Gene Editing Stops Malaria: Open Philanthropy Funds Mosquito Tech

Описание: Malaria gene editing CRISPR mosquitoes Open Philanthropy grant UCSD
Discover how a groundbreaking genetic technology is blocking malaria parasites in mosquitoes. Open Philanthropy awards $500,000 to UCSD Professor Ethan Bier for a gene-editing system using CRISPR to stop malaria transmission. This innovative approach switches a single amino acid in mosquitoes, preventing parasites from spreading. Learn about adapting the tech from Asian to African mosquitoes and its potential to save lives. Explore the science behind this malaria-fighting tool and its impact on global health.
