Ron Fouchier - The World's 100 Most Influential People - TIME http://t.co/E4IKKmwg A brave new breed of scientist... Ron Fouchier, 45, is one of a new breed of virologists who tackle these hard questions. By introducing the H5N1 bird-flu virus into lab ferrets, Fouchier and others this year created mutant versions that have the potential to spread in a mammal like us — which is exactly what we don't want it to do. Viruses like the one Fouchier cooked up may already exist in the wild. But knowing what it looks like may help us spot it and stop it. Over the past months regulators, academic journals and researchers have labored productively together to address the dangers — and benefits — of publishing the studies. The work is not without risks — but doing nothing is more dangerous still. Link - Trackbacks
