0:00.0 | Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic |
0:19.3 | Surgeon, and we are going to do a podcast with |
0:22.5 | a very fabulous guy. This is Dr. Samuel Lynch, and he's the inventor, CEO, founder, and a real |
0:31.2 | scientist who has come up with a product called Airy Essence. It's a platelet-derived growth factor. |
0:37.4 | Welcome to the podcast, Samuel. |
0:39.3 | Great, Dr. Kay. I'm so happy to be here. I've been so looking forward to us. It's an honor to be |
0:44.3 | on your podcast today. It's great. It's fortuitous that we met because I was at AMSPA and roaming |
0:49.3 | through the exhibit hall and I saw his booth and it was very cute, nice booth and also very interesting. |
0:56.1 | I said platelet derived growth factors. Now that is novel and new to aesthetics. So I know that |
1:02.6 | you've got a doctorate of medical science from Harvard and Southern Illinois University. And |
1:08.5 | you have been actually working with platelet drive growth factors |
1:11.8 | in the orthopedic world for a very long time. So tell me a little about your background. You're |
1:16.7 | definitely a biotech pioneer and interestingly he's IPOed a business for over a billion dollars |
1:22.5 | on NASDAQ. Yeah. So he's done the rounds. I have. So I started out as a scientist, as you said. I actually spent 10 years in the labs at Harvard, which is where a lot of the early discovery work was done on growth factors, all kinds of growth factors. I've worked with all the major growth factors in my career, but then |
1:45.0 | transitioned over into industry because I really had a passion for translational medicine, |
1:51.7 | bringing discoveries from the lab to patients, to help our patients do better. |
1:57.7 | It takes too long for that to happen these days. I feel like people who are on the |
2:02.1 | cutting edge have to wait 10 to 15 years for products to leave the lab, get fully bedded, |
2:07.2 | studied, FDA approved, and then finally in the hands of a primary care doctor or internist. |
2:11.8 | I couldn't agree more. You know, it took us 10 years to develop, as you mentioned, the orthopedic products that contain the recombinant platelet |
2:23.2 | derived growth factor. It took us several more years to get FDA approval for the oral maxil facial |
2:29.0 | surgery products that contain the recommant platelet derived growth factor. So altogether, it was nearly $100 million. |
