The quote text is real and appears verbatim on the UNMC page, which was published on Feb. 25, 2026, but that page presents it as a reprinted Nature piece written collectively (“We are 23 of the 27 original members...”), not as a statement by Marietjie Venter alone. Nature’s byline lists Marietjie Venter plus many coauthors, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote by her.
