Global life sciences company Pressure BioSciences Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) today announced that it has signed an agreement with an international biopharmaceutical company to assess the potential of PBIO’s recently acquired PreEMT™ platform to develop a unique manufacturing process and improve the quality of a key protein-based drug that’s currently under development. “We believe this contract will take three to four months to complete. Moreover, we have recently been contacted by several additional biopharmaceutical companies interested in evaluating our PreEMT disaggregation and refolding service in the development and manufacture of protein-based therapeutics,” Richard T. Schumacher, president and CEO of PBIO, stated in the news release. “Because of this early interest in the PreEMT platform, and because the BaroFold pressure-based technologies work on and will help sell our existing Barocycler instrumentation, we believe the BaroFold asset purchase will pay for itself very quickly. Finally, and importantly, should the PreEMT technology result in more efficient production of high quality protein-based therapeutics for any biopharmaceutical company developing new protein-based therapeutics, manufacturing-scale licenses have the potential to generate millions of dollars in annual royalty revenue.”
