Dyadic to Attend J.P. Morgan 41st Annual Healthcare Conference

JUPITER, Fla., Jan. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyadic International, Inc. (“Dyadic”, or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DYAI), a global biotechnology company focused on building innovative microbial platforms to address the growing demand for global protein production and unmet clinical needs for effective and affordable biopharmaceutical products for human and animal health, today announces that its senior executive management will attend the J.P. Morgan 41st Annual Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, CA. Dyadic’s founder and CEO, Mark Emalfarb will be making a corporate presentation at 4:00 PM PT on January 8, 2023 at the 6th Annual BFC Global Healthcare BD and Investment Conference, San Francisco, CA. Mr. Emalfarb will also be participating on the opening panel, which is scheduled at 9:15-10:15 AM PT.

The corporate presentation will focus on the recent advancements Dyadic has made with its C1-cell protein expression platform including the initiation of its first in human Phase 1 program for an antigen expressed in the C1 platform, with the trial expected to begin later this month. At the October 2022 World Vaccine Conference, Dyadic shared data demonstrating the capability of its C1 protein production platform to produce ferritin nanoparticle vaccines for COVID-19. At the BFC conference, Mr. Emalfarb will be discussing the encouraging intranasal and intramuscular animal data from one of the C1 produced COVID-19 ferritin nanoparticle vaccine candidates which generated much higher neutralizing antibodies compared to non-ferritin nanoparticle vaccines. The importance of these and other ongoing animal studies of C1 produced vaccine candidates builds upon other data from third party pre-clinical and clinical trials conducted by Walter Reed Medical Center, Duke University, and other widely respected institutions. These studies demonstrated the potential for nanoparticle vaccines to elicit potent immune response with the potential to provide broader more durable protection against SARS-CoV-2 as well as certain variants of concern. Dyadic will continue to leverage its scientific advancements, pre-clinical data, and upcoming Phase 1 data to expand the adoption of the C1 platform for speeding development, lowering production costs, and improving the performance of biologic vaccines and drugs, at flexible commercial scales, for the human and animal health markets. We expect these efforts to help facilitate health equity in emerging as well as developed countries across the globe.

Mr. Emalfarb will be joined by Chief Business Officer, Joe Hazelton, and they will be available for 1:1 meetings during the conferences in San Francisco. Interested parties can request meetings by contacting ir@dyadic.com.
