Advancing Innovation in Dermatology

I have covered a number of hair loss and dermatology related organization on this site in the past.

Advancing Innovation in Dermatology

Recently, I came across a new non-profit US-based organization whose leadership team includes several world renowned hair loss research experts. This organization is called Advancing Innovation in Dermatology (AID). Check out their events page for some of their  own past events as well as those of other associations.

The most well known person on this company’s staff is Ken Washenik of Aderans and Bosley fame. He is perhaps the third most famous hair loss research personality in the world behind George Cotsarelis and Angela Christiano. However, all three of these esteemed scientists have made overly optimistic forecasts about hair cloning or hair multiplication in the past.

William Ju

However, the person that interests me the most is William Ju, the president of Advancing Innovation in Dermatology. Until mid-2013, he was also president of Follica. While Aderans lost its funding in 2013 and seems to hold limited potential for a rebirth, Follica is still operating successfully.

In fact, just prior to leaving Follica, Dr. Ju was quoted in an article (Marketwatch link no longer working) and seemed to be full of optimism regarding Follica’s potential. So it is surprising that so soon after expressing this optimism, Dr. Ju left Follica and moved to a non-profit organization.

  1. William Ju got out and not a word. Neil Walker got in and not a word and he’s not even included in follica’s webpage yet. They’re always evasive and vague, progressing progressing progressing but never shows evidence. Predictions were 3/4 years as well, in 2008. 2014 and not a word about it. WTF with this company and their secrecy? I think they must have something really good or they have nothing all this time and are making all of us of fool!!!
