GeneThera Press Release Details Expansion Into Crohn’s Disease
Dr. Tony Milici, GeneThera founder and CEO, announced his company’s expansion into the Crohn’s disease research field in a press release on January 25, 2016.

Since it has long been thought that Johne’s disease, which is caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium avium spp paratuberculosis (MAP), has a zoonotic link to Crohn’s disease, GeneThera’s research could provide critically needed solutions.
