"You Have To Do This" Leads Dr. Chris Stern to Oxygen Biotherapeutics
9-24-2009

By a factor of ten, more soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan will incur traumatic brain injury, than any other serious battle wound. If Dr. Chris Stern, Chairman and CEO of Oxygen Biotherapeutics (OTCBB.OXBO) and his team have anything to say about it, however, their "synthetic blood" will soon dramatically enhance soldier's mortality and recovery rates. The company tag line, "Employing O2. Preserving Life", is no understatement as to their mission, calling, and potential.

The long and compelling story of oxygen-related therapies, articulated by Dr. Stern, referenced its origins (check out Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol) and bountiful indications. Not wanting to be a "one trick pony", commercial opportunities extend from acne to wound treatment, to decompression sickness, and ultimately to heart attack, sickle cell anemia, and traumatic brain injuries.

The company's first product, Dermacyte, a topical gel delivering oxygen to skin cells, hits store shelves October 19th. Dr. Stern quickly shifted to pitchman and glibly hailed its ability to "eliminate all wrinkles"! Phase II clinical trials for Oxycyte, addressing TBI, are set to begin in Switzerland and Israel, negotiations for United States' trials are ongoing. Altering his tone, Dr. Stern sincerely emphasized the moral obligation, over the profit motive, to better offer treatment of our soldiers and veterans.

Dr. Stern expressed insights related to their corporate move from California to RTP (which should be glowingly portrayed in all future NC Chamber of Commerce propaganda), "vulture" capitalists, gaining and maintaining corporate focus, and moving to the AMEX or Nasdaq, potentially as early as December. Whether you invest in the company or not, Oxygen Biotherapeutics is a story that everyone in the audience warmly embraced, and will unanimously root for its success.
