Editing microbes to improve climate and health with IGI | The Audacious Project 2023
Channel: The Audacious Project
Date: 2023-05-29

The team at Innovative Genomics Institute is building on two state-of-the-art toolsets — CRISPR genome editing, which enables the precision editing of DNA, and genome-resolved metagenomics, which provides a complete picture of every organism in a microbiome and the function of its genes — to create a revolutionary new approach.

The Audacious Project 2023
Five years in, we are excited to announce the largest funding pool of $1 billion catalyzed for innovations in climate, breakthrough science, child welfare and women’s health. The ten grantees will present their big ideas onstage at TED2023, and join an existing portfolio of 39 Audacious projects, for which more than four billion philanthropic dollars has been catalyzed to support their visions.
