Bio Therapeutic Molecules Inc.

BTMI will focus on the identification, investigation and development of plant-derived therapeutics in the natural health and pharmaceutical space for the treatment of chronic ailments and unmet medical needs. Plant lines will be established as pharma-grade Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and derived pharmaceutical products will be identified through discovery and partnership pursuits. One of the key pillars for success will be the establishment of a facility for the production of pharma-grade APIs that meet all regulatory, quality and safety expectations for their intended use.

BTMI will use cannabis as the model system to establish requirements to grow medicinal APIs that meet regulatory, quality and safety expectations of the pharmaceutical industry. To support this strategy BTMI has submitted an application to Health Canada to become a Licensed Producer of Medical Marihuana. Also, BTMI is pursuing the development of facilities and approvals for temporary space to begin research and development activities immediately. Direct sale of dried marihuana against current regulation will support near term growth, and discovery activities with respect to phyto/bio-active molecules will be pursued to establish a pipeline of potential products for longer term growth.

BTMI is located in the Ontario Technology Triangle. Its proximity to the University of Guelph, generally considered as Canada's leading Plant Biology/Biotechnology university, to McMaster University, whose Faculty of Health Sciences is a leader in biomedical and health care research, to Waterloo University, whose School of Pharmacy recently introduced a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, and to Niagara College, which plays a preeminent role in training personnel for the Horticultural Industry, positions the Company to attract additional highly qualified, experienced and entry-level employees.

BTMI has a multi-disciplinary scientific team of principals and advisors who are experts in horticultural science, including metabolism, biochemistry, physiology, breeding and production, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, including discovery, development, manufacturing and marketing of drugs.
