TEDTalks Health   /     Are life-saving medicines hiding in the world's coldest places? | Normand Voyer

Description

Could the next wonder drug be somewhere in Canada's snowy north? This week, we’re revisiting a talk that takes us to a breathtakingly frigid landscape, where chemist Normand Voyer uncovers the mysterious molecular treasures hidden within plants that thrive in the cold. These scarcely investigated organisms could hold immense medical promise, he says — so long as we work quickly enough to discover them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
