“Todos Medical is proud to announce the finalization of our JV Agreement with Amarantus Bioscience. Our jointly-owned subsidiary Breakthrough Diagnostics will develop the LymPro Test 2.0, which is potentially the first diagnostic blood test for Alzheimer’s disease,” said Herman Weiss, MD MBA, CEO of Todos Medical ( TOMDF Loading...). “We are optimistic that this venture will help us improve our understanding of how the body’s immune system responds to disease. Our goal is early diagnosis of disease. Currently, 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimers disease with 500,000 new diagnoses made every year. We are talking about the ability to have a positive impact on a staggering amount of lives.”
“Todos Medical is working to commercialize its diagnostics cancer markers, which is a key value inflection for any diagnostic company,” said Gerald E. Commissiong, President & CEO of Amarantus. “We expect LymPro to help Todos Medical ( TOMDF Loading...) build upon its deep understanding of the interplay between immune system and aberrant cell proliferation processes that lead to disease. We believe this combination will help drive the clinical and commercial plan for LymPro and deliver significant shareholder value for Amarantus and Todos Medical.”
Under the terms of the JV Agreement, Todos Medical ( TOMDF Loading...), has an exclusive option to acquire the remaining 80.01% of Breakthrough Diagnostics in exchange for an additional 30.01% of Todos Medical’s shares.
