As we close out the first month of 2020, we wanted to share some highlights from 2019.  Here is VetStem’s 2019 year in review.

In 2019:

• VetStem provided stem cell processing services for over 800 patients.

• We trained over 60 new veterinarians to use VetStem Cell Therapy.

• Over 80 veterinarians began using VetStem services and/or products for the first time.

• We processed fat tissue from more cats in 2019 than we have in any one year out of the entire ten years that we’ve been providing this therapy for cats.  This is likely due to the launch of our Clinical Research Programs including feline Chronic Kidney Disease, Gingivostomatitis, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

• We provided stem cell services for the first bear to be treated with VetStem Cell Therapy.

• Along those same lines, we donated a platelet therapy kit for the treatment of our first kangaroo.

• VetStem was featured in an award-winning documentary, Animal Pharm: Where Beasts Meet Biotech.

• VetStem entered the pet cancer field with new work on a developing cancer therapy. 

• And perhaps most important, in 2019, VetStem announced the launch of our human stem cell company, Personalized Stem Cells, Inc. who is currently conducting an FDA-approved clinical trial for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with stem cells.

WHEW!  It was a big year for us!  Thank you to our veterinary colleagues and pet owners who have entrusted us with the processing of your patient’s and pet’s stem cells.  Here’s to a great 2020 for everyone!
