Innovating a Post-Antibiotic World with Griffin O'Driscoll

In Happy Planet’s third episode we meet Griffin O’Driscoll, the young CEO of Organicin Scientific. Griffin joined forces with his professor Dr. Margaret Riley to commercialize her 25+ years of research on bacteriocins, anti-microbial proteins that kill bacteria in a targeted way. Organicin is now creating products for the aquaculture industry, both to keep seafood safer for consumption and to reduce mortality in farming. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of what they think they can do….

Learn how antibiotics became standard issue, giving rise to big Pharma, and how, by looking back at techniques used before the discovery of penicillin, we may have found the way forward to a new post-antibiotic age. I hope you find this conversation as fascinating and hope-inspiring as I did.
