Dear Professor Phang:
Happy new year and congratulations for developing a vaccine for WSSV VP28. I am a biotechnologist, an educator and a researcher. I would like to know if you made additional development since your success in 2009. I am interested to know more about it and possible future co-operation and collaboration on this area.
Looking forward to hear from you more.
