Saving the Planet One Modified Gene At a Time
Armed with science and technology, our species stands before our most formidable foes yet
Throughout history, our species have come against great challenges that ultimately determined whether we survived or not. So far, we’ve made it to nearly the start of the third decade of the 21st century. And yet, even greater challenges stand before us today, forcing us, once again, to fight for our very existence.
Whether it’s climate change, asteroid impacts, natural disasters, etc., we remain living in a world that is set on destroying us. And yet, we continue moving forward with the hope that we, as a species, will overcome these obstacles and thrive. To achieve this, however, we require the help of modern science and technology.
In today’s fight, one of our greatest weapons is that of gene editing. Researchers from Imperial College’s South Kensington campus are leading this fight by targeting malaria. With $70 million funding by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, these researchers released a swarm…
