A lab leak in Wuhan is thought to be the most likely origin of Covid because an animal host has not been found after two years of searching, top scientists believe.
Dr Alina Chan, a specialist in gene therapy and cell engineering at MIT and Harvard, said there was also a risk that Covid-19 was engineered in China.
The 33-year-old has co-written a book with British science writer Matt Ridley about the origins of Sars-CoV-2, the virus behind the pandemic.
The pair gave an update to MPs at the Science and Technology Select Committee today.
Dr Chan said: ‘I think the lab origin is more likely than a natural origin at this point.
