Alachua, Fla. – (Marketwired) November 4, 2015 CTD Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CTDH), a biotechnology company that develops cyclodextrin-based products for the treatment of disease, today announced that Judge Joseph J. Farnan of the Wilmington, Delaware law firm Farnan LLP has joined its Board of Directors.

 

Judge Farnan served as a United States District Judge for the District of Delaware from 1985 to 2010 and as Chief Judge from 1997 to 2001.
