    After a few hurdles in the lab, we have successfully biosynthesised our protein which we can purify and test on in the coming weeks, just before we take off on our adventure!

    We have finally been able to get into the laboratory to start growing our bacteria and making the proteins that we will later purify and begin testing on! We are extremely excited to see what all our research will discover and what we will be able to do to help our cattle from Johne's disease.
