IKOR Industries in Aberdeen does research on animal blood to the end of creating new pharmaceutical products. They are seeking a federal grant to expand this research, hoping to partner with Northern State University. (Yes, NSU is my employer). Full information here. A snippet.
IKOR, which plans to process blood from Aberdeen's beef processing plant under construction, now seeks a $1 million federal grant to launch what Canton calls an ag pharma research center in Aberdeen with Northern State University as a partner. Ag pharma is short for agriculture and pharmaceuticals. South Dakota's congressional delegation is working on the grant request, he said.
NSU's International Business Institute and Biology Department are perfect fits with IKOR, he said. Professors and students in these fields would be involved in the research center.
All this connects with the world economy because IKOR uses bovine blood to create pharmaceutical products for humans and animals.
