Episode description

The world is desperate for a vaccine. It’s a life or death race with massive geo political implications. A game of exposure, time and risk as more mutations of COVID-19 increases the monumental task for the scientists. The need for speed and scale is enormous. Omar Khan is part of the biotech revolution for nucleic acid vaccines based on an RNA delivery technology he created while at MIT. It is changing the way we make vaccines! He says we need all scientists on deck with both traditional vaccine development that takes 6-8 months and gene therapy solutions that can take 7 days. ....He urges that we fire on all cylinders to get it right. But can we produce it fast enough?
