Globally, there are an estimated 11 to 20 million cases of typhoid fever each year, leading to roughly 128,000 to 161,000 deaths (WHO, 2018). This disease is usually caused by Salmonella Typhi. But what if this same bacteria could be used to deliver therapeutic molecules directly to where they're needed in the body?
Kristen Albright, CEO of Prokarium, joins myself in this episode to discuss the potential of synthetic biology in healthcare and how her team is programming bacteria like Salmonella Typhi to create what they call 'living cures'.
