Deutsch Capital Announces Investment in Curemark
Dr. Joan Fallon, founder and CEO of Curemark, commented, “Autism is a significant unmet medical need and the treatment for the children is paramount. We are grateful to Mark and his investor group who quickly grasped the important issues surrounding autism and our drug candidate, CM-AT.”
Mark Deutsch, President of Deutsch Capital, said, “Having been in private equity for over 30 years, I’ve invested in many excellent companies across a wide range of industries. But never before have I had the opportunity to invest in a company that has the ability to help so many children throughout the world. Dr. Fallon has conducted groundbreaking research and I believe that CM-AT will become the standard of care for children with autism. We are extremely grateful that Curemark has chosen to work with Deutsch Capital and its large group of investors.”
