Summary

  • I am retired from Otolaryngology Group Practice in Fort Wayne, IN. I have been Trustee at Indiana University and a Board Member at IU Health and Indiana University Medical School. I am now President of Topikos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a start-up company with four patents pending on NME (new molecular entities) for topical treatment of biofilms involving skin, eye and ear. Topikos Scientific, Inc. has an FDA cleared product that cures gingivitis and halts periodontitis. A human wound-healing product is in the works as is a treatment for fungal keratitis. It is of interest that the template below has no place to record privately owned laboratories or corporate facilities. Nor does it have a place for links to our patents. The assumption? Is everything tied to a journal, a medical school or university or a hospital?
