Aflatoxin is a natural poison emitted by several species of fungi. They infect grain, and exploit insect damage.  Millions of people are affected by these toxins that invade world food staples, mostly with a higher incidence of specific cancers, like liver cancer.  IITA is an organization committed to improving food staples in the developing world.  Dr. Ranjit Bandyopadhyay and his team have discovered a fungal species that out-competes the toxic species, and is being distributed under the Aflasafe label.  This product has great potential in assisting in food security and long term public health goals.  Co-Hosted by Chalese Brown. * Website: www.aflasafe.com that also carries an e-newsletter, ATTC News * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Aflasafe/ * Twitter: https://twitter.com/aflasafe We’re also on: * YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCux7qcOzLELrE5D3aD0c4ow * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aflasafe * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-280541779 * SlideShare: https://www.slideshare.net/Aflasafe # COLABRATalking Biotech is brought to you by Colabra – an R&D platform that brings your lab’s world-changing research together in one shared space.
