Director's Message

Greetings ,

This month's BioTherapy Live! webinar will offer an unusual insight into maggot therapy research. Traditionally, biotherapy refers to the application of live animals to diagnose, treat, or mitigate illness. But many researchers are looking for ways to benefit from the animals' extracts or biochemicals, instead of the living animals. This coming Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at 12:pm PDT, we will have the opportunity to hear from such a researcher: Dr. David Goldsmith, Senior Medical Advisor of SolasCure, live from London UK. Join me as we learn about the benefits, drawbacks, and progress in this field of research.

Like the other webinars in our BioTherapy Live series, this program will be recorded and posted for later viewing. You will be able to view the recording, along with all of our earlier broadcasts, on our Facebook Page or our YouTube channel.

But if you want to ask Dr. Goldsmith questions, you will need to be present at the live webinar, or send us your questions in advance.

I hope to see some of you next week at our webinar. In the meantime, let us know how we can help you in your pursuit of providing, accessing, or investigating biotherapy.

Ron Sherman,

Director
