Can you talk to us a bit more about the biomarkers or the molecules that you're detecting in your test and how does the technology identify them?
14:39
Yeah, so like I said, the molecules were a combination of different metabolites that we see impact muscle.
14:49
So when we select those biomarkers or metabolites, we had a big study with using tissue bank and we compare it.
14:59
individuals that were sedentary to individuals that were highly active.
15:03
And we saw there was difference between those specific biomarkers.
15:07
We had about 40 of them that was very interesting to search, but we narrowed down to five because those fives were more related to the different aspects of how muscle growth.
15:22
And Two of them are amino acids that builds proteins for muscle fibers growth.

So a question for Hafiala, is there anything, now that you've done your entire education journey and your entrepreneurial journey, and you've built something new and you've created this industry, is there any advice that you can give to a person who's in their PhD or their master's program or nearing the end of their postdoctoral training that could help them for their next stage? Is there any sort of advice that you would like to share?
