announcement only 3 team members. do you have any advisors? Do you plan to expand the team? or can you already have news on this?
As you can see we perform biomedical reserch, and you can check our latest publication exploring SupT1 cell infusion as a possible HIV therapy
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27128948Therefore, our team is perfectly capable of doing the job, as is. This is the difference between our ICO and other ICOs. Our project is based on a real business and we have been doing this for years; it's not a collection of fancy presentations.
HOW WE OPERATEFor research projects, Jonathan Fior works as PI (principal investigator), conceiving the experiments and writing the experiment protocol. The work is then commissioned to a Contract Research Organization (CRO), which physically performs the experiments. Jonathan Fior then supervises all aspects related to the research communicating closely with the CRO. Once the experiments are completed, he analyzes the results and writes a scientific paper, which is published in a peer reviewed scientific journal.
This means that although our team is not a large team, we actually have companies with 100+ people working for us. This way we can keep a small, yet strong and great, team. Because we perform the core work internally, and then outsource the rest to big companies with 100+ people (e.g.,
Axenis,
Bertin Pharma), we can operate with a small team.
Now, let me ask you something. Would you rather have the application developed by some junior programmers working on a garage over beers (as it happnes for many ICOs), or have a professional software developer such as
WillowTree working on it?
Having said that, our business is expanding and it's surely possible we will increase our team and/or add advisors. We have some interesting partnership coming and will accounce it when we are ready.
