Good afternoon. My name is Sumaria and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Athersys' Second Quarter 2018 Earnings Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.
