In this podcast episode, we interview Dr Lissa Herron from the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh on her research.  Quote: "In chickens you can make human proteins that are of a different species’ proteins and the chicken doesn’t notice, it’s just laying a normal egg"

Chickens are genetically modified to produce human proteins in their eggs. Research suggests these proteins offer a cost-effective method of producing certain types of high-value drugs currently used in research studies, and potentially, one day in patients. Listen to hear more about her science and methods.
