NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Cash
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “if converted” method. At September 30, 2021 the potentially dilutive securities mount to shares, the same number as at September 30, 2020.
The Company measures the cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date pursuant ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company in the same expense classifications in the statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.
Accounting for Subsidiary Stock Transactions
The Company accounts for subsidiary stock transactions in accordance with Opinions of the Accounting Principles Board 09 (APBO No. 9). In paragraph 28, this pronouncement excluded all adjustments form transactions in a company’s own stock “. . . from the determination of net income or the results of operations under all circumstances.” During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 1.8 million shares in its subsidiary Pharmalectin to external investors for a total amount of $600,000. Accordingly, APIC has been adjusted with this amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. No such transaction took place during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or be settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the gross deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of provision for income taxes. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalty expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company incurred $1,247,647in research and development expenses, while during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company did not incur any such expenses.
7
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other
Valuation of intangibles are in accordance with ASC 350. Costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating seventeen years. Capitalized patent costs, also referred to as patent prosecution costs, include internal legal labor, professional legal fees, government filing fees and translation fees related to expanding the Company’s patent portfolio. Costs associated with the maintenance and annuity fees of patents are accounted for as prepaid assets at the time of payment and amortized over the shorter of the maintenance period or remaining life of the related patent.
Accrued Expenses
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate accrued expenses. This process involves identifying services that third parties have performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred on these services as at each balance sheet date in our consolidated financial statements. Examples of estimated accrued expenses include professional service fees, such as those arising from the services of attorneys and accountants and accrued payroll expenses. In connection with these service fees, our estimates are most affected by our understanding of the status and timing of services provided relative to the actual services incurred by the service providers. In the event that we do not identify certain costs that have been incurred or we under- or over-estimate the level of services or costs of such services, our reported expenses for a reporting period could be understated or overstated. The date on which certain services commence, the level of services performed on or before a given date, and the cost of services are often subject to our judgment. We make these judgments based upon the facts and circumstances known to us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
Fair Value
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

The Convertible Debentures have a stated interest rate of 4-8% per annum payable quarterly beginning October 23, 2020 and were due one year from the date of issuance, the latest due March 18, 2021 and were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price to the lesser of: (i) the lowest trading price for the twenty-day period prior to the date of the Notes or (ii) 65% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the twenty days prior to a conversion notice on the applicable trading market or the closing bid price on the applicable trading market.
Additionally, the variable conversion rate component requires that the Convertible Notes be valued at its stock redemption value (i.e., “if-converted” value) pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, with the excess over the undiscounted face value being deemed a premium to be added to the principal balance and accreted to additional paid-in capital over the life of the Notes.

These warrants contain a cashless exercise and certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. The Company determined that the Warrants were exempt from derivative accounting and were valued at $97,279 on the Date of Inception using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model. As the warrants were exercisable immediately, this debt discount was amortized in its entirety to interest expense on the Date of Issuance.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the two years ended December 31, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2021. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund operations. To stay in business and to continue the development of our products, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities, debt financing or short-term bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We believe that if we can raise $3,700,000, we will have sufficient working capital to repay the ten convertible notes and develop our business over the next approximately 15 months. At funding raised that is significantly less than $3,700,000, we can likely repay the ten convertible notes and continue to develop our business over the same 15-month period, but funding at that level will delay the development of our technology and business.
Bioxytran, Inc. is headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts. The Company’s initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for stroke. BXT-25 will be designed to be an injectable anti-necrosis drug specifically designed to treat a person immediately after that person suffers an ischemic stroke. The drug is designed to be injected intravenously to travel to the lungs to pick up oxygen molecules to carry to the brain. Like a red blood cell, the drug will cross the blood brain barrier, which is a protective semi-permeable membrane allowing some material to cross but preventing others from crossing. BXT-25 will be designed to diffuse oxygen into the brain tissues. We expect the BXT-25 molecule to be 5,000 times smaller than a red blood cell.
Our Subsidiary is continuing our clinical trials with a candidate named, ProLectin-Rx a complex polysaccharide derived from galactomannan and pectin respectively, that binds to, and blocks the activity of galectin-1 and -3, a type of galectin. Galectins are a member of a family of proteins in the body called lectins. These proteins interact with carbohydrate sugars located in, on the surface of, and in between cells. This interaction causes the cells to change behavior, including cell movement, multiplication, and other cellular functions. The interactions between lectins and their target carbohydrate sugars occur via a carbohydrate recognition domain, or CRD, within the lectin. Galectins are a subfamily of lectins that have a CRD that bind specifically to ß-galactoside proteins. Galectins have a broad range of functions, including regulation of cell survival and adhesion, promotion of cell-to-cell interactions, growth of blood vessels, regulation of the immune response and inflammation. During viral infections galectins are upregulated and downregulated based on the type of virus.
ProLectin-M’s clinical data shows non-toxicity and efficacy for treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19. In our initial Phase I/II clinical trial are published as a peer-reviewed scientific report in the Journal of Vaccines & Vaccinations: Galectin antagonist use in mild cases of SARS-CoV-2; pilot feasibility randomised, open label, controlled trial. The Company is currently working on a Phase III clinical trial with the CDCSO in India, and is preparing its IND for a Phase III clinical trial with the FDA, soon to be followed by a Phase III submission with the EMEA. The clinical trials are expected to take place in December 2021 through January, 2022. Further, the Company is also preparing an IND for a second drug candidate ProLectin-I with similar galactin blocking capabilities as the oral drug, ProLectin-M, but IV-injectable for severe cases of COVID-19. The initial Phase I/II clinical trial is planned for January through March, 2022. The exact timing of the described clinical trials are subject to additional funding.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. As described in Note 7 of the financial statements, the Company has currently four convertible loans outstanding at a total face value of $2,165,000.
The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing to develop its new business opportunities and support the cost of the drug development including clinical trials and regulatory submission to the FDA.
19
Potential Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic in December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus (now commonly known as Covid-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Covid-19 has since spread rapidly throughout many countries, and, on March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of Covid-19, many countries, including the United States, Canada and China, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business closures and a substantial reduction in economic activity in countries that have had significant outbreaks of Covid-19. Covid-19 may have a future material impact on our results of operation with respect to product development and clinical trials. However, significant uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our operations, and on the global economy as a whole. It is currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels. We do not yet know the full extent of any impact on our business or our operations, however, we will continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation closely, and we intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve.
Management plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital or the establishment of strategic relationships with established pharmaceutical companies, the Company may be required to cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue operations.

There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Commitments
We have no current commitment from our officers and directors or any of our shareholders, to supplement our operations or provide us with financing in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources and/or additional sales of stock in the future, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results. In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact to our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. However, the majority of our businesses operate in environments where we pay a fee for a service performed, and therefore the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has share-based compensation plans under which non-employees, consultants and suppliers may be granted restricted stock, as well as options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award over the requisite service period.
The Company applies ASC 718 for options, common stock and other equity-based grants to its employees and directors. ASC 718 requires measurement of all employee equity-based payment awards using a fair-value method and recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The fair value concepts have not changed significantly in ASC 718; however, in adopting this standard, companies must choose among alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company will continue using both the Black-Scholes valuation model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the grant.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Item 3 is not applicable to us because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as at the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that as at September 30, 2021, (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as at the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due primarily to a material weakness in the segregation of duties in the Company’s internal controls.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As disclosed in our previous filings, there are material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to the fact that the Company does not have an adequate process established to ensure appropriate levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters, which resulted in our closing process not identifying all required adjustments and disclosures in a timely fashion. The Company’s CEO/CFO has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
Although the Company has hired a consultant to assist with SEC reporting and accounting matters, we expect that the Company will need to hire accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge to improve the levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters. The Company may experience delays in doing so and any such additional employees would require time and training to learn the Company’s business and operating processes and procedures. For the near-term future, until such personnel are in place, this will continue to constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that could result in material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements not being prevented or detected.
Because of the above material weakness, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021, based on the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business.
On June 5, 2020 the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, issued a commencement of Action based on behalf of Power Up Lending Group, Ltd (“Power Up” or the “Claimant”). The Claimant request that due to the default of their note requesting a judgment for an amount of not less than $420,750. Among other claims Power Up asserts that the Company willfully failed to maintain the trading status, and manipulated its stock in its efforts to defraud the public and its investors by making false press statements and the like. The Company is denying any wrong-doing. On January 20, 2021 the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, granted Power Up a summary judgement against the Company for Breach of Contact, awarding Power Up damages in the amount of $420,750.
The underlying convertible note was, per agreement of the parties, cancelled on May 26, 2021, with Power Up agreeing to a stipulation of discontinuance with prejudice of the law-suite and forfeiture of the mentioned awarded damages.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide this information.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no sales of equity securities sold during the period covered by this Report that were not previously included in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
On April 16, 2020, SEC ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading of BIXT is suspended for the period April 16 through April 29, 2020. As a result of the SEC ordered suspension the Company’s ten outstanding Convertible Notes went into default.
At May 26, 2021, the ten outstanding notes in default were returned to the Company in exchange for a 1-year 6% note with a principal of $1,000,000 by a Company affiliate. The net gain on the forgiveness, $1,020,323, was recorded as additional paid-in capital.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
On April 15, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a temporary order of trading suspension pertaining to the Company’s securities; See SEC Release 34-88656 (the “Suspension”). By its terms the Suspension terminated on April 29, 2020.
The Company’s stock was, at the time, quoted on the OTCQB. When an SEC trading suspension ends, a broker-dealer generally may not solicit investors to buy or sell the previously-suspended over-the-counter (“OTC”) stock until certain requirements are met. Our common stock is traded on OTC Markets “Expert Market” under the symbol BIXT.
On November 8, 2021, the last reported sale price of our common stock as reported on the OTC Markets “Expert Market” was $0.0025 per share; however, we have a limited trading market for our stock and there is no assurance that a trading market will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained. Consequently, a purchaser of our Common Stock may find it difficult to resell the securities offered herein should the purchaser desire to do so.
27
Before soliciting quotations or resuming quotations in an OTC stock that has been subject to a trading suspension, a broker-dealer must file a Form 211 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) representing that it has satisfied all applicable requirements, including those of Rule 15c2-11 and FINRA Rule 6432.
Among other things, Rule 15c2-11 requires broker-dealers to review and maintain certain documents and information about the company, including in certain cases:
1. | the company’s state of organization, business line, and names of certain control affiliates |
2. | the title and class of the securities outstanding; and |
3. | the company’s most recent balance sheet and its profit and loss and retained earnings statement. |
No broker-dealer may solicit or recommend that an investor buy an OTC stock that has been subject to a trading suspension unless and until FINRA has approved a Form 211 relating to the stock. If there are continuing regulatory concerns about the company, its disclosures, or other factors, such as a pending regulatory investigation, a Form 211 application may not be approved.
Following any approval by FINRA of any 211 filed by us, we will also have to apply with OTC Markets to have our stock quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX. There are no guarantees we will file a 211 or that any 211 we file will be approved by FINRA, nor are there any guarantees that even if we do file a 211 and it is approved by FINRA that OTC Markets will agree to allow our stock to be quoted via OTCQB or OTCQX.
However, limited or “unsolicited” trading can occur in an OTC stock that has been subject to a trading suspension after the suspension ends but before a Form 211 is approved. This may allow investors to trade the stock when a broker or adviser has not solicited or recommended such a transaction. Even though such trading is allowed, it can be very risky for investors without current and reliable information about the company.
We intend to apply for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Venture Market (“OTCQB”) operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. through a market maker; however, there can be no assurance that our common stock will ever be quoted on any quotation service. In order to be eligible for trading on the OTCQB we must a market maker file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to have our common stock quoted on the OTCQB and remain current in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In order to be eligible for the OTCQB we must have a minimum bid price of $0.01, have at least 50 beneficial stockholders, each owning at least 100 shares, have a freely traded public float of at least 10% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or qualify from an exemption thereof and pay initial listing fees.
On July 23, 2021, the Company’s S-1 was declared effective by the SEC, with the objective to raise funds for the continued clinical trials and to get the Company traded on the OTCQB exchange, in accordance with regulations as outlined by the SEC, as discussed in the above. We are currently working with Glendale Securities to prepare the necessary documentation for FINRA, with the objective to be re-listed on the OTCQB prior to year-end.
On July 15, 2021, Dr. Henry Esber resigned from the Board of Directors for health reasons. Dr. Esber was replaced by Dr. Hana Chen-Walden.
Dr.
Hana Chen-Walden, M.D. is an Endocrinologist and has specialized in regulatory affairs in the pharmaceutical industry
in the US and Europe. Dr. Chen-Walden has more than 35 years of regulatory experience with the EMEA and in individual European
countries. Since 2004 to present, Dr. Chen-Walden consulted for European Clinical and Regulatory Consultancy in medical monitoring,
quality assurance and regulatory input for clinical studies in the fields of oncology, cardiology, diabetes, neurology, respiratory
diseases and medical devices. Dr. Chen Walden received her Doctorate of Medicine from University of Tel Aviv, Israel. Dr. Chen-Walden
has practiced medicine in Germany and France. Our board of directors believes that Dr. Chen-Walden’s expertise and experience
in practicing medicine, her perspective, depth and background in medical monitoring and quality assurance, and her leadership
in regulatory affairs provide her with the qualifications and skills to serve on our board of directors.
