QuantRx Biomedical Announces Board of Directors Updates

QuantRx® Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB:QTXB), an emerging leader in the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic products based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide point-of-care healthcare industry, today announced the appointment of two new independent directors to its Board of Directors; one of the appointments is a replacement for the seat vacated by Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr., M.D., who died earlier this year.

“We mourn the passing of Arthur, who had served as a Director of QuantRx since September 2006,” said Walter Witoshkin, Chairman and CEO of QuantRx. “Arthur will be remembered for his superb guidance and valuable contributions. Since joining our Board at the early stages of development, we have made considerable progress. He understood our vision and we only wish he could have lived to see the completion of the formative developments that should make 2010 our most important year of maturation. With these changes underway and the commercialization of new products setting the pace for an exciting future, we are pleased to have appointed Robert G. Pinco and Patrick T. Mooney, MD to our Board of Directors. We look forward to benefiting from their substantial industry and corporate experience.”

The two new independent Board of Directors announced today are Robert G. Pinco and Patrick T. Mooney, MD. Collectively, these individuals bring to QuantRx extensive executive level industry, capital markets, and regulatory experience with specific concentrations in healthcare and biotechnology. In addition to Messrs. Pinco and Mooney, QuantRx Board of Directors includes Walter Witoshkin, QuantRx Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. William H. Fleming, QuantRx Chief Scientific Officer, and Shalom Hirschman, M.D. The Company now has a total of 5 members of its Board of Directors, three of whom are independent.

Robert G. Pinco’s expertise combines a wealth of FDA, corporate securities, intellectual property, and venture capital knowledge relating to the worldwide medical device markets. He is Senior Counsel and former Head of the Biomedical/Food and Drug Group at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, a prominent international law and government relations firm. He represents worldwide brand-name and prominent technology companies, counseling on regulatory matters, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issues. Mr. Pinco also focuses on combining his FDA knowledge with the corporate securities, intellectual property and venture capital capabilities of Buchanan Ingersoll to assist in the creation and development of pharmaceutical and medical device companies in the U.S., Europe and the Pacific Rim.

His previous experience includes positions at the White House, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the FDA, and the U.S. Attorney's Office. Mr. Pinco is a former director of the Over-the-Counter Drug Review of the FDA. In that position, he directed a massive review of more than 400,000 nonprescription drugs, the largest, most complex project ever undertaken by that agency. Mr. Pinco has been honored with Board-level appointments to numerous industry associations and academic institutions. He received a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, and a B.S. in pharmacy from University of Connecticut.

Patrick T. Mooney, MD, is Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Echo Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB:ECTE). Dr. Mooney joined Echo in September 2007 as a result of the merger of Sontra Medical Corporation and then privately-held Echo Therapeutics, Inc. (ETI), for which he served as President, Chief Executive Officer and director from September 2006 through the date of the merger. Prior to joining ETI, Dr. Mooney was President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Aphton Corporation (Nasdaq:APHT), where he had also served as Chief Medical Officer.
