Qrons Extends Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth College

Supports Continued Research for the Development of Innovative 3D Printable, Biocompatible Advanced Materials, and Stem Cell Delivery Techniques for Traumatic Brain Injuries 

NEW YORK, NY, Nov. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Qrons Inc. (QRON), an emerging biotechnology company developing advanced stem cell-synthetic hydrogel-based solutions for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) including concussions and penetrating injuries, today announced that it has extended the term of its Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth College for an additional year with funding through July 14, 2020.

Professor Chenfeng Ke of the Chemistry Department at Dartmouth, and a member of the Qrons Scientific Advisory Board, will continue as the Principal Investigator for the sponsored research. Since July 2018, Qrons has been conducting research with Professor Ke to develop innovative 3D printable, biocompatible advanced materials as a component of its stem cell-based TBI treatment. In October 2019, Qrons entered into an Intellectual Property License Agreement with Dartmouth for an exclusive world-wide license of intellectual property related to 3D printable materials in the fields of human and animal health. Professor Ke is also an inventor of the licensed 3D process.

Professor Chenfeng Ke commented, “Our project plan for the next year includes exploring a deeper level of integration of our hydrogels with cells and the surrounding environment to expand their adaptability for biomedical applications.”

Jonah Meer, Qrons' co-founder and CEO, added, "The extension of the Sponsored Research Agreement is a testament to the working relationship of our teams and the important work we’re doing together to improve the treatment of TBIs.”

"The importance of continuing our research with the team at Dartmouth cannot be overstated. We value our working relationship and are confident that we will continue to advance towards achievement of our goals,” concluded Ido Merfeld, Qrons’ co-founder, President and Head of Product.
