<P style="font-size: 10pt" align="center"><B>POWER OF ATTORNEY</B>

<P style="text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt" align="left">Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby
constitutes and appoints Patrick&nbsp;L. Keran and Brian&nbsp;M. Culley, acting alone or together, the
undersigned&#8217;s true and lawful attorneys-in-fact to:

<P style="text-indent: 8%; font-size: 10pt" align="left">(1)&nbsp;execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in
the undersigned&#8217;s capacity as an officer, director and/or more than 10% stockholder of ADVENTRX
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), Forms 3, 4 and 5 (including amendments thereto) with respect to
securities of the Company in accordance with Section&nbsp;16(a)&nbsp;of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
&#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;) and the rules thereunder;

<P style="text-indent: 8%; font-size: 10pt" align="left">(2)&nbsp;do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form&nbsp;3, 4 or 5
(or amendments thereto), and timely file such form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and
any stock exchange or similar authority; and

<P style="text-indent: 8%; font-size: 10pt" align="left">(3)&nbsp;take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorneys-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best
interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, in connection with filing such Form&nbsp;3, 4 or 5, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorneys-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this
Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorneys-in-fact may
approve in such attorneys-in-fact&#8217;s discretion.

<P style="text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt" align="left">The undersigned hereby grants to such attorneys-in-fact
full power and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper
to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as
the undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorneys-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this
Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the
Company assuming, any of the undersigned&#8217;s responsibilities to comply with Section&nbsp;16 of the Exchange
Act, and that this Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from responsibility for compliance with the
undersigned&#8217;s obligations under the Exchange Act. The undersigned further acknowledges that this Power of
Attorney authorizes, but does not require, the attorneys-in-fact to act in their discretion on information
provided to them without independent verification of such information.

<P style="text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt" align="left">This Power of Attorney shall remain in full, force and
effect until the undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to the
undersigned&#8217;s holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by
the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the attorneys-in-fact.
