"We have been working closely with Ms. Walsh to complete our current round of funding and are pleased that she has accepted the position of CFO.  She brings extensive experience in accounting, finance and corporate strategy to Bone Biologics," noted William Jay Treat, Ph.D., President and Chief Technology Officer of the company.

Nell-1, a bone growth factor has been developed by Bone Biologics, Inc. in partnership with University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a more specific alternative to other bone growth factors used in health care today. In large animal studies, Nell-1 exhibited none of the side effects currently associated with other bone growth factors including ectopic bone growth, extraneous bone growth or cyst formation. The next phase will be completing the development and testing work needed to seek regulatory approval for the initial pilot study in human clinical trials.
