Albrecht Institute

Founded by South African genetic engineer Stefan Albrecht in 2035, the Albrecht Institute's main goal is to eradicate all genetically programmed diseases from the human gene pool.

Successful projects
During it's 250 years of operation, the Albrecht Institute successfully eradicated hundreds of disorders from the main gene pool of humanity, among them:

- Alzheimer's disease

- Autism

- Cystic fibrosis

- Congenital heart disease

- Down syndrome

- Haemophilia

- Muscular dystrophy

Hereditary suspectibility to certain diseases (like schizophrenia or cancer) was also eradicated. Compared to pre-Singularity human society, these medical conditions are now very rare but may still appear (e.g. radiation poisoning may still result in cancer).
