Long list of Stafford's and friends and we must also check all Honeywell International Inc links where Susan S Stafford has ties ....a chemist.....and seems like Richard Sinise (chemist) of KCM builds the trend that chemists have strong links to PS Targeting knowledge
Hmmmm....quite a coincidence or not....but this mention of "Peregrine" below was funded by Sandia
Peregrine RNA-Seq library
Peregrine A rapid and unbiased method to produce strand-specific RNA-Seq libraries from small quantities of starting material Stanley A. Langevin, Zachary W. Bent, [...], and Steven S. Branda

...and Sandia National Laboratories soon to be under Honeywell..
The Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), managed and operated by the National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia (a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International), is one of two major United States Department of Energy research and development national laboratories. In December 2016, it was announced that National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia, under the direction of Honeywell International, will take over the management of Sandia National Laboratories starting on May 1, 2017.[6][7][8][3]
Digging Deeper as always and Peregrine....Sandia has a big interest in biomarkers and more....and John Stafford ties to Honeywell who is picking up Sandia National Laboratories right now !
National Security interests you may say ....hmmmm
Sandia is using biology to solve important national-security problems through strategic R&D in biodefense and bioenergy. Sandia's biodefense research integrates advanced technology with an understanding of human health and immune response so that our nation can anticipate and defend against emerging biological threats, such as biological weapons, acts of terrorism, and pathogens. This research is paving the way to new medical-diagnostics technology by advancing knowledge in cellular signaling, biomarker discovery and validation, advanced bioassays, and host-pathogen interactions.
Our bioenergy efforts aim to reduce the dependence of the United States on foreign oil by coordinating biofuel R&D with examinations of the sustainability and environmental impact of biofuel production. These projects are working toward a new understanding of biomass structure and decomposition, the enzymatic breakdown of molecular components, and the conversion of biomolecules to biofuels.
Key areas for biological scientists and bioengineers at Sandia Biofuels Biochemistry and carbohydrate chemistry Computational biology and chemistry Medical diagnostics Microfluidics and biomaterials design Photosynthetic microorganisms Proteomics and protein engineering Single-cell host–pathogen studies Therapeutics screening
.... No wonder why SK and Peregrine can't and have not been saying much but c'mon....if a landscaper can see this ....or maybe I need to change careers and what else does John Stafford now know ???
