Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a knowledge-driven
company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized
medicine and drug discovery, today announced continued progress by its Helomics
subsidiary toward the goal of developing an AI-driven predictive model of
ovarian cancer (CancerQuest 2020). Per the update, CancerQuest2020 (CCQ2020) is
focused on building an AI-driven model of ovarian cancer that will predict drug
response and outcome. Predictive models embody the knowledge from these
profiles, creating a “computational expert” or a “virtual patient” that can be
queried. “Despite some headwinds imposed by the current COVID-19 pandemic, the
Helomics team has been working diligently to meet both our clinical testing
priorities for ovarian cancer patients and their oncologists, as well as
maintaining progress on data generation for CCQ2020,” Helomics President Gerald
Vardzel said in the news release.

About Predictive Oncology Inc.
Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) operates through three
segments (Domestic, International and other), which contain four subsidiaries;
Helomics, TumorGenesis, Skyline Medical and Skyline Europe. Helomics applies
artificial intelligence to its rich data gathered from patient tumors to both
personalize cancer therapies for patients and drive the development of new
targeted therapies in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. Helomics’
CLIA-certified lab provides clinical testing that assists oncologists in
individualizing patient treatment decisions, by providing an evidence-based
roadmap for therapy. In addition to its proprietary precision oncology
platform, Helomics offers boutique CRO services that leverage its TruTumor(TM),
patient-derived tumor models coupled to a wide range of multi-omics assays
(genomics, proteomics and biochemical), and an AI-powered proprietary
bioinformatics platform to provide a tailored solution to its clients’ specific
needs. Predictive Oncology’s TumorGenesis subsidiary is developing a new rapid
approach to growing tumors in the laboratory, which essentially “fools” cancer
cells into thinking they are still growing inside a patient. Its proprietary
Oncology Discovery Technology Platform kits will assist researchers and clinicians
to identify which cancer cells bind to specific biomarkers. Once the biomarkers
are identified they can be used in TumorGenesis’ Oncology Capture Technology
Platforms which isolate and help categorize an individual patient’s
heterogeneous tumor samples to enable the development of patient specific
treatment options. Helomics and TumorGenesis are focused on ovarian cancer.
Predictive Oncology’s Skyline Medical division markets its patented and FDA
cleared STREAMWAY System, which automates the collection, measurement and
disposal of waste fluid, including blood, irrigation fluid and others, within a
medical facility, through both domestic and international divisions. The
company has achieved sales in five of the seven continents through both direct
sales and distributor partners. For more information, please visit www.Predictive-Oncology.com.
