About Champions Biotechnology, Inc. Champions Biotechnology,
Inc. is engaged in the development of advanced preclinical
platforms and predictive tumor specific data to enhance and
accelerate the value of oncology drugs. The Company’s
Preclinical Platform is a novel approach based upon the
implantation of primary human tumors in immune deficient mice
followed by propagation of the resulting xenografts (Biomerk
Tumorgrafts™) in a manner that preserves the biological
characteristics of the original human tumor. The Company
believes that these Tumorgrafts closely reflect human cancer
biology and their response to drugs is more predictive of clinical
outcomes in cancer patients.

development tools, accelerating development and valuation of
oncology drugs, and advancing personalized treatment with a goal to
improve the lives of cancer patients globally.
