As a trained neurologist, I believe in the scientific and clinical rationale for Tauriga’s natural wellness line, which includes topical cannabis creams as well as natural, amino acid-based dietary supplements. I am excited about establishing and growing the customer base for Tauriga’s consumer product line. I am also enthusiastic about commercializing Tauriga’s synthetic biology platform for remediating wastewater and generating energy in the process. Tauriga has great prospects, and it will be truly rewarding to help Dr. Sung and her highly talented management team take the company to the next stage by focusing on strong fundamentals and on rapid revenue growth.”

Dr. Brennan will have an immediate impact on the Tauriga’s natural wellness business, which has recently launched and has begun to generate revenues.
