NEW YORK, NY,, Aug. 19, 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, including concussions and penetrating injuries, announced today that it has retained PCG Advisory Inc., a leading investor relations and digital strategies firm, to provide investor relations, strategic communications and capital market advisory services. Jonah Meer, Qrons' Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Qrons has developed two product candidates based on innovative technology using 3D printable, biocompatible advanced materials and a novel delivery system to reduce neuronal loss and functional impairment and induce neuronal regeneration and functional improvement in the treatment of traumatic brain injuries. We have also recently appointed Dr. John Bonfiglio as Chief Operating Officer to oversee our IND process in preparation for human clinical trials. We believe that PCG’s seasoned team, contacts, skills and strategies will assist us in communicating these important advancements to investors.” Jeff Ramson, CEO of PCG Advisory, said; “Qrons’ work is important as there are currently no approved treatment options for traumatic brain injuries.
