With patients at the core of what we do, Tetra Bio-Pharma is focused on providing rigorous scientific validation and safety data required for inclusion into the existing bio pharma industry by regulators, physicians and insurance companies.

Mr. Chamberland was instrumental in selecting the Company’s first President so that he could devote more time to the regulatory strategies and drug development of Caumz, Qixleef and HCC011. As President, Mr. Chrétien will be responsible for investor relations and preparing Tetra for the commercialization of Caumz and Qixleef.  The CEO and President will continue to promote Tetra and work with the CFO on future financings.

During his 31-year career, Mr. Chrétien has served in senior leadership roles at several well-respected and innovative companies.  In his most recent position, Mr. Chrétien served as both the Canadian President and Board Member for Medexus Pharmaceutical Inc. Prior to that, Mr. Chrétien founded Pediapharm Inc., a Medexus predecessor entity, and loyally served as its President and Chief Executive Officer from 2008 until 2018. Mr. Chrétien successfully guided Pediapharm from its infancy into a solidly flourishing Company demonstrating his commercial development, operational, manufacturing, and financial leadership skills. As a result of his astute leadership and guidance, Pediapharm developed into one of Canada’s leading pediatric specialty pharma companies. In late 2018, Mr. Chretien successfully completed a transformative transaction for Pediapharm resulting in the merger of 3 entities: Pediapharm, Medexus and Medac U.S., creating Medexus Pharmaceutical Inc.; a North American specialty pharma company.

Mr. Sylvain Chrétien, stated “I am honored to join Dr. Chamberland and the entire team of Tetra as they work to develop QIXEEF and CAUMZ for patients with advanced cancer pain.
