Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a knowledge-driven
company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized
medicine and drug discovery, today announced that its director and CEO Dr. Carl
Schwartz was featured in an exclusive interview with NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”).
In the interview, Dr. Schwartz discussed Predictive Oncology’s distinctive
business model, as well as significant changes management is making to position
the company for the future. “Predictive’s major asset is its Helomics
subsidiary and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer tumors covering
over 137 types of cancers, with over 30,000 tumors related to ovarian cancer,
which is sort of our specialty. In fact, this is the largest inventory of its
kind in the world,” Dr. Schwartz said, explaining that the collection was
amassed over the last two decades by physicians sending in cancerous tumors to
be tested with the known therapies of the time. “The results of these tests
were in turn sent back to the referring physicians to be used as a guide or a
reference as desired for treatment of the evaluated tumor. And the evaluated
tumor was placed back in the physician’s therapy inventory. That’s how we
amassed all these tumors.”

About Predictive Oncology Inc.
Predictive Oncology operates through three segments
(domestic, international and other) that 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
road map 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.
