Dear IHI Friends, 
 
From C. diff to MRSA to KPC, resistant infectious organisms were in the headlines in 2010.  Vestagen is proud to congratulate two of our key researchers who are making strides in the fight against infectious diseases.  Dr. Richard Wenzel and Dr. Thomas Walsh were recognized by their peers this year for their outstanding contributions to teaching, patient care and research at IDSA, ICAAC, APIC and SHEA.

Dr. Wenzel along with Dr. Gonzalo Bearman completed a 16-week blind cross-over clinical trial of Vestex in the ICU at Virginia Commonwealth University as  further evidence for the effectiveness of Vestex.
