On February 8, 2021, Abba David Poliakoff informed the Board of Directors of Champions Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of his intention to resign as a director of the Company effective immediately.

Mr. Brainin has over 15 years of experience in the global life sciences and healthcare fields.
