I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.

New paper from Amit Khandhar’s team at HDT Bio demonstrating that our LION/repRNA platform can be thermostabilized by lyophilization, enabling refrigerator stability for at least 1 year! Clear implications for global access to vaccines based on our technology. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k6n4cI2-5...
