Together with the Foundation Fighting Blindness, we are proud to share Decoding disease, a film presented by ICBA as part of the Nature’s Building Blocks series that explores the transformative role biotechnology is playing in solving humankind’s most complex problems. This film was produced for us by BBC StoryWorks, the commercial content division of BBC Global News.
