In addition, Mr. Silva discovered and is commercially developing brown fat stem cells³ under BioRestorative's ThermoStemTM program. Mr. Silva helped start and grow several companies in the regenerative medicine space including PrimeGen Biotech, Medistem Inc and Batu Biologics. Mr. Silva has been collaborating with Dr. Thomas Ichim, Director of Therapeutic Solutions International for more than a decade and have 5 peer reviewed papers published together.

"TSOI has a robust therapeutic pipeline and commercialized products in diverse areas ranging from regenerative medicine and tumor immunology to nutraceuticals. Tim Dixon has demonstrated the ability to rapidly advance technologies through the therapeutics development cycle," said Mr. Silva. "I am honored to work with the impressive team at TSOI and look forward to enhancing the lives of patients while building value to shareholders."

"Having met Mr. Silva on numerous occasions and watching his extraordinary talents to perform cutting edge science while concurrently remaining laser focused on commercialization is truly remarkable and much needed in the biotechnology space," stated Famela Ramos, Vice President of Business Development.
