The Global List Podcast/Ep6/The Amazon Mappers
You’re invited to listen to the latest episode of The Global List Podcast:
The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s most important and diverse ecosystem – representing 10% of known species and 34m people. On average, a “new” species of animal or plant is discovered in the Amazon every 3 days. So, what’s it like to find the largest tree in the Amazon and how can technology, particularly LiDAR, enhance biodiversity, forest management, and conservation? In this latest episode of The Global List Podcast, we venture deep into the Amazon for an illuminating conversation with Prof. Eric Bastos Görgens. In 2019, it was Prof. Görgens’ group of Brazilian and British researchers who located the largest tree in the Amazon, 88 meters (289ft) high. Since then, the research project has mapped even more of the Amazon using the latest in LiDAR and drone technology as well as innovative research methods.

The Global List Podcast/Ep 5/The Future Farmers
What’s it like inside the largest vertical/indoor farm in Europe? What does the future of food production look like given climate and weather-related challenges? In this latest episode of The Global List Podcast, we travel to Copenhagen, Denmark, for a conversation with Anders Riemann, the Founder and CEO of Nordic Harvest – Europe’s largest vertical farm.
Given climate change, rapid urbanization and food supply/security issues, how will we feed ourselves as we move into the future? Can we continue to just rely on traditional farming given weather-related issues and the impact on climate change? What role can vertical/indoor farming play in addressing the challenges? In this latest episode of The Global List Podcast, we travel to Copenhagen, Denmark, for a conversation with Anders Riemann, the Founder and CEO of Nordic Harvest – Europe’s largest vertical farm.

The Global List/Ep 2/The Vaccine Innovators
As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. So, how do you create your own COVID vaccine when you don’t have access to the intellectual property? In this episode of The Global List, I head to Cape Town, South Africa, to speak with Dr. Petro Terblanche, the Managing Director of Afrigen Biologics and Vaccines, which made history by creating the first African COVID vaccine based on the publicly available sequence sequence of Moderna’s mRNA vaccine.

NOTE: Since recording the episode, Afrigen has gone on to set a number of key milestones including the following:
Afrigen has signed two bilateral technology agreements to improve on the 1st generation technology (improved process efficiency to lower COGS and formulation with novel lipids to produce improved thermostability of 4 to 8 degrees C) and agreements to develop a pipeline of mRNA vaccines relevant for the burden of diseases in LMICs). These partnerships are with Quantoom and eTheRNA two Biotech companies in Belgium and the NIH Vaccine Research Center (VRC)
Fifteen (15) spokes to the mRNA Hub have been approved and will receive technology from the mR:NA Hub at Afrigen.
Training and capacity building for spokes have commenced.
The mRNA Covid19 vaccine candidate has started pre-clinical studies and shows very promising results for immunogenicity and neutralizing antibody responses.
The scale-up of the lab scale process has started and preparation for GMP production is underway.
The design of the clinical protocols has started and Afrigen is also engaged in consultations with the regulator.
