Revving Up in Melbourne: Grit, Gear, and Groundbreaking Science

Day 02 in Melbourne kept the adrenaline pumping as we continued Road to the Max: Australia. Our day kicked off with a meeting with Brent Owens, Co-Founder and US CEO of Vitrafy Life Sciences, who shared how their cutting-edge cryopreservation technology is revolutionizing cell therapies. Next, we hit the road to meet Sharon Charles, Vice President of Clinical Operations at ProPharma, at the historic Shrine of Remembrance, a solemn tribute to all Australians who served in wars. Amid the echoes of history, we discussed the future of clinical operations with the world’s largest research consulting organization.

A Bit of a Max Rockatansky Start

The pace quickened as we headed over to scenic St. Kilda to meet Frank Giampieri, Chief Science Officer at Primal Organix, who introduced us to their innovative Terpene products targeting symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and pain. As we headed back to Melbourne proper, our journey hit a bump – car trouble in true Mad Max fashion. Thankfully, the NAS mechanic came to the rescue, getting us back on track and ready to pick up producer Phill Neill at Melbourne International. With our team now complete and engines roaring, the next 15 days promise to be nothing short of epic.
