Research on gene survivability against infectious disease









Abstract: The increased risk of catching antibiotic resistant infectious diseases has compelled scientists, governments, and corporations to strive together towards a permanent solution. Belker and Johnson (2020) suggest that humanity is not evolving at the same rate of bacteria and viruses, concluding that, without intervention, our immune system will find itself bombarded with diseases it cannot defend against. Erikson, et al (2022) identify mutations in coronavirus (a cold causing virus) that allow it to reproduce within the presence of regulatory T-cells undetected. This paper examines scientific gains made within the last few years, explores cutting edge research into advanced genetic coding to increase human immune response, summarizes the authors recent animal research, and recommends human trials begin immediately.
