Covid-19 vaccines have triggered the next wave of pharmaceuticals – Dr. Pieter Cullis

Posted on May 11, 2021

Quartz Magazine’s Katherine Ellen Foley has interviewed Dr. Pieter Cullis in a wide-ranging story exploring the dawning age of genetic medicine.

“Covid-19 vaccines are the start of a new wave of genetic medicine—drugs that tweak DNA to keep us healthy,” begins Foley’s piece, which asserts, “chances are, you’ve never heard of Pieter Cullis. But if you’ve received the Pfzer-BioNTech or Moderna Covid-19 vaccines, you have him, in part, to thank.”

Foley’s article is posted behind a paywall on Quartz Magazine’s website. It can be accessed via a free trial, here: https://qz.com/2005658/covid-19-vaccines-have-ushered-in-the-age-of-genetic-medicine/.
