“Raul and I have worked together on a number of projects over the past 12 years. Initially, my company, Microcide, formed a collaboration with his company Ambergene to screen ancient microorganisms for drug leads. He then became an adivsor to Microcide in natural product screning, and I became an advisor to Ambergene. Since then Raul has also consulted for other companies I have been involved with, and we have also worked on a couple of start-up companies together. Raul is a trustworhy, reliable and honest person who has been a pleasure to work with. He does what he says, when he says he will do it. He is a first-rate scientist who I would work with in the future without hesitation."
