Thompson recently stepped down from the Pure Board and joined the Advisory Panel.
Michael L. Krall, President and CEO of PURE Bioscience, said, "We are pleased to announce the formation of the Advisory Panel and are honored to welcome its first members. As we continue to validate additional applications for SDC in many diverse industries and work to develop strategies for each industry, we believe it will be invaluable to receive guidance from key leaders in various market segments. Access to the experience, vision and contacts of leaders like Tom Ridge, Dr. Scott Russell and Tommy Thompson exponentially strengthens our business development program.
Secretary Tommy G. Thompson said on his appointment to the Advisory Panel, "I'm enthusiastic about the opportunity to continue to work with PURE by serving on the Advisory Panel. Although the profile in the August 23rd edition of the Sunday New York Times certainly helped raise awareness of SDC-based products, we still have a lot of work to do. I remain committed to my mission of helping to educate government agencies, businesses and consumers about the remarkable benefits of SDC-based products and how they can be instrumental in preventing transmission of dangerous human pathogens like MRSA, Norovirus and the pandemic H1N1 swine flu virus."
Secretary Tom Ridge said, "The unique chemical nature of SDC as a stable, powerful yet non-toxic antimicrobial molecule renders it critically important to the field of public safety. A multitude of possible applications exists for SDC in domestic and international industry and government, including the military, and I welcome the prospect of working with PURE Bioscience to accelerate its business strategy to commercialize SDC as a platform technology."
