Bertolino, MD, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Medical Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “Both Brilacidin and Kevetrin are Platform drug candidates with multiple therapeutic applications given unique mechanisms of action and properties. We feel strongly that these drug candidates hold tremendous treatment potential for improving the lives of countless patients and look forward to continuing to evaluate them in clinical trials.”
