BOTA Profile

Investing in biopharmaceutical companies like BOTA carries certain risks, including the potential for market fluctuations, regulatory risks, and clinical trial risks. Additionally, the success of a company's therapies is dependent on several factors, including the safety and efficacy of the products and the ability to obtain regulatory approval. Potential investors should carefully consider these risks before making any investment decisions.
