Distinguished Scientific and Public Health
Leaders to Join Enochian BioSciences' Scientific Advisory Board for Potential Inhaled Treatment and Prevention of All COVID-19
and Influenza Variants
LOS ANGELES, August 30, 2021 (NASDAQ: ENOB) - Enochian
BioSciences, a company focused on gene-modified cellular and immune therapies for infectious diseases and cancer, announced the
appointment of internationally renowned scientists and public health leaders to a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) focused on potential
inhaled treatment and prevention of any current or future variants of SARS-CoV-2 - the virus that causes COVID-19 -
| Dr. Peter Pio t , KCMG, FRCP, FMedSci, Chairperson of the SAB, is the Handa Professor of Global Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, former founding Director of UNAIDS and co-discoverer of the Ebola virus. He is also a member of the US National Academy of Medicine. | ||
| Dr. Richard Whitley, MD , Distinguished Professor, University of Alabama Birmingham, is a leading basic and clinical researcher who has published more than 380 scientific articles. |
"I have been working on pandemics for nearly 50 years, and
was blown away by the genius of the inventor, Dr. Serhat Gumruk u, and the sophistication and elegance of the scientific
approach to potentially treat and prevent any variants of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza," said Dr. Piot. "If the impressive
results in animal models are confirmed in people, there is the potential to contribute significantly to fighting COVID-19. Perhaps
as important, it is possible that Enochian's products could prevent future pandemic threats from corona- and influenza viruses."
"I am excited to be involved with Enochian BioSciences as
they try to move quickly to advance products that could potentially be important to control and, ultimately end, the COVID-19 pandemic,"
Dr. Whitley said. "The Delta variant reproduces so quickly that even vaccinated people with no symptoms can have as much
virus in their airways as unvaccinated people, contributing to rapid spread. Enochian's unique and innovative approach to
kill cells infected with the virus in the nose, mouth and lungs could potentially both limit illness but also spread for a win-win."
Dr. Mark Dybul, Enochian's CEO said, "We are thrilled
that some of the top experts in the world seem as excited as we are about the potential for our products to play a key role in
combating COVID-19, but also the potential for them to help prevent two of the greatest pandemic threats for the future -
Influenza and another Coronavirus. The experience and knowledge the SAB brings will help accelerate Enochian's efforts to
advance the research and, we hope, ultimately to save lives."
