A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

Nicole Prause, PhD
Credit: Neal Preston

After ten years of research at universities, I found myself caught between the prohibitions of my institutions on crucial research and the free-for-all poor science behind products in the marketplace. There must be a compromise that uses strong science to inform sexual health for the public. Liberos is my answer.
Dr. Nicole Prause
