Great piece in The Guardian covering the work of Nadia Radzman (Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU)), one of our brilliant King's Entrepreneurship Lab Research Associates, on how a #crop could transform the nation’s #health. Nadia says: “The crucial point is that L-dopa has been shown to be very effective in treating the condition known as anhedonia, which essentially is the inability to feel or experience pleasure. And that is why I believe the broad bean is important. We have a major problem with growing numbers of young people experiencing #MentalHealth problems in the #UK today, and helping them eat a proper, healthy #diet is going to be crucial in tackling this. The broad bean will be our first line of attack.” You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/exUfp6Me More generally, Nadia is passionate about improving #food #security by translating plant #biotechnology research to the field.
