CHARLOTTE CHO – A BIOTECH SUPERHERO!
Hi my name is Charlotte Cho and I am a very special cell with some pretty amazing super powers!
Did you know that all living things are made of millions and millions of cells? And did you know that cells are very important as inside them all DNA is stored.
A long time ago I was one tiny cell like all others. Some pretty smart scientists discovered me as they were looking for ways to make proteins. Proteins are very special molecules that give instructions to the cells in the body.
Scientists can give me the superpower to make very special proteins.
I love being a Biotech superhero!
A gene is a very small part of the body – but it’s very important! It tells your body how to grow, and how it is supposed to work.
Hi, I’m Victor Virus! But the grown-ups call me AAV
AAV is short for an Adeno Associated Virus – what a mouthful!
Viruses like me make people scared, they think we’re all bad. But I can be very useful.
It’s all thanks to my friends the scientists. They’re very clever! They can use viruses like me to help sick people get better.
