Dr. Tom Elliott (Medical Director): A leading Canadian endocrinologist with extensive clinical and academic credentials. Insu's work has garnered national and international media attention, with coverage from CBC, Global News, and other major outlets. This growing visibility supports early awareness as the company moves toward commercialization. Victory Square believes Insu Therapeutics represents both a strong commercial opportunity and a mission-aligned investment aimed at improving global health outcomes. The Company continues to support Insu through its next phase of growth and development.
