Dr. Tal Zaks, the chief medical officer at Moderna, explained in a 2017 TED talk how the company’s mRNA vaccine was designed to work. He said, “We’ve been living this phenomenal digital scientific revolution, and I’m here today to tell you that we are actually hacking the software of life and that it’s changing the way we think about prevention and treatment of disease.” He explained that messenger RNA (mRNA) transmits critical information from the DNA in our genes for how to structure the creation of proteins which, in turn, determines what cells will do. He compared it to changing a line of computer code and said that it has profound implications for everything in life. His speech verifies that Moderna’s RNA vaccine changes genetic code. -GEG

Dr. Tal Zaks, the chief medical officer at Moderna Inc., explained in a 2017 TED talk how the company’s mRNA vaccine was designed to work.

Over the last 30 years, he said, “we’ve been living this phenomenal digital scientific revolution, and I’m here today to tell you, that we are actually hacking the software of life, and that it’s changing the way we think about prevention and treatment of disease.”

He went on to explain [see video below] that the human body is made up of organs and organs are made up of cells.

“In every cell there’s this thing called messenger RNA or mRNA for short, that transmits the critical information from the DNA in our genes to the protein, which is really the stuff we’re all made out of. This is the critical information that determines what the cell will do. So we think about it as an operating system.

“So if you could change that, if you could introduce a line of code, or change a line of code, it turns out, that has profound implications for everything, from the flu to cancer.”
