“We are so happy to bring BrainStorm’s common stock to NASDAQ. This is an important step in BrainStorm’s corporate development. The uplisting of the common stock to a national securities exchange should enhance the awareness of the important work BrainStorm is doing with adult stem cell technologies in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases,” said Tony Fiorino, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm.
