The science is giving us great surprises and this time is coming from Ben Garcia-Bloj a Chilean physician and scientist that started working with gene engineering technologies during his Ph.D. Passionate about finding innovative therapies, his goal is to reach a much larger number of patients that he would ever do as a medical doctor, treating one person at a time. In 2013 he arrive to Perth working with a brand new epigenetic tool, known as CRISPR  (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), and its potential as a treatment of high mortality rate cancers such as gastric, breast and lung. He strongly believes in the power of the human body to cure itself and use CRISPR to activate dormant genes in cancer cells. Ben has great news and he will be sharing them in Passion Fruit on Air!
