He has recently served as Chairman of the Division of Urology at the University of Toronto and of

have someone of Dr. Jewett’s calibre join Theralase’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Board to lead our
bladder cancer clinical research program. He has been actively engaged in clinical cancer research and
will prove to be an invaluable resource for helping to design our clinical protocols, in conjunction with
