Our line of human milk-based fortifiers is currently on the market in 9 countries. Most recently, our fortifier for infants recovering from cardiovascular surgeries became available in Germany and Austria. We are also continuing our efforts to bring our products to more patients throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
In addition to exploring innovations and product line extensions for our core nutrition business, we are actively considering business development opportunities. Further, our promising orphan drug pipeline is focused on finding new innovative therapies for indications with highly unmet needs such as Allo-HCT, solid organ transplantation, among others.
