Premier Biomedical, publicly traded as BIEI, at its peak a $26.1M company, developed treatments for Cancer & Brain Injury through high profile partnerships with the US Army and the University of Texas.The company's most significant achievement to date has been the development of a drug that resulted in a 100% survival rate for mice with breast cancer vs. a 70% survival rate for mice exposed to chemotherapy in a preclinical study at the University of Texas. Significantly, tumors shrunk and mice gained weight when exposed to Premier Biomedical, Inc.'s non-toxic immune system manipulation treatment; whereas, tumors increased in volume and mice lost weight as a result of chemotherapy.Finance Work:• Raised $600,000 in total through Direct Investment & PPMs’s and navigated through legal bureaucracy to become publicly traded• Explored financing options with Venture Capital Firms and engaged with over 200 interested investorsMarketing:• Developed Website• Drafted Press ReleasesIntellectual Property & Development Work:• Planned general strategy of company on day to day basis• Coordinated creation of Intellectual Property• Managed team of 7 Ph.D. students in the technical analysis of novel immunotherapy cancer treatments
