Q Therapeutics Inactive

Q Therapeutics Inc. (hereinafter Q Therapeutics, Q, we, us, our and similar expressions) is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based biopharmaceutical company that is developing human cell-based therapies that can be sold as “off-the-shelf” pharmaceuticals intended to treat neurodegenerative diseases of the brain and spinal cord, the primary components of the central nervous system or CNS. The technology upon which these potential therapies are based was developed by Q’s co-founder Mahendra Rao, M.D., Ph.D., a leader in glial stem cell biology, during Dr. Rao’s tenure as a Professor at the University of Utah and as Head of the Stem Cell Section in the Laboratory of Neuroscience at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institute of Aging. Dr. Rao was one of the first scientists to identify and seek patent coverage on stem cells and their progeny cells found in the CNS.
