"Current technology for the treatment of burns, chronic wounds and diabetic ulcers is extremely expensive, time consuming and lacking in efficacy. Dr. Ludmila Kharazi's finding suggests that using long term cultivated keratinocyte precursor cells may result in reducing the time of healing while lowering the overall treatment cost. As Stemedica continues to make great advancements in products that can treat burns, chronic wounds and diabetic ulcers, Dr. Ludmila Kharazi's work is pivotal in providing the Company with advancements that will make our products, and ultimately patient treatment results, the best the industry has to offer," said Dr. Tankovich. This finding compliments Stemedica's existing proprietary burn and wound care product currently in clinical trials in Switzerland.
