Good afternoon. My name is name Julian, and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Athersys First Quarter 2019 Results 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.
