– USA, CA / NY – Vantage Health (OTCQB:VNTH) today announced the appointment of Kevin Buckman MD FAAIM, DAAUCM, MACOEM, MRO as Chairman and CEO of the Company.
The Company also announced that Mr. Jeremy Barbera, its current Chairman and CEO, is resigning as an officer and director of the Company and will focus on the scientific aspects of the Company’s technology in a non-executive capacity. This action is due, in part, to certain matters involving a company with which Mr. Barbera was associated several years ago. These matters are unrelated to the Company or any aspect of its technology or business.
It is anticipated that preliminary human trials for the Vantage Health Sensor will begin next month at Scripps Translational Science Institute, paid for by a BioPharma partner of the Company. Mr. Barbera will continue to be Chairman and CEO of Nanobeak, which is the private company majority shareholder of Vantage Health.
