American CryoStem Appoints Dr. Mel Bircoll to Its Medical Advisory Board
December 06 2012 - 9:00AM
American CryoStem Corporation (OTCQB:CRYO), a leading biotech
company in the Regenerative Medicine industry, announced today the
appointment of Dr. Mel Bircoll to its Medical Advisory Board. Dr.
Bircoll will be taking an active role on the Advisory Board to lead
the development of the Company's educational and informational
programs focused on adipose tissue transfer and storage.
Dr. Bircoll is board certified by the American Board of Plastic
Surgery and the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. He is a member
of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Academy
of Cosmetic Surgery. He is widely known as the first Plastic
Surgeon to perform Liposuction in North America.
Since the 1980's he has pioneered and championed liposuction
procedures from its early beginnings to it becoming the most
frequently performed cosmetic procedure. He is also the originator
of fat transfer (autologous fat transplantation). His landmark
presentation: "Fat Transfer Using Liposuction Techniques" (1984),
established this procedure for breast augmentation, facial and hand
rejuvenation, as well as a host of reconstructive procedures
commonly used by surgeons today.
John S. Arnone, CEO stated, "As an active working member of our
Medical Advisory Board, we will benefit from his tremendous
industry recognition as one of the leading authorities on adipose
tissue transfer applications. His capability to guide long-term
success in the rapidly developing adipose tissue transfer market in
an increasingly regulated business environment is an invaluable
assist to the Company and its shareholders. Dr. Bircoll will also
lead the national expansion of our tissue storage platform to
physicians, adopting new adipose tissue transfer and storage
services for their patients."
Mr. Arnone further commented, "The added advantage of our
platform is that, every stored tissue sample may be retrieved and
further processed in the future into an expanded clinical stem cell
sample for use in the Cellular Therapy and Regenerative Medicine
industry."
Dr. Bircoll is retired from 25 years of private practice in
Beverly Hills, California and is currently lecturing and teaching
the techniques of fat transfer and fat storage for stem cell
extraction, as well as cosmetic and reconstructive applications.
His latest research presents the use of serial injections of
cryopreserved autologous adipose tissue for breast reconstruction
following cancer prevention surgery.
"I am very excited by the opportunity to expand my lecture and
teaching activities to my associates and peers that are focused on
tissue transfer and tissue storage. The ability to clinically store
fat tissue will revolutionize the tissue transfer market and lead
to better economics and increased procedures for all providers,"
stated Mel Bircoll. "Since I began championing these procedures, I
have always recognized the need to provide a better service to
patients through the ability to access multiple tissue grafting
procedures while performing a single tissue harvest. American
CryoStem's ability to properly collect, process, test and store
tissue in a clinical setting, their attention to regulations and,
their internal quality management methods makes them the "Gold
Standard" of the tissue banking service providers."
