La vida como científico es sacrificada pero también gratificante. Y a veces gratamente inesperada. Hoy la empresa @alnylam experta en terapias #RNAi para #enfermedadesraras inaugura una sala de seminarios en su sede en Madrid a la que ha decidido poner mi nombre. Un inmenso honor

Allah Bakhsh showed us some results of dsRNA bioassays on colorado beetle - exciting prospects for control. It has high potential to be a safe and effective technique to manage pests, but I don't know how consumers will respond?

Then Rosemary Collier discussed IPM in fresh produce, and what needs doing as more plant protection products disappear from growers' toolkit. We will need to look at more resistant varieties of crops, and the role of biodiversity in natural pest regulation.

Ukryte zagrożenie dla żywności: Eksperci ostrzegają przed niebezpieczeństwami związanymi z uprawami RNAi

Wyobraź sobie technologię, która mogłaby genetycznie zmieniać organizmy w czasie rzeczywistym, wyciszając krytyczne geny w całych ekosystemach z nieznanymi skutkami. Brzmi jak science fiction? Wcale nie. To rzeczywistość nowej klasy pestycydów wykorzystujących interferencję RNA - lub RNAi - i są one już stosowane na naszych polach i w dostawach żywności przy minimalnym testowaniu lub nadzorze....
