Member of the project here;
Since we have already met our target $ for phase I, we opened up a stretch goal to fund phase II.
We are in the early stages of establishing the protocols for cutting and folding the proinsulin into its final, active form, and are looking into purification methods sufficient for research and potential pharmaceutical use.
Meeting stretch goals will help us purchase the reagents and equipment necessary to execute these protocols.
- jacquesm 11y agoI have a really hard time taking this project serious. Plenty of people in my surroundings have diabetes so I can see the impact would be huge. If you asked for a few million then I would find it a lot more believable than the amounts that are requested in the crowdfunding campaigns. If someone asked for $25000 to build the next electric car I'd not believe them either, there is more to making the next electric car in terms of process and design than being able to buy a battery and some motors.
