Neurotech forms Scientific Advisory Board

Perth, Australia & Malta – 20 December 2016 – Developer of quality medical solutions in the neuroscience space, Neurotech International Limited (ASX: NTI), has finalised the appointment of its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).
The SAB will act as strategic counsel to Neurotech, guiding company management as it enters the market with its Mente Autism device, in addition to the development of other devices targeting various neurological disorders.
The SAB is comprised of:

• Prof Paolo Cavallari – Professor of Human Physiology, University of Milan
• Prof Denis Azzopardi – Professor of Neonatal Medicine, Kings College, UK
• Dr David S Cantor – Former President of the EEG and Clinical Neuroscience Society, USA
• Dr Anton Grech – Senior Research Fellow, Bedfordshire Centre for Mental Health Research

Full biographies for each member of the SAB are available below.
Neurotech’s Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Dr Adrian Attard Trevisan will act as moderator/chair to the SAB, with Dr Marco Rotonda, the company’s Senior Neuroscientist, filling the role of board secretary.

“As a company we are very excited to have the input of such a high calibre group of individuals in the neuroscience space,” said Dr Attard Trevisan.
“To attract such talent onto our Scientific Advisory Board is excellent validation of Neurotech, its technology and direction.”

The SAB will convene once per quarter with each member requiring re-election every calendar year. Additional members may be added in the future, with a view to having exposure within other geographies.
The key deliverable expected of the SAB is a ‘Company Vision Document’, which will be delivered to the Board of Neurotech in the final quarter of each calendar year.


“We have assembled a team for our Scientific Advisory Board with wide-ranging, high quality experience relevant to Neurotech’s business activities and objectives, and reflective of the jurisdictions the company is targeting in the immediate to medium term,” Neurotech’s CEO Wolfgang Storf said.

“The aim and functions of the Scientific Advisory Board are extremely important to Neurotech, and we expect it will act as a key decision maker for the company’s scientific and technological vision.”


Biographies

Prof Paolo Cavallari, MD PhD
Paolo Cavallari is Professor of Human Physiology (2001) at the Medical School of the Università degli
Studi in Milan, Italy. Prof Cavallari received his MD (magna cum laude) from the University of Milan in
1982, a Diplome d’Etudes Appofondies in Neurophysiology from the Pierre et Marie Curie University
of Paris in 1984, a Doctorat de l'Université from the same university in 1988 and a PhD in Neurological
Science from the University of Milan in 1990. He received fellowships from the European Neuroscience
Association (1984) and from the IBRO-Wenner-Gren Foundation (1986). He had non-tenure track
positions from the INSERM (France, 1985) and the Göteborg University (Sweden, 1987), and tenured
as Associate Professor of Human Physiology in 1992 at the Università degli Studi of L'Aquila (1992-
1997), and at Università degli Studi (1997-2001).

Prof Denis Azzopardi, MD PhD
Denis Azzopardi is Professor of Neonatal Medicine at Kings College, London. For many years he has
been involved in clinical research in the investigation, assessment and treatment of neonatal
encephalopathy, having developed and implemented the first proven therapy to reduce severe brain
damage and improve survival after birth asphyxia. In developing this therapy, magnetic resonance
spectroscopy was used to demonstrate birth asphyxia in newborn infants leads to delayed brain injury,
and that there is a ‘lucid period’ when neuroprotective treatments could potentially be applied. This
in turn led to the now standard practice of cooling infants below normal body temperature as the
standard practice for those suffering from oxygen deprivation during birth in the United Kingdom (UK).
Estimates suggest that this treatment has saved the UK over £100 million in the costs of caring for
people affected by birth asphyxia, and is now implemented across the world.

Dr David S Cantor, PhD
Dr David Cantor received his Bachelor’s Degree with Distinction in Psychology from the University of
Connecticut. His honours work was in the field of neurophysiological correlates of cross modal
integration processes in attention deficit disorders. He received his Masters and Doctorate in
psychology at the State University of New York (Stony Brook), where his thesis was focussed on
quantitative EEG correlates of autism. He most recently received his Postdoctoral Masters of Science
in Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh University.
Dr Cantor is a Fellow with the American College of Forensic Examiners, National Academy of
Neuropsychology, and the Academy of Learning and Developmental Disorders. He is also Former
President of the EEG and Clinical Neuroscience Society and has also been accepted for special
fellowships including Congressional Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the State of
New York Intercampus Fellow in the area of brain research.
