Exhibit 99.1

 

Oragenics, Inc. Chief Medical Officer, Dr. James P. Kelly, to Participate in the 12th Annual Brain Health Summit at the Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party 2025

 

SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 5, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Oragenics, Inc. (NYSE American: OGEN), a biotechnology company advancing innovative treatments for concussion and brain-related health conditions, today announced that its Chief Medical Officer, James P. Kelly, MA, MD, FAAN, FANA, will be a featured panelist at the 12th Annual Brain Health Summit, held in conjunction with this year’s Super Bowl celebrations in New Orleans on February 8, 2025. The event will focus on advancing awareness, prevention, and care for athletic concussions and exploring innovative approaches to traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment.

 

Dr. Kelly, a leading expert in neurology and concussion care, joins an esteemed lineup of thought leaders to discuss the long-term impact of TBIs, groundbreaking advances in treatment, and strategies for prevention. His expertise aligns with the summit’s mission to educate and inspire action in tackling the ongoing challenges posed by brain injuries in athletics.

 

“It’s an honor to contribute to this milestone event, which brings critical attention to the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injuries,” said Dr. Kelly. “At Oragenics, we are at the forefront of innovation with ONP-002, our intranasal neurosteroid, designed to address the unmet needs of concussion treatment. Events like this summit are vital for fostering collaboration and exploring new approaches, such as leveraging neuroplasticity and advanced delivery systems, to transform how we care for athletes and others affected by TBIs.”

 

Now in its 12th year, the Brain Health Summit has become a cornerstone event for advancing the understanding and treatment of brain injuries in athletes. Hosted by legendary sports agent Leigh Steinberg, a long-time advocate for player safety and concussion awareness, the summit brings together top medical experts, former professional athletes, and industry leaders to drive meaningful change in brain health. This year’s event will once again feature Dr. Nicole Roberts as the moderator, who is the founder and President of Health & Human Rights Strategies and an expert in health innovation, technology, and brain health, particularly as it impacts vulnerable populations. Held alongside the excitement of the Super Bowl, the summit combines the sports community’s passion with a commitment to improving the lives of those affected by TBIs.
