Here is another interesting connection between Vita34 and CBAI that Eco posted back in December.
Interesting bit of information!
As we all know Matt recently spent 10 days in Germany, and as I said earlier "I don't think he was site seeing".
Here is a link between CBAI and a German Cord Blood Bank.
They both have a common Board member. Jack Goldberg MD
There may be nothing to this but, I found it rather interesting! Any Thoughts?
