Dr. Patrick Mwamba, MD received his medical degree from the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium in 1998. Prior to specializing in hair restoration, Dr. Mwamba participated in a fellowship in general surgery where he developed fine hands skills and learned wound management and closure techniques.

In 2000, Dr. Mwamba moved to the United States and began working with Dr. John P. Cole at New Hair Institute (NHI and MHR) in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Mwamba immediately fell in love with the art and science of hair replacement. His compassion for hair loss sufferers led him to dedicate his efforts, full-time, to the practice of hair transplantation.  In 2002 Dr. Mwamba went with Dr. Cole when Dr. Cole opened his own clinic - the International Hair Transplant Institute (IHTI).

In addition to working with Dr. Cole and the International Hair Transplant Institute (IHTI), Dr. Mwamba has had the pleasure of working with many other excellent physicians including Dr. Paul T. Rose, and Dr. Jean Devroye.   

Dr. Mwamba is privileged to have learned and mastered the art of total microscopic Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). He is also proud to be one the early developers and pioneers of the minimally invasive Follicular Isolation Technique (FIT), also known as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Due to the huge demand for FIT/FUE, Dr. Mwamba’s work is largely dedicated to this elegant procedure.

Dr. Mwamba performs both STRIP and FUE.  He believes that the two techniques are complementary and what matters the most is the final results.  He believes that to better serve his patients he must master all the different techniques and aspect of hair loss.

Being in the industry for 11 years, Dr. Mwamba was trained to perform STRIP surgery at NHI, MHR, IHTI with Dr. Cole.  They were among the best because they built up their reputation on their strip cases. Because of their focus on improving their techniques to meet patient's requests, they started to develop their FUE technique called FIT in 2003.  Dr. Mwamba has 11 years of experience with STRIP and about 8 years in FUE.

In 2006, Dr. Mwamba started his own private medical practice, World Hair Transplant Center (myWHTC) in Brussels, Belgium. The practice is dedicated exclusively to hair restoration surgery and employs the finest technologies and the most cutting edge techniques. Dr. Mwamba finds his life’s work to be as challenging as it is rewarding and he constantly strives to create a joyful and productive environment for both his patients and his staff.

Dr. Mwamba is known for his kind demeanor, meticulous attention to detail, and keen aesthetic sensibility.

Histogen Announces Initial Close of Series A Financing Round

Histogen Announces Initial Close of Series A Financing Round

  
SAN DIEGO, May 2, 2008 - Histogen, Inc., a regenerative medicine company developing solutions based on the products of newborn fibroblasts, today announced the initial close of Series A financing at $5.35 million. The round was completed by private and corporate investors, including Secure Medical Inc., CellCeuticals Skin Care Inc., and Leonard H. Lavin, founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Alberto-Culver Company.
Histogen will utilize the round to fund Phase 1 clinical trials for hair growth and complete 510k submissions for wound and hernia repair applications. The round will also enable the Company to upscale manufacturing for Exceltrix, Histogen's human Extracellular Matrix product, and HGEN-001, Histogen's proprietary liquid formulation.
"We are pleased that we have exceeded our original target for the Series A round, and have added highly experienced investors to our list of shareholders," said Gail K. Naughton, Ph.D., CEO of Histogen. "With the close of this financing, we look forward to bringing additional talent to our already seasoned team, and getting our first products to market within the next 12 months."
The initial close of Series A financing will allow Histogen to maintain timelines for product introductions, including the Company's first tissue engineering products, which are slated for launch in late 2008 and early 2009. From two product families, Exceltrix and HGEN-001, which are derived from a single manufacturing process, Histogen forsees a breadth of applications in a variety of markets, from research tools to cosmeceuticals.
About Histogen
Histogen, launched in 2007, seeks to redefine regenerative medicine by developing a series of high value products without the use of embryonic stem cells or animal products. Through Histogen's proprietary bioreactors that mimic the embryonic environment, newborn fibroblasts are encouraged to naturally produce the vital proteins and growth factors from which the company has developed its rich product portfolio. Histogen has two product families - Exceltrix, Histogen's human Extracellular Matrix (ECM) and HGEN-001, Histogen's proprietary liquid formula.

Hair Restoration Specialist Dr. Craig Ziering Joins Histogen Scientific Advisory Board...

Hair Restoration Specialist Dr. Craig Ziering Joins Histogen Scientific Advisory Board

 
SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2008 - Histogen, Inc., a regenerative medicine company developing solutions based on the products of newborn fibroblasts, today announced that Dr. Craig Ziering, renowned hair transplant surgeon and founder of Ziering Medical, has joined Histogen's Scientific Advisory Board.
A leading authority in hair transplant surgery, Dr. Ziering has performed over 12,000 procedures in his career, and currently operates hair restoration centers in California, Utah and Nevada. He is certified by both the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the American Osteopathic Board of Dermatology, serves on the advisory board for companies including Merck and Lexington International, and is Surgical Faculty for the Procedural Dermatology Fellowship at the University of California at Irvine.
Dr. Ziering is recognized as an expert in the art and science of hair transplant surgery, including his work as an Extreme Team Surgeon for television's Extreme Makeover and appearances on Dr. 90210 and the Today Show. He also remains an active participant in research, and serves as a strong advocate of hair cloning as a future treatment for hair loss.
"Dr. Ziering's expertise in the areas of hair growth and restoration will be invaluable to Histogen as the Company moves toward clinical trials for our HGEN-001 formula as an injectable for hair growth," said Dr. Robert Kellar, Histogen's Vice President of Research and Development. "His understanding of maintaining and stimulating healthy hair follicles and his clinical background make him an ideal addition to Histogen's Scientific Advisory Board."
Histogen's proprietary HGEN-001 liquid formula has potential in a variety of areas from research to cosmeceutical products, but the Company sees hair regrowth as a homerun application with real potential impact. The formula's unique combination of proteins and growth factors has been shown to both stimulate resting hair follicles and induce new follicle formation.
"I am excited to join Histogen's Scientific Advisory Board, and look forward to bringing this promising product through clinical trials," said Dr. Ziering. "Recent research findings on the capabilities of wnt proteins and growth factors to induce hair follicle formation are compelling, and show great potential for the more than 50 million Americans affected by hair loss."
Histogen's injectable for hair growth will begin clinical trials in late 2008, with product launch planned for 2015. Data will be presented at International Investigative Dermatology 2008, taking place May 14-17, 2008 in Kyoto, Japan.
