Elizabeth Hartland<\/a>, called it wonderful recognition for two of the many great projects being developed at Hudson Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoth of these projects show huge potential, not just from a scientific perspective, but as real-world treatments that will make a genuine difference, potentially to millions of people worldwide.\u201d Prof Hartland
