The remaining stake of Global BioLife is held in equal proportions by Mr Daryl Thompson's GRDG Sciences LLC and Australia Securities Exchange-listed Holista CollTech Limited.
Mr Daryl Thompson was nominated for a Nobel Prize in 2015 and 2016 for his research in cutting-edge organic and carbohydrate chemistry as well his research in pandemics technology to fight pandemics such as Ebola. He has used his expertise to initiate research regarding universal therapeutics to cure the world's deadliest diseases.

("Charles River") which provides essential products and services to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, government agencies and leading academic institutions around the globe accelerate their research and drug development efforts.
Mr Daryl Thompson said: "We expect to obtain validating laboratory data from the universal therapeutic drug platform within the first six months and are targeting for the platform itself to be completed within twelve months. We have a unique patented technology and are already getting interest from Big Pharma players and venture capitalists. This interest will rise as the validating data becomes available."
