Alt Genetics

The Alt Genetics project involved a comprehensive investigation into the practices of a genetic research company that had allegedly failed to disclose its genetic modifications to cattle. As the lead researcher and advocate for transparency in scientific research, I spearheaded a thorough examination of the matter. The investigation aimed to validate the claims and identify any potential breaches of scientific and ethical standards. Through meticulous analysis of available evidence, I gathered compelling findings that illuminated the company's actions and their broader implications.

This project presented a detailed account of the investigation, including the methodology employed, data analysis, and insights into the ethical and scientific implications of undisclosed genetic alterations. The findings underscored the necessity for greater oversight and transparency in genetic research. Although I am no longer directly involved with Alt Genetics, the project's outcomes continue to contribute to discussions on responsible scientific practices and the need for rigorous ethical standards in genetic research.
