A question for any novel approach like this - every single usecase needs its own safety and clinical trial before we can see it in action on humans?

Anything this synthesizes will have a 10-15 year minimum waiting period, I assume?

I estimate at least 20 years before we see practical applications. Biology is complicated, developing effecting therapies often even more so. But we have to start somewhere.
