[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nDr. Daugherty has 40+ years of experience managing biotechnology projects and companies focused on cancer, immunology, vaccines, and nutraceuticals\n\n\nDr. Daugherty will serve as medical monitor for the upcoming Phase III clinical trial and for potential future clinical trials, focusing on assessing any safety issues that arise on a real-time basis, leveraging his MD from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and prior experience as a medical monitor for oncology-related clinical trials.\n\n\n \n\n STAFFORD, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nGreenwich LifeSciences, Inc.
