A spider’s bit(e): How far are we from becoming Spidermen?

I am a biotechnologist who recently earned a Ph.D. degree in molecular biology and genetics. Although I have always worked with bacteria, I believe knowledge is transversal to the life sciences, through every level of complexity with the due scalability, never underestimating the power of learning from the small things. My research has always been focused on finding new alternatives to overcome current health challenges. Every day, I get the chance to observe that fiction and science are more alike than we might think. It is often only a matter of time.
