NeuBase Therapeutics Announces Speakers for Virtual R&D Day Taking Place on June 8th

PITTSBURGH, June 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeuBase Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBSE) ("NeuBase" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company accelerating the genetic revolution using a new class of precision genetic medicines, today announced that it will host a virtual R&D day for investors and analysts on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at 12:30 p.m. EDT.

The event will feature presentations from the NeuBase management team and the following Key Opinion Leaders:

• Peter Nielsen, Ph.D., is a leading expert in gene targeting, RNA interference, and chemical replication and translation and was one of the inventors of PNAs, the backbone of NeuBase’s PATrOL™ platform.
• Robert M. Friedlander, M.D., M.A., is intricately involved in basic and translational neuroscience research initiatives, and his work has developed new potential approaches for treatments including Huntington's disease.

NeuBase will present new data for the Company’s pipeline – including myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), Huntington’s disease (HD), and its new oncology program.

Using the Company’s proprietary PATrOL™ platform, NeuBase is designing precision genetic medicines to activate, silence, or edit genes, as appropriate, depending on the underlying genetic mutation driving disease. This unifying platform capability is uniquely positioned to create a scalable pipeline of new medicines to address previously untreatable diseases.

A live Q&A session will follow the formal presentations. To register for NeuBase’s R&D Day, please click here.
