My confidence in the science and in my belief that NNVC is not trying to scam anyone was significantly enhanced when Dr. Eva Harris was brought into the scene.
I have been interested in infectious diseases prior to hearing about NNVC. I was amazed by the efficacy with rabies testing in Vietnam. Anyone who really understands the meaning of that should be looking at NNVC very seriously.
While not personally in the medical field from a professional standpoint, I know and have close contacts with those that are. I am also learned enough in the sciences to understand mechanisms and concepts related to my interests.
I know for a fact that Dr. Harris is very well renowned. Her papers and studies into the pathogenesis and epidemiology of infectious diseases have been of benefit to the medical community for years. Her work with the dengue fever virus is probably second to none. If she, using a non scientific descriptor, poo pooed, the NNVC approach after studying it, I would have swung my doubts the other way. Yet the opposite occurred and her honest interest in transferring advanced technology to the developing world and building on the science is from practical purposes unmatched.
From a bio/pharmaceutical engineering standpoint I am intrigued by NNVCs ability to impart specific ligands to billions of nano particles. I would like very much to review the science with them directly if I could. Scale up could be an issue for them. That might be one of the areas more funding and focused approach could help. Just postulating though.
I am ultra happy that Dr. Harris is on board for another round of investigations. Believe me in totality, if she did not think it was worth it, she would not give it the time. She not only has better things to do with her time, but the brains and drive to do it with.
Wishing all the best of good buys.
