wouldn't that be a nice bidding war for a new technology
First of all, this technology is not new as bear has already mentioned several times. Second point is that there is NOTHING proprietary about this novel patent less technology. AltuCell has something very similar. Not cotton, but another material.
Nobody is banging Uncle Kenny's door down to buy this "technology".
Next they will put out a PR extolling the possible virtues of CiaB and Coronavirus. How a Merck, J&J, GSK, Pfizer, Amgen, Celgene, BMS, or Roche could bid for this Edsel non patented, non proprietary technology.
Good god people, give it a friggin rest. No self respecting Big Pharma is going to buy this crap science project from Uncle Kenny and friends.
