Exhibit 99.1

CohBar Reports Second Quarter 2021

Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Company to host conference call and webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET

MENLO PARK, Calif., August 10, 2021 – CohBar, Inc. (NASDAQ: CWBR), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing mitochondria based therapeutics to treat chronic diseases and extend healthy lifespan, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

“Our positive CB4211 topline data announcement today marks an important milestone in our path towards demonstrating the full potential of our novel therapeutic platform sourced from the mitochondrial genome,” stated Dr. Joseph Sarret, Chief Executive Officer. “In parallel with our ongoing analysis of the promising data from the CB4211 study, we are diligently working to enable CB5138-3 to enter the clinic next year for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This is an exciting time for the company as we look forward to continued progress in the development of product candidates designed to address serious unmet medical needs.”

Second Quarter 2021 and Recent Highlights

· Announced Positive Topline Data from the Phase 1a/1b Study of CB4211 Being Developed for the Treatment of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and Obesity: Today, the company announced topline results from the multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1a/1b clinical study of CB4211, under development for NASH and obesity. The study met its primary endpoints as CB4211 was well-tolerated and appeared safe with no serious adverse events. The evaluation of the exploratory endpoints showed robust and statistically significant improvements in key biomarkers of liver damage, ALT and AST, and in glucose levels in the CB4211 group compared to placebo. There was a trend towards lower body weight in the CB4211 group after four weeks of treatment.

· Appointed Joseph J. Sarret, M.D., J.D. as Chief Executive Officer and Director: In April, the company announced the appointment of Joseph J. Sarret, M.D., J.D. as Chief Executive Officer and Director. Dr. Sarret is a seasoned executive with a track record of success in biotechnology.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

· Cash and Investments: CohBar had cash and investments of $13.8 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $21 million as of December 31, 2020. The cash burn for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, was approximately $4.6 million.

· R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.5 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to the investment in the company’s research programs focused on the continued development of its peptides, and an increase in clinical trial costs due to the timing of those expenses, partially offset by a decrease in stock based compensations costs.

· G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year quarter.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher compensation and stock-based compensation costs and increased D&O insurance premiums.  

· Net Loss: For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net loss, which included $1.0 million of non-cash expenses, was $5.2 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net loss, which included $1.8 million of non-cash expenses, was $4.1 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share.

CohBar Announces Positive Topline Results from the Phase 1a/1b Study of CB4211 Under

Development for NASH and Obesity

● CB4211 was well-tolerated and appeared safe with no serious adverse events

● Robust reductions in ALT and AST

● Reduction in glucose and trend towards body weight reduction

● Company to host conference call and webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET

MENLO PARK, Calif., August 10, 2021 – CohBar, Inc. (NASDAQ: CWBR), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing mitochondria based therapeutics to treat chronic diseases and extend healthy lifespan, today announced topline results from the multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1a/1b clinical study of CB4211, under development for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and obesity. The study met its primary endpoint showing that CB4211 was well-tolerated and appeared safe with no serious adverse events. Evaluation of the exploratory pharmacodynamic endpoints from the Phase 1b stage of the study comparing CB4211 to placebo demonstrated robust and significant reductions in key biomarkers of liver damage, ALT and AST, a significant decrease in glucose levels, and a trend towards lower body weight after four weeks of treatment. Both the CB4211 and placebo groups had substantial reductions in liver fat content compared to baseline.

Key findings from the topline data of the Phase 1b portion of the study are summarized below.

Biomarker	CB4211 (25 mg) (n = 11)			Placebo (n = 9)			Difference from Placebo
ALT (% reduction from baseline)		-21	%		4	%		-25	*
Proportion of subjects with >17 U/L decrease in ALT(1)		27	%		11	%		16	%
AST (% reduction from baseline)		-28	%		-11	%		-17	%*
Glucose (% reduction from baseline)		-6	%		0	%		-6	%*

ALT: Alanine aminotransferase. AST: Aspartate aminotransferase.

* Statistically significant versus placebo, p<0.05 by unpaired t test

(1) A decrease in ALT by 17 U/L or more is significantly associated with histologic response in NASH (Loomba R et al. Gastroenterology, 2019; 156 (1): 88-95)

MRI-PDFF Data	CB4211 (25 mg) (n = 11)			Placebo (n = 9)
Baseline Liver Fat Content (LFC)		21.1	%		15.9	%
Percent Reduction in LFC (Absolute)		-5.03	%		-4.88	%
Proportion of Responders Achieving >30% Relative Reduction in LFC		36	%		33	%

MRI-PDFF: Magnetic resonance imaging – proton density fat fraction.

“The results from the Phase 1b CB4211 study are promising,” stated Dr. Rohit Loomba, MD, MHSc, Professor of Medicine, Director, NAFLD Research Center, and Director of Hepatology, University of California at San Diego. “Demonstrating significant reductions of this magnitude in both serum ALT and AST relative to placebo after only four weeks suggests a potential for improvement in liver health if we continue to see further improvements over a longer period of time in patients with NASH. Improvements in serum ALT and AST are key predictors of histologic response independent of liver fat change; CB4211 shows great promise as a potential candidate for further development in NASH for this growing epidemic of silent and progressive liver disease.”

The results from both portions of the study indicate that CB4211 was well-tolerated and appeared safe with no serious adverse events. The only adverse events occurring in >10% of subjects receiving CB4211 in the four-week Phase 1b portion of the study were transient and generally mild to moderate injection site reactions.

“We are pleased with the positive outcome of our first human trial of CB4211 and look forward to working with disease experts to explore the next steps for our CB4211 program,” stated Dr. Joseph Sarret, CohBar’s Chief Executive Officer. “These impressive results validate our novel approach of using the mitochondrial genome as a valuable source of potential therapeutic peptides to treat serious systemic diseases.”

The Phase 1a stage of the study was a double blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose assessment of safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics over one week in 65 healthy adults, to select the most appropriate dose for the Phase 1b stage. The Phase 1b study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of a 25 mg dose of CB4211 given once daily by subcutaneous injection for four weeks in 20 obese subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The primary endpoints were safety and tolerability, with a secondary endpoint of pharmacokinetics, and exploratory endpoints of changes in liver fat, body weight, and biomarkers relevant to NASH, obesity, and metabolic disease. Subjects were required to have a minimum of 10% liver fat at enrollment, and to stay in the clinical study unit during the four weeks of treatment. This study was conducted at four sites.

CB4211 is the first mitochondria based therapeutic to enter clinical testing. Mitochondria based therapeutics are an emerging class of drugs based on novel analogs of peptide sequences discovered by CohBar scientists in the mitochondrial genome, some of which have been shown to have the potential to regulate key processes in multiple systems and organs in the body.

The company is continuing to analyze the data and plans to present additional results and analyses at a future scientific meeting.

SUBCUTANEOUS ADIPOSE TISSUE SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION PORTAL VEIN VISCERAL ADIPOSE TISSUE Splanchnic FFA Delivery HEPATOCYTE Targeting Free Fatty Acid Release from Fat Cells Inhibition/Regulation of Lipolysis • NALFD: excess free fatty acid released from abdominal fat cells by lipolysis - flows directly to the liver • Excess fatty acid in liver leads to NASH: liver fat deposits, inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and ultimately liver cancer • Inhibiting lipolysis reduces fatty acid release CB4211: Novel Mechanism of Action Relevant to NASH Source: Nutrients 2015,7, 9453 – 9474 Molecular Mechanism – Enhances Insulin Signaling Regulation of Insulin Signaling • Insulin receptor and insulin signaling play a central role in metabolic regulation • CB4211 enhances the action of insulin in vitro: • Inhibits lipolysis in fat cells (adipocytes) • Decreases free fatty acid release to liver • Decreases glucose production by liver cells • Increases glucose consumption by muscle cells. • Molecular mechanism of action presented at ADA in June 2018: CB4211 is a Potential Treatment for Metabolic Diseases with Novel Mechanism of Action: Sensitization of the Insulin Receptor • Further evidence that some MDP’s are important regulators of key metabolic pathways in the body 7

NASDAQ: CWBR A Phase 1a/1b Study of Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of CB4211 in Healthy Non - obese Subjects and Subjects with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Topline Data

CB4211 Phase 1a: Study Design and Subject Disposition Phase 1a Study Design • Randomized, double - blind, placebo - controlled study • 6 cohorts of Single Ascending Dose (SAD) and 3 cohorts Multiple (7 - day) Ascending Dose (MAD) • Healthy adult volunteers (up to 8 per cohort) randomized (3:1) to CB4211 versus placebo Phase 1a Subject Disposition • 65 healthy subjects enrolled and randomized to CB4211 or placebo • Initially enrolled four single ascending dose (SAD) and one multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohort • Persistent local deposition of drug at injection site led to interruption of study to modify formulation • Additional cohorts (two SAD and two MAD) completed with modified formulation • No subjects discontinued treatment 9

CB4211 Phase 1b: Study Design CB4211 (25 mg QD SC) (n = 11) Placebo (n = 9) Baseline Week 4 Primary Endpoints: • Safety and tolerability Secondary Endpoint: • Pharmacokinetics Exploratory Endpoints: • Liver fat content (MRI - PDFF) • Body weight • Biomarkers of NASH and metabolic disease Screening • 18 to 60 years of age • BMI ≥30.0 kg/m 2 • Body weight ≤115 kg • Liver fat >10% (MRI - PDFF) • Various other entry criteria* • Four clinical sites in US Randomized, Double - blind, Placebo - controlled Study *Inclusion criteria also included history of Fatty Liver Index (FLI) score >60, FLI score >60 at Screening, or documented his tor y of fatty liver with imaging results ( eg , standard positive ultrasound or Fibroscan controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) >300 decibels (dB)/m) indicating liver fat >10% within 6 months of Screening. For furt he r details see Clinicaltrial.gov record NCT03998514. Subjects were confined for the duration of the study and provided a standardized diet based on baseline energy expenditure 10

CB4211 Phase 1b: Subject Disposition Phase 1b • 23 obese subjects with NAFLD were enrolled and randomized (1:1) to receive CB4211 or placebo • 3 subjects discontinued treatment before final assessment: 2 for COVID - 19, one withdrew consent • 20 subjects completed end of treatment PD assessments • Final distribution was 11 on CB4211 and 9 on placebo 11

Phase 1b Results: Changes in Key PD Biomarkers (Day 28) Biomarker CB4211 (25 mg) (n = 11) Placebo (n = 9) Difference from Placebo ALT (% reduction from baseline) - 21% 4% - 25%* Proportion of subjects with >17 U/L decrease in ALT (1) 27% 11% 16% AST (% reduction from baseline) - 28% - 11% - 17%* Glucose (% reduction from baseline) - 6% 0% - 6%* *Statistically significant difference, p<0.05 vs. placebo. Data are least square means. (1) A decrease in ALT by 17 U/L or more is significantly associated with histologic response in NASH. (Loomba R et al. Gastroente rol ogy 2019,156:88 - 95) 12

Phase 1b Results: CB4211 Significantly Reduced ALT and AST Percent Change from Baseline in ALT CB4211 reduced ALT by 21% and AST by 28% at Week 4 0 1 2 3 4 -40% -30% -20% -10% 0% 10% Percent Change from Baseline in AST Weeks C h a n g e i n A S T * Placebo CB4211 Percent Change from Baseline in AST *Statistically significant, p<0.05 vs. placebo Data are mean +/ - SEM 0 1 2 3 4 -40% -30% -20% -10% 0% 10% 20% Percent Change from Baseline in ALT Weeks C h a n g e i n A L T Placebo CB4211 * * # 13

Phase 1b Results: ALT Response Predictive of NASH Resolution Proportion of Subjects with >17 U/L Decrease in ALT (1) Placebo CB4211 0% 10% 20% 30% Proportion >17 decALT 11% 27% (1) A decrease in ALT by 17 U/L or more is significantly associated with histologic response in NASH. (Loomba R et al. Gastro ent erology 2019,156:88 - 95) ALT reduction in subjects on CB4211 was predictive of a positive NASH response 14

Phase 1b Results: Comparison to Historical ALT Data for 4 - Week Studies (1) CB4211 reduced ALT as much or more than other NASH candidates Parameter CB4211 (CohBar) (25 mg) (SC injection) MET409 ( Metacrine ) (50 mg) (oral) DUR - 928 ( Durect ) (300 mg) (IV injection) CRV43 ( Hepion ) (225 mg) (oral) Ocaliva (Intercept) (50 mg) (oral) Resmetirom (Madrigal) (100 mg) (oral) Semaglutide (Novo - Nordisk) (0.4 mg) (2) (SC injection) # of Subjects 11 10 20 15 21 25 102 % Reduction in ALT at Week 4 - 21.0% - 16.5 - 17% - 21.1% Increased at Week 6 - 21% at Week 12 - 13% at Week 4 of 52 Weeks Placebo Adjusted % Reduction in ALT - 25.5% No placebo arm No placebo arm - 15.0% N/A - 13.3% at Week 12 - 13% at Week 4 of 52 Weeks (1) All data regarding third - party studies on this slide are based on public information from third - party studies in different s tages of development, and not our own. Conclusions on this slide are not based on head - to - head results. (2) Data extracted from reports for Week 4 time point in a 52 - week study. Currently in Phase 3 15

Phase 1b Results: CB4211 Reduced Fasting Glucose Levels Percent Change from Baseline in Glucose CB4211 reduced fasting glucose by 6% at Week 4 0 1 2 3 4 -10% -5% 0% 5% Percent Change from Baseline in Glucose Weeks C h a n g e i n G l u c o s e # Placebo CB4211 Data are mean +/ - SEM. *Statistically significant, p<0.05 vs. placebo. Percent Change from Baseline in Glucose CB4211 reduced fasting glucose by 6% at Week 4 Change in Body Weight Percent Change from Baseline in Body Weight CB4211 showed trend to reduced body weight 16

Phase 1b Results: Change from Baseline in Liver Fat Content (MRI - PDFF) Percent Absolute Reduction in LFC Placebo CB4211 -10% -8% -6% -4% -2% 0% -4.88% -5.03% Reduction in absolute LFC at Week 4 for CB4211 was comparable to other NASH candidates. However, liver fat content was also reduced in placebo arm - possibly the result of confinement for 4 weeks on a controlled diet Proportion achieving ≥ 30% Relative LFC Reduction* 17 *A relative reduction of 30% in liver fat is associated with a histological response in non - alcoholic steatohepatitis (Patel J e t al. Therap Adv Gastroenterol 2016, 9(5): 692 - 701)

Phase 1a/1b Topline Safety Data: Positive Primary Outcome Positive Results for Primary Outcome: Safety and Tolerability • CB4211 was well - tolerated and appeared safe with no serious adverse events • All adverse events were transient and generally mild to moderate • AEs occurring in >10% of subjects treated with CB4211: • Injection site reactions: CB4211 (79%) vs Placebo (33%) 18 Secondary Outcome: Pharmacokinetics – Data pending

Phase 1b Topline Activity Data: Positive Exploratory Outcomes Positive Results from Exploratory Trend Analysis at 4 Weeks • Robust and significant reductions in ALT, AST versus placebo • ALT reduction favorable vs other NASH candidates in 4 - week studies • ALT reduction predictive of potential benefit in NASH resolution • Significant reduction in glucose – suggests improvement in metabolic homeostasis • Trend towards lower body weight – corroborating the preclinical results • Liver fat content was reduced substantially in both active and placebo arms • Additional analysis of biomarker data is planned These positive topline data support the further development of CB4211 for NASH CohBar plans to present additional data from this study at an upcoming scientific meeting 19
