HydGene is proud to be driving sustainable agriculture forward! Thanks @GregoryButler71 for visiting us and showcasing our technology for how we can upcycle biomass residues to make green molecules on-site. #greenhydrogen #greenammonia @dr_ljbrown @willows_robert @petroll_free
Farmers ability to make their own Fuel and Nitrogen fertiliser directly from air and waste biomass is a step closer with HydGene's breakthrough technology. @HydgeneR @SAGrainTrust @SANoTIll @GregoryButler71 youtube.com/watch?v=y6NsTFAV… hydgene.com

Very happy to see this work on oligomannose-cancer associations out in Oncotarget; this paper marks an end to @csayantani9's remarkable PhD journey in our Analytical Glycoimmunology group. Thanks also to collaborators @KawaharaSRebeca @mailaved @JUgonotti oncotarget.com/article/28064…
Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines first because of superior trial management, not secret vaccine sauce. Of 9 mRNA-vaccines testing in mid-2020 just Pfizer and Moderna are effective. Of 13 traditional vaccines, 9 have reached the same mark. theatlantic.com/health/archi…
Latest work from my lab, Lagarias lab and Duanmu lab just out, linking bilins with regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis in green algae. pnas.org/content/118/20/e210…

Они обалдели! The Sputnik V vaccine Ad5 vector is evidently replication competent. The makers apparently neglected to delete E1, so getting this vaccine means being infected with live adenovirus 5. Hence Brazil’s regulator correctly rejected it. ctvnews.ca/health/coronaviru…
