Bob Hutchens is the President & CEO of StemBioSys. StemBioSys markets a range of tools to researchers globally. These tools are used by Biopharmaceutical and Academic scientists in early stage drug efficacy and safety testing. In January of 2020, StemBioSys announced that it had acquired a majority stake in Cartox.
