Most recently, Dr. Sprott served six years as President and CEO at Matheny Medical and Educational Center, which provides care and enhances the quality of life for individuals with special needs and medically complex developmental disabilities.

The Corporate Advisory Board provides guidance to Tevogen leadership as the company continues to expand its genetically unmodified precision T cell platform technology, which maintains the promise of affordable and convenient cell therapies for large patient populations by overcoming existing barriers of T cell-based therapeutic platforms.
"I am delighted to join this impassioned and highly skilled team whose guiding mission is to provide accessible life-saving immunotherapies to large patient populations," said Dr. Sprott. He continued, "It is particularly great to be joining Tevogen now, as it has invented what I call a leapfrog technology. The company's single HLA restricted, multiple target-specific and genetically unmodified cytotoxic CD8+ approach introduces high level precision and specificity avoiding unwanted corollary effects observed in other T cell immunotherapy platforms. It is one of those scientific advances that is quite remarkable in its simplicity."
"Dr. Sprott is the epitome of excellence in the health care practice, and I deeply admire his passion to limit suffering in children as well as his dedication to improving the lives of all people. His extensive, distinguished, and illustrious career speaks for itself, and I am honored to have him join Tevogen's Corporate Advisory Board," said Tevogen CEO Ryan Saadi, M.D., M.P.H.
Prior to serving six years as President and CEO of the acclaimed Matheny Medical and Educational Center, Dr. Sprott was a member of the faculty at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School for 30 years, beginning in 1984, and served as Senior Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs as well as Acting Chair of the Department of Pediatrics. Dr. Sprott was also Vice Chair and Director of Community Pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of New Jersey at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.
Dr. Sprott also served in the Department of Pediatrics at St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, NJ, Muhlenberg Hospital in Plainfield, NJ, and Children's Hospital of New Jersey. He was Chair of the Governor's Council of Children's Service Planning from July 1989 - May 1994 and was a recipient of the Thurgood Marshall Award for Excellence (2005), City News 100 Most Influential in New Jersey (1997), the Golden Apple Award for Teaching Excellence (1995), and the Child Advocacy Award from the National Black Child Development Institute (1990). He is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Rutgers Community Health Foundation, Life Camp, and Advocates for Children of New Jersey.
Dr. Sprott received a B.S. degree from Morehouse College in Atlanta, his M.D. from UMDNJ New Jersey Medical School (now Rutgers) and his J.D. degree from the Rutgers School of Law in Newark, NJ.
