Recently, our CSO, Milo Malanga had the privilege to deliver a talk about using cyclodextrins in biotechnology at the annual meet of the French Cyclodextrin Society (http://www.clubcyclodextrines.fr/en) and visit several prestigious labs in France to discuss strategic, long-term research collaborations.
