COVID-19 STATEMENT

 

The Company is carefully monitoring the effects the COVID-19 global pandemic is having on its operations.  Currently, the main potential effect is the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to raising capital.  Based on the nature of our operations, employees are able to work remotely with access to teleconferencing and video conferencing.  The research partners utilized by the Company are currently providing services as requested, although some University researchers have limited availability as their campuses have closed down, with the expectation they will reopen sometime in April 2020.  However, the Company cannot make any assurances the research partners will open as expected and perform at the levels as required until the COVID-19 situation is resolved. Other contract research organizations have remained open and accessible, although some resources have delayed response effectiveness.
