About Us

About Qrons

Founded in 2016, Qrons is a publicly traded, preclinical biotechnology company, developing advanced cell-based solutions to combat neurological injuries. While we are laser-focused on traumatic brain injury (TBI), our technology could potentially treat a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases.

Our TBI treatment integrates proprietary, engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), 3D printable scaffolding, smart materials and a novel delivery system.

We believe this combination will reduce neuronal loss and functional impairment and possibly regenerate brain tissue and function for TBI patients.

About – TBI challenges

Our Multidisciplinary Team

TBI presents many complex challenges. To overcome these, Qrons has developed a coordinated group of product-oriented research teams.

Each team leverages different skill sets to tackle different challenges. This multidisciplinary approach is designed to produce a revolutionary TBI treatment.

Our Team

Qrons’ co-founders, Jonah Meer and Ido Merfeld, believe it’s time to upend the traditional approach to developing new treatments. The two have a long history of bringing disruptive ideas into well-established sectors. Their collaborative mindset fuels Qrons’ efforts to solve TBI and other neuronal conditions.

By combining stellar scientists with innovative business people, Qrons is redesigning how scientific teams come together to find solutions. This unique approach seeks to create the best possible treatments in the least possible time.
