Episode description

Dr. Fernando Guzman talks with us about Cell-free systems, a method for producing proteins without the laborious process of growing and harvesting cells. One of the main drawbacks of these cell-free systems is the cost, Dr. Guzman shared with us his research in trying to make these systems less expensive and thus more available in low and middle income countries. The benefit of this would be using these methods for disease diagnosis, and also for education purposes where resources are usually limited.
