein that you literally can eat the spider eats the webs when it’s no longer
spider eats the webs when it’s no longer
spider eats the webs when it’s no longer of use so they can actually recycle the

of use so they can actually recycle the material and reuse the amino acids that
material and reuse the amino acids that
material and reuse the amino acids that they have been put into the into the

sweat so it’s fully degradable in comparison to plastics material and it
comparison to plastics material and it
comparison to plastics material and it has all these really nice properties so
has all these really nice properties so
has all these really nice properties so we actually manufacture now these self
we actually manufacture now these self
we actually manufacture now these self proteins by bacteria but then we have to
proteins by bacteria but then we have to
proteins by bacteria but then we have to find a technological technological
find a technological technological
find a technological technological solution to make fibers and we call
solution to make fibers and we call
solution to make fibers and we call these fibers BIOS steel here you find a
these fibers BIOS steel here you find a
these fibers BIOS steel here you find a roll of them so this is the processed
roll of them so this is the processed
roll of them so this is the processed fiber and the properties are pretty much
fiber and the properties are pretty much
fiber and the properties are pretty much identical to what we find in nature so
identical to what we find in nature so
identical to what we find in nature so how can we do that that’s the big
how can we do that that’s the big
how can we do that that’s the big question

transform these genes you put them on
transform these genes you put them on the transporter on a vehicle and then

them in our intestine a lot of them and
them in our intestine a lot of them and you can actually train them so to say to
you can actually train them so to say to
you can actually train them so to say to produce spider silk but no fibers just
produce spider silk but no fibers just
produce spider silk but no fibers just the raw material and then you actually
the raw material and then you actually
the raw material and then you actually have to have a close look how the spider
have to have a close look how the spider
have to have a close look how the spider makes a fiber out of this material it’s
makes a fiber out of this material it’s
makes a fiber out of this material it’s not shooting like spider-man it’s
not shooting like spider-man it’s
not shooting like spider-man it’s drawing and if you understand all these
drawing and if you understand all these
drawing and if you understand all these natural phenomenon then you actually can
natural phenomenon then you actually can
natural phenomenon then you actually can develop a process that allows you to
develop a process that allows you to
develop a process that allows you to make such fibers but can you make shoes
make such fibers but can you make shoes
make such fibers but can you make shoes that you can eat well that was a big
that you can eat well that was a big
that you can eat well that was a big question that we had in the last year’s
question that we had in the last year’s
question that we had in the last year’s can we make really a product out of that
can we make really a product out of that
can we make really a product out of that and the product would have the advances
and the product would have the advances
and the product would have the advances that it is lightweight like silk it
that it is lightweight like silk it
that it is lightweight like silk it actually has a micro climate control it
actually has a micro climate control it
actually has a micro climate control it is a veteran because we produce it not
is a veteran because we produce it not
is a veteran because we produce it not with animals anymore we produce it with
with animals anymore we produce it with
with animals anymore we produce it with bacteria and actually it’s not smelly so
bacteria and actually it’s not smelly so
bacteria and actually it’s not smelly so if you sweat in your shoes they are not
if you sweat in your shoes they are not
if you sweat in your shoes they are not stinky because bacteria cannot stick to
stinky because bacteria cannot stick to
stinky because bacteria cannot stick to the surface remember and so you also
the surface remember and so you also
the surface remember and so you also have some moisture management because
have some moisture management because
have some moisture management because silk actually can very easily uptake and
silk actually can very easily uptake and
silk actually can very easily uptake and release water and therefore we like silk
release water and therefore we like silk
release water and therefore we like silk clothes so so much so the question is
clothes so so much so the question is
clothes so so much so the question is can we make shoes out of that yes we can
can we make shoes out of that yes we can
can we make shoes out of that yes we can these are shoes you literally can eat it
these are shoes you literally can eat it
these are shoes you literally can eat it you need good teeth because the fibers
you need good teeth because the fibers
you need good teeth because the fibers are strong right but you can eat them
are strong right but you can eat them
are strong right but you can eat them beside the sole so far the soul is still

made of plastics I’m sorry about that
made of plastics I’m sorry about that but we work on that either so now that
but we work on that either so now that
but we work on that either so now that we have this technology are there more
we have this technology are there more
we have this technology are there more ideas can we actually supplement a lot
ideas can we actually supplement a lot
ideas can we actually supplement a lot of other plastics that we have in
of other plastics that we have in

everydays life
everydays life and all these plastics that we have
and all these plastics that we have
and all these plastics that we have especially in cosmetics in skin care
especially in cosmetics in skin care
especially in cosmetics in skin care hair care products they will all go to
hair care products they will all go to
hair care products they will all go to our classic systems so it would be very
our classic systems so it would be very
our classic systems so it would be very nice idea to use the technology to put
nice idea to use the technology to put
nice idea to use the technology to put that into cosmetic products and that
that into cosmetic products and that
that into cosmetic products and that already happened so you can have
already happened so you can have
already happened so you can have cosmetics skin care products hair care
cosmetics skin care products hair care
cosmetics skin care products hair care products even product for for other
products even product for for other
products even product for for other parts of your body that contain spider
parts of your body that contain spider
parts of your body that contain spider silk and there’s a cool thing about that
silk and there’s a cool thing about that
silk and there’s a cool thing about that because if you take that green put it on
because if you take that green put it on
because if you take that green put it on your skin it immediately builds a film
your skin it immediately builds a film
your skin it immediately builds a film so we no longer have fibers now we
so we no longer have fibers now we
so we no longer have fibers now we actually make a protecting film of silk
actually make a protecting film of silk
actually make a protecting film of silk and this has pretty much the same
and this has pretty much the same
and this has pretty much the same properties as the fibers it protects
properties as the fibers it protects
properties as the fibers it protects your skin from getting attacked by
your skin from getting attacked by
your skin from getting attacked by bacteria by pollution by dirt and it
bacteria by pollution by dirt and it
bacteria by pollution by dirt and it moisturizes your skin that’s the cool
moisturizes your skin that’s the cool
moisturizes your skin that’s the cool thing and once we found that out that we
thing and once we found that out that we
thing and once we found that out that we have this protecting function we had the
have this protecting function we had the
have this protecting function we had the next idea what happens to stuff that we
next idea what happens to stuff that we
next idea what happens to stuff that we put inside our body what happens with
put inside our body what happens with
put inside our body what happens with implants a lot of implants cause some
implants a lot of implants cause some
implants a lot of implants cause some side reactions so our body doesn’t like
side reactions so our body doesn’t like
side reactions so our body doesn’t like to have other stuff stuck into it right
to have other stuff stuck into it right
to have other stuff stuck into it right so it tries to get rid of it and if it
so it tries to get rid of it and if it
so it tries to get rid of it and if it cannot degrade it it tries to
cannot degrade it it tries to
cannot degrade it it tries to encapsulate that and that was one of the
encapsulate that and that was one of the
encapsulate that and that was one of the biggest problems that some surgeons had
biggest problems that some surgeons had
biggest problems that some surgeons had they worked with Mama carcinoma patients
they worked with Mama carcinoma patients
they worked with Mama carcinoma patients so breast cancer patients and the point
so breast cancer patients and the point
so breast cancer patients and the point is that if you lose your breast
is that if you lose your breast
is that if you lose your breast completely and you have to remodel that
completely and you have to remodel that
completely and you have to remodel that plastically they typically use silicone
plastically they typically use silicone
plastically they typically use silicone breast implants and the side effect of
breast implants and the side effect of
breast implants and the side effect of breast implants is severe because in 1/4
breast implants is severe because in 1/4
breast implants is severe because in 1/4 of the patients they actually develop a
of the patients they actually develop a
of the patients they actually develop a fibrosis which is very harmful it hurts
fibrosis which is very harmful it hurts
fibrosis which is very harmful it hurts and it can be actually deadly so you
and it can be actually deadly so you
and it can be actually deadly so you have to remove the implant so what
have to remove the implant so what
have to remove the implant so what happens if you just coat now the surface
happens if you just coat now the surface
happens if you just coat now the surface of the silicon implant with spider silk
of the silicon implant with spider silk
of the silicon implant with spider silk well actually it’s like in the stealth
well actually it’s like in the stealth
well actually it’s like in the stealth mode the body does not recognize this
mode the body does not recognize this
mode the body does not recognize this implant any longer
implant any longer
implant any longer a foreign it likes the silk surface so
a foreign it likes the silk surface so
a foreign it likes the silk surface so therefore we don’t get this fibrosis we
therefore we don’t get this fibrosis we
therefore we don’t get this fibrosis we don’t get the side-effects and right now
don’t get the side-effects and right now
don’t get the side-effects and right now this is in human beings and we hope to
this is in human beings and we hope to
this is in human beings and we hope to get through the regulations so that we
get through the regulations so that we
get through the regulations so that we can actually sell the product next year
can actually sell the product next year
can actually sell the product next year so that’s a pretty cool thing but
so that’s a pretty cool thing but
so that’s a pretty cool thing but remember at the very beginning I told
remember at the very beginning I told
remember at the very beginning I told you wouldn’t it be even cooler if we can
you wouldn’t it be even cooler if we can
you wouldn’t it be even cooler if we can repair some damaged tissue
repair some damaged tissue
repair some damaged tissue Kellee repair a heart so this is like a
Kellee repair a heart so this is like a
Kellee repair a heart so this is like a hard looks after a heart attack so if we
hard looks after a heart attack so if we
hard looks after a heart attack so if we survive the heart attack there’s always
survive the heart attack there’s always
survive the heart attack there’s always a scar left because every heart attack
a scar left because every heart attack
a scar left because every heart attack damages our heart tissue and our heart
damages our heart tissue and our heart
damages our heart tissue and our heart is not able to regenerate this damaged
is not able to regenerate this damaged
is not able to regenerate this damaged tissue and one of the reasons is that
tissue and one of the reasons is that
tissue and one of the reasons is that heart muscle cells cannot migrate they
heart muscle cells cannot migrate they
heart muscle cells cannot migrate they cannot actually get into this damaged
cannot actually get into this damaged
cannot actually get into this damaged area and the cool thing with spider silk
area and the cool thing with spider silk
area and the cool thing with spider silk is you can print it and look at that at
is you can print it and look at that at
is you can print it and look at that at that movie this is a silk shell which
that movie this is a silk shell which
that movie this is a silk shell which actually behaves like toothpaste
actually behaves like toothpaste
actually behaves like toothpaste if you squeeze it it flows if you don’t
if you squeeze it it flows if you don’t
if you squeeze it it flows if you don’t squeeze it it stands still so you can
squeeze it it stands still so you can
squeeze it it stands still so you can fill up now any damaged area with any
fill up now any damaged area with any
fill up now any damaged area with any kind of of the silk shells and it’s even
kind of of the silk shells and it’s even
kind of of the silk shells and it’s even cooler because you can now take the
cooler because you can now take the
cooler because you can now take the patient’s heart muscle cells place them
patient’s heart muscle cells place them
patient’s heart muscle cells place them in the shell and print now a heart with
in the shell and print now a heart with
in the shell and print now a heart with the cells inside and now look what the
the cells inside and now look what the
the cells inside and now look what the cells do they like it they start to beat
cells do they like it they start to beat
cells do they like it they start to beat so these are printed heart muscle cells
so these are printed heart muscle cells
so these are printed heart muscle cells on spider silk and they synchronize they
on spider silk and they synchronize they
on spider silk and they synchronize they come together they communicate and this
come together they communicate and this
come together they communicate and this is what you need to regenerate a living
is what you need to regenerate a living
is what you need to regenerate a living tissue in heart so this is vision this
tissue in heart so this is vision this
tissue in heart so this is vision this is definitely vision but we hope to have
is definitely vision but we hope to have
is definitely vision but we hope to have that in our surgeries in the next 20
that in our surgeries in the next 20
that in our surgeries in the next 20 years that’s the idea so with that I
years that’s the idea so with that I
years that’s the idea so with that I would thank you
with that I hope I could give you some
with that I hope I could give you some idea that Spiderman technology is
idea that Spiderman technology is
idea that Spiderman technology is scientific it’s not nonsense some of it
scientific it’s not nonsense some of it
scientific it’s not nonsense some of it is but not all of it it’s some vision
is but not all of it it’s some vision
is but not all of it it’s some vision behind that and it could help us well
behind that and it could help us well
behind that and it could help us well personally concerning our health but it
personally concerning our health but it
personally concerning our health but it also could actually be good for the
also could actually be good for the
also could actually be good for the planet and with I would like to thank
planet and with I would like to thank
