Oryzon to Present at Upcoming International Conferences

13th Annual International Partnering Conference BIO-Europe Spring VIENNA
14th International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases (ADPD2019) LISBON

MADRID, SPAIN and CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 25, 2019 / Oryzon Genomics, S.A. (ISIN Code: ES0167733015, ORY), a public clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leveraging epigenetics to develop therapies in diseases with strong unmet medical need, announced today that the company will continue its institutional presence in several reputed international conferences in the upcoming weeks.

Directors of the company will participate at the 13th Annual International Partnering Conference BIO-Europe Spring that will be held in Vienna, Austria, at the Messe Wien Exhibition and Congress Center, from March 25 to 27. BIO-Europe Spring is an annual event specialized in partnering and licensing alliances in the pharmaceutical sector.

Dr. Roger Bullock, Oryzon’s Medical Director and other directors of the company will also participate at the 14th International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and related neurological disorders (ADPD2019) that takes in place in Lisbon, Portugal, from March 26 to 31. Dr. Bullock will present a poster communication entitled “Etheral: Vafidemstat in Alzheimer’s disease: design and baseline data” and an short oral presentation on Saturday, March 30, Auditorium V – SHORT ORAL SESSION 04.

About Oryzon

Founded in 2000 in Barcelona, Spain, Oryzon (ISIN Code: ES0167733015) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company considered as the European champion in Epigenetics. Oryzon has one of the strongest portfolios in the field. Oryzon’s LSD1 program has rendered two compounds Vafidemstat and Iadademstat in clinical trials. In addition, Oryzon has ongoing programs for developing inhibitors against other epigenetic targets. Oryzon has a strong technological platform for biomarker identification and performs biomarker and target validation for a variety of malignant and neurodegenerative diseases. Oryzon has offices in Spain and the United States. For more information, visit www.oryzon.com

About Vafidemstat

Vafidemstat is an oral, brain penetrant drug that selectively inhibits LSD1 and MAOB. The molecule acts on several levels: it reduces cognitive impairment, memory loss and neuroinflammation, and at the same time has neuroprotective effects. In animal studies Vafidemstat not only restores memory but reduces the exacerbated aggressiveness of SAMP8 mice, a model for accelerated aging and Alzheimer’s disease, to normal levels and also reduces social avoidance and enhances sociability in murine models. In addition, Vafidemstat exhibits fast, strong and durable efficacy in several preclinical models of multiple sclerosis (MS). Oryzon has already started Phase IIa clinical studies with Vafidemstat in patients with Relapse-Remitting and Secondary Progressive MS (SATEEN), in patients with Mild to Moderate Alzheimer’s disease (ETHERAL) and in aggressiveness in patients with different psychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders (basket trial REIMAGINE).

About Iadademstat

Iadademstat (ORY-1001) is a small oral molecule, which acts as a highly selective inhibitor of the epigenetic enzyme LSD1 and has a powerful differentiating effect in hematologic cancers (See Maes et al., Cancer Cell 2018 Mar 12; 33 (3): 495-511.e12.doi: 10.1016 / j.ccell.2018.02.002.). A first Phase I/IIa clinical trial with Iadademstat in refractory and relapsed acute leukemia patients demonstrated the safety and good tolerability of the drug and preliminary signs of antileukemic activity, including a CRi. Beyond hematological cancers, the inhibition of LSD1 has been proposed as a valid therapeutic approach in some solid tumors such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), medulloblastoma and others. Oryon has recently started two Phase IIa clinical trials of Iadademstat in combination; the first one in combination with Azacitidine in elderly AML patients (ALICE study) and the second one in combination with platinum/etoposide in second line SCLC patients (CLEPSIDRA study).

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / March 25, 2019 / University Bancorp, Inc.

In the transaction ULG also acquired assets and hired the employees of HVF’s reverse mortgage division, 1st Nations Reverse, and its wholesale lending division, HVF Partners.

The combined sales force can also refer customers as needed, to University Bank’s full community banking and insurance agency products (offered through Ann Arbor Insurance Centre*).

Stephen Lange Ranzini, President and CEO of University Bank stated, “I’ve known Eric Bradley prior to the foundation of HVF in 1997 and have admired his ability to build and bring together one of the top mortgage origination teams in Washtenaw County. We see this alliance and association as bringing together two very skilled teams with similar cultures. Both of our firms are focused on providing top rated customer service to consumers and specialize in working with sources of influence including Financial Advisors, CPAs, Lawyers and other professionals to provide professional mortgage services to their clients. We will bring our unique customer service that provides underwriting decisions and underwriting condition waivers in 24 hours or less and the wider product menu of financial services that University Bank makes available to this larger group of loan officers and their customers.”

Eric Bradley, President and CEO of Huron Valley Financial stated, “I am very pleased to unite the HVF team with University Bank and University Lending Group. I have known Stephen Lange Ranzini for over 22 years and I have always been impressed by his business acumen and his track record of success in growing the bank from $34 million in assets, $14 million in loans and 21 employees to $22 billion in assets under management and 390 employees. Integrating the unique mortgage loan products and services offered by both companies with our highly educated, professional, and ethical loan officers gives consumers in southeast Michigan a distinct choice for mortgage lenders. Our combined companies will offer a variety of unique products along with technology that allows consumers to manage the entire loan process online, yet we’ll still maintain local offices where consumers can meet in person with a mortgage professional and discuss financing options over a cup of coffee.

Eric Bradley and Stephen Lange Ranzini

The combined firm will be the largest locally based first mortgage loan originator.

“AHIP is the largest and most active national association for healthcare coverage companies and CMS controls nearly all government healthcare payments,” said Brian Murphy, CEO of NanoVibronix. “Both AHIP and CMS have created and are mandating the use of Pain Management Plans, which encourage new technologies to address pain management. Working with insurance companies, in connection with AHIP and CMS, we have been able to secure approval and reimbursement for the use of the PainShield® technology based upon the proven effectiveness of PainShield®.”

“We are pleased with the market response to PainShield® by providers, who seek to provide effective alternative treatments, and payors, who are eager to assist with the early adoption of those treatments given the magnitude of the prescription opioid crisis in the U.S., which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported at $78.5 billion annually,” continued Murphy. “The speed in which we secured reimbursement for PainShield® is extremely gratifying and further validates the overall market need and acceptance of our product, which is supported by strong clinical data. With PainShield®, we have been able to pair a highly effective treatment modality with a corresponding national initiative to address the opioid crisis. We are well positioned to provide vital and safe treatments to patients, while assisting payors and providers to comply with new regulations.”

About Dyadic International, Inc.

Dyadic International, Inc. is a global biotechnology company which is developing what it believes will be a potentially significant biopharmaceutical gene expression platform based on the fungus Myceliophthora thermophila, named C1. The C1 microorganism, which enables the development and large-scale manufacture of low cost proteins, has the potential to be further developed into a safe and efficient expression system that may help speed up the development, lower production costs and improve the performance of biologic vaccines and drugs at flexible commercial scales. Dyadic is using the C1 technology and other technologies to conduct research, development and commercial activities for the development and manufacturing of human and animal vaccines (such as virus like particles (VLPs) and antigens), monoclonal antibodies, Fab antibody fragments, Fc-Fusion proteins, biosimilars and/or biobetters, and other therapeutic proteins. Dyadic pursues research and development collaborations, licensing arrangements and other commercial opportunities with its partners and collaborators to leverage the value and benefits of these technologies for their potential use in the development and manufacture of human and animal biopharmaceuticals. In particular, as the aging population grows in developed and undeveloped countries, Dyadic believes the C1 technology may help bring biologic drugs to market faster, in greater volumes, at lower cost, and with new properties to drug developers and manufacturers and, hopefully, improve access and cost to patients and the healthcare system, but most importantly save lives.

Please visit Dyadic’s website at http://www.dyadic.com for additional information, including details regarding Dyadic’s plans for its biopharmaceutical business.

Dyadic trades on the OTCQX tier of the OTC marketplace.

Reddiquette.com, a Website that is Devoted to Reddit Ads and Marketing, is Officially Launched

Reddiquette.com Includes a Complete Guide to Reddit Advertising, Advice on How to Get Started and Much More

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 25, 2019 / The founders of Reddiquette.com, a website that is devoted to helping people who want to learn more about Reddit ads, are pleased to announce the launch of their new and user-friendly website.

To check out the new site and read one of the new articles, titled “Reddit Ads: The Complete (Updated) Guide,” please visit https://www.reddiquette.com/getting-started-with-reddit-ads/.

As a spokesperson for Reddiquette.com noted, the founders of the website understand that while many people have heard of Reddit advertising and marketing, they may be unsure if it’s something they should pursue or how to go about it. Since Reddit is also a relatively underutilized advertising platform, the founders know that there is not a lot of information out there that explains about Reddit marketing and ads.

This inspired them to launch Reddiquette.com, and provide people with a one stop Reddit ad shop.

Even though the site was only launched just recently, it is already getting a lot of positive attention from visitors to the site. For example, the guide about Reddit ads is creating a lot of buzz with readers who are hungry for information on the topic.

As the guide notes, Reddit offers far more value for the money and a higher potential ceiling, when used properly, than Facebook and Instagram.

“There is no other platform that gives access to a highly targeted audience in the same way that Reddit does,” the guide notes, adding that while Reddit can be more difficult to effectively navigate, and it may seem more confusing than other social media platforms, once these basics are learned, it can become an immeasurably powerful tool in a marketing strategy.

For those who are still unsure if Reddit ads are right for them and their company, the guide also offers a handy list of pros and cons. One key pro, the guide notes, is that Reddit offers a huge range of active users that business owners can target.

“The opportunities afforded by Reddit are vast because the traffic can be so segmented, as the use of ‘subreddits’ can allow you to find a new marketing opportunity that your competition may have missed,” the guide notes.

About Reddiquette.com:

Reddiquette.com is a new website that features in-depth and helpful information and advice about Reddit advertising and marketing. The site includes guides, advice on why people would want to use Reddit ads, tips on how to get started and much more. For more information, please visit https://www.reddiquette.com/.

Palladion Signature Import (PSI) Limited to Present at the 146th NIBA Investment Conference

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 25, 2019 / Palladion Signature Import (PSI) Limited, an emerging luxury Fine Wines & Premium Spirits Importer, is presenting at the 146th NIBA Investment Conference, March 25th-26th, Crown Plaza Times Square in New York City. Billy Starkey, PSI’s CEO, is presenting.

For more information about NIBA or participating in the upcoming New York Conference on March 25th-26th, 2019, please visit www.nibanet.org or contact NIBA at emily@nibanet.org or 706-208-9620.

About Palladion Signature Import (PSI) Limited.

Palladion Signature Import (PSI) is a high-end fine wines & premium spirits importer specializing in the exclusive import of small batch, traditionally handcrafted, artisanal products – capitalizing on underserved nationwide demand for non-mainstream specialties at top-tier market segments. Key components of PSI’s strategy include securing exclusivities with independent family-estate producers of top expert-vetted products, and building these brands globally through disciplined high-end placements.

Corporate-owned multi-state top-tier venues and fine dining restaurants add to the demand for PSI’s exclusive product lines within this surging market segment. This segment lies beyond the reach of localized boutique importers and is underserved by large suppliers that favor high volume “power brand” industrialized products. During proof of concept and market testing, PSI’s product lines were swiftly adopted by key corporate customers including MGM International, Caesars Entertainment, Hakkasan Group, and Darden Group, the world’s largest table service restaurant corporation. In addition, PSI swiftly added independent Michelin-starred restaurants and renowned VIP venues including the Embassy of France, the Residence of the Ambassador of France, and the Embassy of Italy.

PSI serves another unique industry role, but on the supply side. By its introduction and development of these family-estate brands to the US, PSI greatly aids the preservation of precious traditional craft methodologies – arts that are rapidly disappearing as cost-cutting industrial methods overtake the global landscape and erode overall product quality across the industry. Master-level clients recognize PSI’s quality and rarity, which further propels top-tier demand for PSI’s exclusive product lines.
