Dr. Garrett Plunkett, founder and CEO of Unzyme Laboratories, has been selected to deliver the opening keynote address at the 2026 International Biotechnology Summit in Geneva. The invitation recognizes Unzyme’s leadership position in the human enhancement sector and our contributions to advancing the field responsibly.
A Vision for Human Enhancement
The keynote, titled “Beyond Repair: The Case for Human Enhancement,” will outline Unzyme Laboratories’ philosophical framework for approaching human augmentation. Dr. Plunkett will address:
- The distinction between therapeutic and enhancement applications
- Ethical considerations in cognitive and physical augmentation
- Regulatory frameworks that enable innovation while protecting safety
- The societal implications of widespread human enhancement
“For too long, medicine has focused solely on returning people to baseline function,” Dr. Plunkett noted in a pre-summit interview. “It’s time we expand our thinking to ask: what if we could make healthy people even better?”
