Today’s announcement further underscores our commitment to innovation and to the expansion of our intellectual property portfolio. This novel product concept, formulated as a topical lotion, addresses the combined roles that serine protease inhibition and inflammation play in this disease,” said Dr. Michael Myers, Chief Executive Officer of Quoin.
