TSOI Team Comments
Dr. Francesco Marincola - TSOI Scientific Advisory Board
"While the concept of using the immune system as cancer therapy is accepted, there is a great need for novel approaches. I am excited to work with the Company at developing StemVacs, a cell therapy product, and NanoStilbene,an inexpensive, nanotechnology based nutraceutical that has shown great promise in current studies," stated Dr. Francisco Marincola. "The unique and practical therapeutics in development by Therapeutic Solutions International offer a fresh approach to current immunotherapies and I am excited to participate in their clinical translation."
Dr. Juergen Winkler - TSOI Scientific Advisory Board
"The Team at Therapeutic Solutions International represents a highly synergistic group comprised of internationally renowned oncologists, immunologists, and business people dedicated to finding solutions for cancer in an unbiased and open-minded manner" said Dr. Winkler, adding "Having interacted with various Team members for over 2 years, I am highly enthusiastic about contributing to this deeply motivated group in their efforts to solve the problem of cancer."
Dr. Thomas Ichim - TSOI Director
"Having worked with the Company's SAB members and management for more than a year now, I am enthusiastic to join the Board. It is very rare to have such a diverse group of personalities and talents under one roof, completely dedicated to advancing development of therapies, for diseases which currently lack therapies" said Dr. Ichim.
Dr. James Veltmeyer - TSOI Chief Medical Officer
"The future of medicine is unfolding right before our eyes at a very rapid pace. Cellular immunotherapies, such as the Company's StemVacs platform allow for reprogramming of the immune system to selectively attack the cancer stem cell, which is believed to be the root of tumor formation," said Dr. James Veltmeyer. "Having worked with the team at TSOI since joining their Scientific Advisory Board, I have been impressed at the Company's pragmatic approach towards hyper-accelerated therapeutics development. I look forward to my more involved role in leading clinical translation of the Company's discoveries from Bench to Bedside."
Dr. Hong Ma - TSOI Chief Scientific Officer
"I am honored to accept the role of Chief Scientific Officer of TSI and look forward to working with their distinguished scientific advisory board. Immunotherapies for cancer and other diseases are currently in a state of rapid development. The pipeline of intellectual property the Company is developing is most impressive and I am very excited to be a part of the TSI Team," stated Dr. Ma.
Dr. Santosh Kesari - TSOI Scientific Advisory Board
"I am honored to be appointed to the Scientific Advisory Board and look forward to working with the Board to help advance new approaches for unmet needs within Neuro-Oncology and Neurotherapeutics," commented Dr. Kesari.
Dr. Nassir Azimi - TSOI Scientific Advisory Board
"I envision a world where NanoStilbene is an essential adjunct to standard medical treatment in patients with cancer and heart disease. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the United States as well as worldwide. With improvements and developments of new novel therapies for patients with cardiovascular disease remains a primary research goal of many clinicians and researchers. Apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy occur in cardiac myocytes (the muscle cells (myocytes) that make up the cardiac muscle (heart muscle), and both gradual and acute cell death are hallmarks of cardiac pathology, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, and ischemia/reperfusion," said Dr. Azimi. "By supplementing NanoStilbene in heart attack patients we hope to show a reduction in apoptosis of cardiomyocytes," added Dr. Azimi.
Dr. Pablo Guzman - TSOI Scientific Advisory Board
“I am fascinated by the rapid progress Mr. Dixon, and the team at TSOI, have accomplished in developing and patenting pterostilbene based therapeutics in the area of oncology” said Dr. Guzman “It is very rare to see a company combine natural-based approaches, in areas such as nutraceuticals, with hard science. I look forward to helping expand some of the Company’s technologies into the cardiovascular space, as well as assist in accelerating clinical translation of the existing programs.”
