SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - March 10, 2010) - Entest BioMedical Inc. (OTCBB: ENTB) announced today the addition of Vladimir Bogin, M.D. to its scientific advisory board (SAB). Dr. Bogin is the CEO of Cromos Pharma LLC, a contract research organization (CRO) specializing in the development and operation of clinical trials.
