In this month’s Comment Visions we journey to the cutting edge of science to discover how a greater understanding of what makes cells work could help the future of our planet.

Professor Miroslav Radman is an internationally-renowned scientist whose research has developed our understanding of genetics and molecular biology. An expert on evolutionary biotechnology, his current research examines what we can learn from the way different cells behave in nature.

Why, he wonders, do some cells display extraordinary robustness while others cannot sustain themselves? Do the ways these cells regenerate themselves hold secrets to very nature of life itself?

Comment Visions travels to Paris to meet with Professor Radman and discuss his groundbreaking research and its potential applications. In a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion he talks about the way in which understanding and analysing processes in nature can enable us to adapt and apply them to our needs. Can understanding the smallest building blocks of life bring us closer to solving the greatest problems of our time?
