Based on the clinical observations of broad organ function enhancements, this therapy has the potential to have a tangible positive impact on patients’ quality of life while also providing meaningful economic benefits for the global healthcare system. We are grateful to the SCS team and our talented advisors for their support throughout this process, and excited to begin our next phase of growth and advancement as a public company," Tim Bertram, ProKidney Founder and CEO.
