The interdisciplinary research that makes enhancement possible. This blends cutting-edge neuroscience (mapping the connectome), synthetic biology (writing genetic code for new traits), materials science (creating biocompatible scaffolds), and information theory (understanding consciousness as data). It's the foundational knowledge that asks: How do we safely merge mind and machine? How do we edit the genome without side effects? It's the "R&D" phase of human evolution, conducted in labs before it hits the showroom.
Example: "His lab in transhumanist sciences looks like a cyberpunk crime scene. They're mapping how motor cortex signals decay through a neural lace, while the biology team next door grows muscle tissue enhanced with carbon nanotubes. It's all for a 'voluntary upgrade' market that doesn't legally exist yet."
