Delighted to be the recipient of a Research Alliance Award, which will allow us to investigate the feasibility of using our Carbon Nano-onions in laser assisted cancer therapy, in collaboration with Prof Zengbo Wang at Bangor University in Wales.

Congrats to Francesco Calzaferri (He/Him)! Just three months in and already picking up awards — clearly wasting no time making an impact. I had a good feeling about him from the start! 👏🏆 hashtag#RisingStar hashtag#TeamWin
