Live Radio Interview Recap Michael Yorba DFW1190AM

NEW YORK, NY–(Dec 9, 2013) –  NeoStem, Inc. (NASDAQ: NBS) (“NeoStem”), a leader in the emerging cellular therapy industry, today announced that Dr. Robin L. Smith, Chairman and CEO, was interviewed live on Clear Channel’s “the Traders Network” DFW 1190AM hosted by Michael Yorba. The interview focused on explaining how NeoStem’s cell therapy product candidates work and what it means to the marketplace.

 

Dr. Smith went on talk about how there is a paradigm shift in medicine, using the cells of our bodies to treat disease and NeoStem’s leadership position in the industry. She said, “We have our own pipeline of products being developed to treat diseases, as well as manufacture cells for other companies to do the same.” NeoStem has seen Phase 1 results and is close to completing enrollment for a Phase 2 clinical trial.

When asked about NeoStem’s product candidates she said, “Our lead product candidate is in the cardiovascular space, treating patients after a heart attack to try to prevent the worsening of the heart muscle after the heart attack,” she explained. “Because if you are over the age of 45, 1 in 5 people will die within the year after the heart attack.”

 

Michael Yorba went on to ask how many people she thought could benefit from NeoStem’s product candidate, and she said over 10 million people have acute heart attacks, and over 22 million have congestive heart failure.

 

NeoStem was built through acquisition, obtaining key assets that allow them to be a leader in this emerging industry. The Company has raised over $180 million in the capital markets. They have been ranked number 1 for the second year running in the tri-state area in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list of fastest growing technology companies. Dr. Smith said, “It’s really exciting to be recognized in the industry among our peers. We feel really privileged.”
