Mae-Wan Ho is a holistic scientist and a critic of genetic engineering. Her career spans more than 30 years in research and teaching in biochemistry, evolution, molecular genetics, and biophysics. She is the Co-Founder and Director of the UK-based Institute of Science in Society. She is former head of the Bio-Electrodynamics laboratory at the Open University in Milton Keynes, England. She is editor of the self-described radical science magazine, Science in Society, published by the Institute of Science in Society. She also is a scientific advisor to the Third World Network.[citation needed]
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1964, and her Ph. D. in biochemistry in 1967 from Hong Kong University, and was Postdoctoral Fellow in biochemical genetics at the University of California in San Diego from 1968-1972. During that time, she won a competitive Fellowship at the US National Genetics Foundation, which took her to the University of London in the United Kingdom, where she became Senior Research Fellow at Queen Elizabeth College.[citation needed]
At the Open University, she was a Lecturer in Genetics from 1976-2000 and a Reader in Biology from 1985-2000. She currently remains Visiting Reader in Biology at the Open University, and is also a Visiting Professor of Biophysics at the University of Catania in Sicily.[citation needed]
Mae-Wan Ho has authored or co-authored a number of publications, including 10 books, such as The Rainbow and the Worm, the Physics of Organisms (1993, 1998), Genetic Engineering Dream or Nightmare? (1998, 1999), and Living with the Fluid Genome (2003).
Dr. Ho's research has involved in burning rabbits' corneas in order to test the effectiveness of treatments to prevent or significantly delay corneal ulceration after alkali-injury.[1]
Dr Ho calls into question whether HIV causes AIDS,[2] a position known as AIDS denialism. She has suggested that anti-retroviral treatments be "delayed" and that "Traditional medicinal interventions should be made accessible to treat specific AIDS-defining symptoms" [3]. She recomends selenium and "other antioxidants" for preventing and treating AIDS [2]
