In 2012, palaeontologists Zhong-Qiang Chen at the China University of Geosciences and Mike Benton at the University of Bristol, UK, hypothesized2 that ecosystem recovery happened in steps, with a pyramid-shaped food web building up one level at a time from self-sufficient organisms to apex predat
Developing new drugs is a very expensive and risky business, said Qiang Chen, a professor at Arizona State University currently researching the use of plant-farmed antibodies against the West Nile virus.

Tobacco-grown antibodies promising in the fight against Ebola
Growing antibodies in plants is safer than in mammals, because plants are so far removed, so if they had some sort of plant virus we wouldnt get sick because viruses are host-specific, said Qiang Chen, a plant biologist at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

Earth took 10 million years to recover from biggest extinction
With less than 10 percent of plants and animals surviving and a huge number of biological niches left unfilled, a quick bounce back could seem likely, but according to Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol,

Earth took 10 million years to recover from mass extinction
"It is hard to imagine how so much of life could have been killed, but there is no doubt from some of the fantastic rock sections in China and elsewhere round the world that this was the biggest crisis ever faced by life." says Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan.

Earth took 10 million years to recover from mass extinction, says study
The review, by Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen, from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol, found the delay to recover from the extinction was due to two factors.
