This is as it should be. Universities are for research. Mighty congratulations to the very young University for allowing an atmosphere of intellectual work to reign. While older universities are busy with politics and fight over who will be VC and who will control the ‘chopping’ of research grant, FUD has blazed a very important trail for humanity.
Please do all to patent whatever level has been reached before western pharmaceutical vultures steal your intellectual property.
Kudos!!! Credit too to the VC.
