Austin Burt

Um, have you released these gene drives? Are we are on the way to eliminating malarial mosquitoes right now?

So there, most of the credit goes to Austin Burt, who had the original idea we should build programmable gene drives, and CRISPR just let us do it.

And he's been working with an org called Target Malaria that's been working on basically the malarial mosquitoes.

And they've come the closest in that they've built one that would do the job.
