Professor Cristina Dorador is on an urgent mission. She’s leading an
expedition deep into the stunning landscape of the world’s highest and driest
desert, the Atacama in Chile. Her goal is to find new medicines to fight the
terrifying rise of drug-resistant superbugs. These bugs already kill 5 million
people every year, and that figure is expected to soar without the work of
explorers like Cristina.
