TEL AVIV, Israel, August 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Cellect Biotechnology Ltd. (NASDAQ: APOP, TASE: APOP), a developer of stem cell selection technology, announced today that Locust Walk was engaged to seek strategic licensing deals and global pharma partnerships in order to kick-start the commercialization of Cellect's ApoGraft as an innovative platform for stem cells selection for all indications and from all sources of cells. Among others, the Company believes this platform is expected to become a major cornerstone development tool for both pharma companies and medical research centers through licensing of Cellect's IP.

Locust Walk's mandate is to identify relevant licensors and assist Cellect in closing potential licensing deals and strategic business collaborations with pharma and medical device companies as well as research and clinical centers that may potentially result in licensing of AppoGraft for stem cells based therapeutics R&D purposes.

Cellect's ApoGraft technology can be utilized immediately to help thousands of research centers globally engage in adult stem cells based therapeutics by providing them with a simplified and cost efficient method to isolate stem cells for use as a raw material for a wide range of stem cells based therapeutics. Before Cellect's ApoGraft, such procedures were extremely complex, inefficient and required substantial resources in both cost, time and infrastructure. ApoGraft will be used to significantly advance the use of stem cells across multiple therapeutic indications as well as research and biobanking purposes.

Cellect's CEO, Dr. Shai Yarkoni commented, "Similar to the successful collaboration Cellect has with Entegris (NASDAQ: ENTG), we intend to secure our capabilities to supply all of the players in the stem cell field with the capabilities to produce and sell stem cell based medical products for a multi-billion dollar market. Cellect intends to become a major player in this fast growing field and therefore we are committed to a global scale campaign for business development with our new partner - Locust Walk."

Cellect chairman, Mr. Nuriel Chirich Kasbian stated, "After years of work, we are close to realizing the first commercial applications of ApoGraft. We chose Locust Walk to help us unlock the value of ApoGraft for both medical research companies and shareholders."
