Electromedical Technologies, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of a Phase 1 research program in collaboration with Nazarbayev University to identify the most effective electrical frequencies for driving physiological responses in animal models.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electromedical Technologies, Inc. (OTC: EMED) (the “Company” or “Electromedical Technologies”), a pioneer in the development and manufacturing of bioelectronic devices designed to relieve chronic, intractable and acute pains by using frequencies and electro-modulation, is pleased to announce the launch of a Phase 1 research program in collaboration with Nazarbayev University to identify the most effective electrical frequencies for driving physiological responses in animal models.
Matthew Wolfson, Founder and CEO of Electromedical Technologies, explained, “We will be tapping into the revolutionary potential of electro-modulation with this Phase 1 study. The core objective is deciphering the physiological impact of a wide range of electrical frequencies in animal models. Explicit animal research will be instrumental in validating effective electrical frequencies. Our unique research program will establish a platform for enhancing electro-modulation.”
Management notes that the Company’s investment in this animal research program will advance the science of electro-modulation and accelerate the development of its applications in healthcare. Building a strong scientific foundation today will enable powerful advances in the technology of electro-modulation in the near future.
The Company’s research team is being led by Professor Dos D. Sarbassov, a renowned expert in cell signaling with intensive postdoctoral research training at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (MIT). Dr. Sarbassov also worked for many years as Faculty of the Molecular and Cellular Oncology Department at MD Anderson Cancer Center (widely viewed one of the foremost oncology centers in the US). In 2019, Dr. Sarbassov joined Nazarbayev University to develop a cutting-edge biomedical research program.
“Our studies of electro-modulation are in a process of transition from a simplified cell culture to the animal model system,” commented Dr. Sarbassov. “A key question is to determine if changes in cell signaling induced by specific alternating electrical fields will be sufficient to lead to physiological changes in organism. We will study effects of electro-modulation on the insulin-dependent glucose uptake, pro-inflammatory or stress-dependent cytokine secretion, hypertension, tumor growth and viral infection in mammalian animal models. Regulation of the physiological responses by electro-modulation will provide a leverage for corrections of disease related physiological defects. The proposed Stage I studies in the animal models will place a foundation for clinical applications of electro-modulation in the Stage II of our research and development program in collaboration with Electromedical Technologies. Our research work by opening the door for electro-modulation in healthcare will contribute substantially to a precision medicine of tomorrow.”
About Nazarbayev University:
Nazarbayev University (NU), established on the initiative of the first President of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2010, is the country’s flagship academic institution with aspirations to become a global-level research university. This is the first university in Kazakhstan which is guided by the principles of autonomy and academic freedom.
