Seminar: Arkansas State University

by Dr. Jeremy Johnson | Posted on

I was recently invited to deliver a seminar on our natural products research at Arkansas State University.

My host was Professor Fabricio Medina-Bolivar who is an expert in plant biotechnology.

One area Dr. Medina-Bolivar has extensive experience in is the development of hairy roots which are an “immortalized” plant tissue culture systems that reproduce the biosynthetic capacity of intact plants. 

You can read about his research here. 

The title of my seminar was “Disrupting androgen receptor functionality with phytochemicals in Prostate Cancer”.
