Tomate con gusto a hamburguesa: una estudiante de 17 años de Miami modificó genéticamente este alimento y ya investigan sus potenciales beneficios

Gabriella Rothberg, a 17-year-old student from Miami, genetically modified tomatoes to produce heme, a molecule associated with the taste of meat. Her innovation aims to create a plant-based burger that tastes like beef without the need for processing. This project, which she developed with her father and mother, both involved in biotechnology, could potentially provide a nutritious and cost-effective alternative to meat, especially in areas where it is scarce or expensive.
