It’s worth noting why the Queens Birthday Honours, which are normally published in June, were delayed this year so that people who have played a crucial role in the Covid pandemic can be recognised. Therefore the specific references to Synairgen and Beta Interferon in the articles are not just part of the overall story. They ARE the story. He’s been recognised this year because of the groundbreaking treatment for Covid, which of course has other applications too.
The point is that I believe this is our clearest proof and endorsement yet that SNG are not forgotten amongst all that’s been going on. This is high establishment recognising what is going on in Southampton University and how important and relevant it is. We can take even greater confidence from this accolade for one of our joint founders.
Very exciting news with hopefully more to come!
PS.I wonder, surely the news is RNS’able as SH is a key figure in the company and without doubt the award is at least partly connected to his SNG001 work?
