Our Team

Leadership

ANEW MEDICAL INC’s leadership team is comprised of individuals who are dedicated to upholding the company’s core principles of cutting-edge technology, quality, and integrity. We will produce and sell products with the highest quality we expect for ourselves, our children and our family and friends. This was the key driving principle for the formation of the company and its ongoing operations.

Our dedicated team is comprised of individuals with the technical, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, gene therapy, cell therapy, clinical, regulatory, and business expertise that is necessary for innovation and success. The combination of this experience will contribute to the development of a diverse range of life-saving medicines. Our staffing includes personnel and advisors in the U.S. and Europe that have extensive experience in the “branded” pharmaceutical and biotechnology commercial processes for making and selling biologic-based drugs. The Company will exploit its technical and commercial expertise to develop and obtain approval to launch, market and sell our own branded product lines, and/or to develop partnerships with other large pharmaceutical corporations to market and sell our products.
