I think MM is doing a great job,
And has the experience and skillset required,
Having worked for over 25 years in the bioscience industry.
She may well be the Inventor of much of the IP BIT uses and needs....
I think it is very un-wise for people to suggest she be replaced,
And really think that if She were a Male CEO that it would likely not be happening as much.
To me MM is a Substantial part of the core of BIT,
And She knows her stuff.
Good things take time,
And it's better to take the time to get it right the first time,
Especially in this space.
They all contribute and together make Biotron.
Everyone adds something to the Co.

"Stephen Becker has had an extensive career as a pharmaceutical development executive in both the public and private sector organizations. He has worked extensively in the HIV and antiviral therapeutic arenas, as well at the interface of viral and cancer immunology.
Dr Becker worked for more than 6 years at the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation where he led HIV treatment, prevention and cure efforts. This included early stage development of long-acting antiretrovirals, and broadly neutralizing antibodies. He coordinated foundation-supported efforts with the NIH, biopharma, WHO and global regulatory agencies.
Dr Becker’s career in HIV began in the early 1980s while a faculty member at UCSF where he led a large HIV clinical practice, and clinical research program. His areas of research included pharmacology and pharmacogenetics, early stage drug development, and health service outcomes research."

"Professor Locarnini, is a past director of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Reference Laboratory for Hepatitis B and D for the Western Pacific Region (WPRO). His current major research interests include viral hepatitis, hepatitis vaccines and antiviral chemotherapy with an emphasis on the basic virology of the various agents of hepatitis, the molecular pathogenesis of hepatitis, as well as prevention and public health control measures."
As you can see It's a good Team,
All have different experience in the Industry,
And all have important contributions they make.
That makes BIT what it is and all are important parts of the puzzle....
Anyhow all those experienced people with different ways of doing things,
Really gives BIT an advantage and is a good combination.
Looking forward to seeing the Phase II Trial Results Shortly....
