-Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry at Rutgers University
-PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science
-Postdoctoral scientist- Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Professor Kohn is currently doing research using SVFC's Intellicell process. This is being done at Rutgers University's New Jersey Center for Biomaterials in development. The goal is to develop projects that may lead to bioengineered products containing the proprietary IntelliCell cellular population and products under development at the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials.
Professor Kohn states:
"This is a truly exciting opportunity for us. We have a number of highly advanced scaffolds for regenerative therapies (e.g. re-growing bone, nerve, and skin), and we expect that IntelliCell's cell populations will significantly enhance the effectiveness of our biomaterials-based scaffolds. In this collaborative research project, we are combining the outstanding cell biology expertise of IntelliCell with the expertise of our chemists and materials scientists. We believe that through this collaboration, we will be able to demonstrate the merits of interdisciplinary research efforts between industry and academia. In addition, emerging companies like IntelliCell are the main driving force for health care innovation, and we are delighted to assist such companies with technologies under development."
THE IMPORTANT THING HERE IS THIS: DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PRODUCTS USING INTELLICELL. Even MORE opportunity than thought!!
Currently, four companies develop medical products based on Kohn's technologies and, to-date, about 30,000 patients benefit from these products.
