Leprosy, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, sickle cell anaemia, cataracts, trachoma, dental caries, mental illnesses.

And we're beginning to find these little things for malaria, for sickle cell, for cancers.

But it is widely known that certain mutations can run in families, increasing dramatically the risks of certain diseases for example, breast cancer, sickle cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis. Unfortunately, many human molecular geneticists have abdicated any responsibility for trying to decrease the overall burden of such diseases.

For example, Americans who designed the tests for a medicine to treat sickle cell anaemia estimated that, with Cuban participation, the medicine could have been put on the market at least one year earlier, as the tests would have benefited from the existence in Cuba of a national register of sickle cell patients, which does not exist in the United States.

Now anemia I'm an engineer, but even I knew that anemia is something which is not supposed to be fatal.

It's the death rates caused by anemia globally.

This will help ASHA workers diagnose anemia at the point of care.

She told me that this is how you would typically test for anemia.

I mean, folic acid, iron tablets very cheap, affordable cures exist to control anemia.

What was really shocking for me was that he said that this is entirely due to undiagnosed anemia.

A windpipe cell already knows it's a windpipe cell.

This is a normal cell. This is a cancer cell.

But fundamentally, what I believe is that the map behind of me is called basically the map of anemia.

Finally, not that long ago, Craig Venter created the first artificial cell, where he took a cell, took a DNA synthesizer, which is a machine, created an artificial genome, put it in a different cell the genome was not of the cell he put it in and that cell then reproduced as the other cell.

But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.

He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.

In effect, the cancer cell was forgetting it was cancer and becoming a normal cell.

But if you really understand why does a cell go from normal cell to cancer?

But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

This is a stem cell that we've developed here in Oxford, from an embryonic stem cell.

There's a class of cells, a fairly small cell, an inhibitory cell, that quiets its neighbors.

Anemia is a major and completely preventable cause of deaths in childbirth in many places around the world, but the standard test is invasive and slow. In this witty and inspiring talk, TED Fellow Myshkin Ingawale describes how he and his team created a simple, portable, low cost device that can test for anemia without breaking the skin.

And by the time I'm done, in 2020, when the WHO publishes the data again, this is going to be the map of anemia.

I want you to burn more energy than the cell considers safe, the cell, in effect, says,

And so I thought, Maybe if it can promote cell growth, it can inhibit cell death, too.

Well basically that means that this protein is changing from the sensitive cell to the resistant cell.

And this cell is one of the thousands of kinds of cell that we are learning about.
