Stellar Biotechnologies president and CEO
Frank Oakes today presented at the Rodman & Renshaw 2014 Global Investment
Conference, where more than 200 biotech, healthcare, technology, natural
resources and growth companies are presenting to an audience of more than 1,500
attendees. The conference will be held at the New York Palace Hotel in New York
City, September 8-11, 2014.
Oakes took the stage to highlight the
Stellar’s position and operations a sustainable manufacturer of Keyhole Limpet
Hemocyanin (KLH), an important immune-stimulating protein used in wide-ranging
therapeutic and diagnostic markets.
This versatile molecule can be combined with a
disease-targeting agent to create a novel immunotherapy, or used alone to
assess the body’s immune response. KLH
can only be obtained from a scarce marine source, the Giant Keyhole Limpet, a
shelled species native to Southern California and Mexico.
Stellar has developed a patented method for
harvesting KLH without harming the Giant Keyhole Limpet. The company’s production facilities represent
breakthrough achievements such as the first-ever ability to sustain generations
of the source in controlled, land-based facilities.
Stellar aims to utilize this method to meet
the growing demand for commercial-scale supplies of GMP grade KLH, ensuring
environmentally sound KLH production and developing KLH-based active
immunotherapies.
