“The fact that, despite the current financial climate, we were able to attract so many people to subscribe to the issue is very gratifying. With this funding, we get the opportunity to continue the commercialization within both Animal and Human Care, while at the same time giving room for continued clinical studies. It is now of the utmost importance that we continue to collect clinical data and experience with TSE as a treatment option and at the same time study the immunotherapeutic effects that we create. We see potential for significant commercial success together with our current and new distributors in the near term and focus on delivering on the business opportunities that lie ahead.
