CohBar, Inc. (“CohBar” or the “Company”) is an innovative biotechnology company and a leader in the research and development of mitochondria based therapeutics (MBTs), an emerging class of drugs with the potential to treat a wide range of diseases associated with aging and metabolic dysfunction, including obesity, fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), cancer, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
The Company’s primary activities include research and development of its MBT pipeline, securing intellectual property protection, managing collaborations with contract research organizations (“CROs”) and academic institutions and raising capital. To date, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations and does not expect to generate any revenues in the near future. The Company has financed its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of its equity securities, including its initial public offering (“IPO”), private placements and the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options.
