Guelph (August 28, 2025) – BirchBioMed Inc., a leading biopharmaceutical company and expert in the development of products for scarring and other fibrosis-related disorders, is thrilled to announce Hamilton Health Sciences’ (HHS) Centre for Burn Research in Ontario, Canada, as the first contracted clinical trial site for its Phase II/III randomized study of the naturally-based compound, FS2.

The trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06807021) will be initiated at HHS’ Centre for Burn Research which specializes in research on developing treatments and therapies to improve healing and quality of life outcomes for burn patients through evidence-based care.

FS2, a kynurenic acid product, was first identified as a potential drug candidate for clinical research by investigators at the University of British Columbia. In preclinical trials of the topical cream compared to a leading competitor product, FS2 demonstrated superior prevention of scars as well as the breakdown and reduction of existing scars that occurred both externally and internally after injury, surgery or disease. FS2 is unique in its therapeutic category as it targets scarring on a molecular level.

The objective of the study is to see how FS2 affects scar formation in people with burn injuries that need skin graft surgery. Notably, the study assessment will utilize 3D clinical imaging technology, alongside subjective rating scales, to objectively assess and measure scar healing.

Dr. Carlos Camozzi, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer, BirchBioMed, said: “As experts in the development of products for scarring and other fibrosis-related disorders, we are delighted to enter this exciting new phase of our FS2 clinical program. 

“We see this trial as a pivotal moment in burn care, and we continue to hear from our partnered physicians across the country that innovation is long overdue. There is considerable anticipation for FS2’s potential to transform the lives of millions of people suffering from disfiguring and often life-threatening scars.”  

SGS Nutrasource’s collaboration with HHS represents the first of up to ten clinical sites in Canada earmarked to undertake this research. The first patients are expected to enrol by September 2025.

“Every aspect of this study has been carefully designed to prioritize patient experience and rigorously evaluate the product’s efficacy”, says Adam Kuttenkeuler, PMP, Project Manager at SGS Nutrasource. “SGS Nutrasource is proud to lead this one-of-a-kind study across Canada, launching with such a prestigious research site.”

In addition to product manufacturing, quality and development, SGS Nutrasource provides BirchBioMed with extensive clinical and regulatory expertise at this strategic pivotal point in its development.

Ingleburn, NSW – 29 May 2025 – A growing number of adults over 40 are choosing dental veneers in Ingleburn to rejuvenate their smiles. Andrew Baderski Dental on Oxford Road has seen a significant rise in demand for porcelain veneers, driven by the desire for natural-looking, long-lasting cosmetic results without invasive procedures.

The clinic attributes the increase in cosmetic dentistry treatments to patients seeking renewed confidence, especially for career transitions, dating, and milestone life events. Porcelain veneers are now one of the most requested treatments among patients aged 40 to 65, reflecting a wider trend toward non-surgical smile makeovers.

“Many adults come to us wanting to feel better about their smile but without going through braces or multiple treatments,” said Dr Andrew Baderski, Principal Dentist and long-standing provider of cosmetic dentistry in Ingleburn. “Porcelain veneers provide immediate, transformative results—closing gaps, correcting chips, and whitening teeth in just a few appointments. We’ve seen firsthand how these changes impact people’s self-esteem and daily lives.”

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth. The material is durable, stain-resistant, and custom-designed to match the patient’s facial features and preferences.

As awareness grows around the subtle but powerful benefits of cosmetic dentistry, patients are turning to trusted local providers like Andrew Baderski Dental for safe, high-quality solutions. The clinic’s strong reputation for personalised care, combined with its use of digital imaging and high-end dental materials, has made it a preferred choice for cosmetic dentistry in Ingleburn.
