Orgenesis to Present Updates at Two Key June Conferences
31 May 2013 - 4:30AM
Orgenesis Inc. (OTCBB:ORGS) ("Orgenesis" or the "Company"), a
development-stage company with a novel therapeutic technology
dedicated to converting a patient's own liver cells into
functioning insulin-producing cells as a treatment for diabetes, is
pleased to announce that it will be presenting updates on the
Company's business and technology at two key conferences in the
month of June.
Orgenesis' CEO, Sav DiPasquale, will present a company overview
on June 10, 2013 at the IATI Biomed Conference in Tel Aviv, Israel.
This is Israel's premier life science conference showcasing the
country's most advanced companies and technologies. Last year's
event drew 6,000 industry players, engineers and scientists, with
1,000 participants from 42 countries and more than 3,500 one-on-one
meetings.
Prof. Sarah Ferber, Chief Science Officer of Orgenesis, will
speak at the International Society for Stem Cell Research ("ISSCR")
11th Annual Meeting on June 14, 2013 in Boston, MA. ISSCR is the
largest international interdisciplinary forum dedicated to stem
cell science. Prof. Ferber's talk will focus on the mechanism of
transdifferentiation and its implementation in autologous cell
replacement therapy for diabetic patients.
"We are very pleased to have these two important opportunities
to update investors, life science industry participants and cell
therapy experts on our progress to-date within the groundbreaking
field of transdifferentiation and the promise those advancements
may hold for the treatment of diabetes," said Mr. DiPasquale.
About Orgenesis Inc.
Orgenesis (OTCBB:ORGS) is a development stage company with a
novel therapeutic technology that employs a molecular and cellular
approach directed at converting a patient's own liver cells into
functional insulin producing cells, as a treatment for diabetes.
The Company believes that converting the diabetic patient's own
tissue into insulin-producing cells overcomes the problem of donor
shortage and removes the risk of transplant rejection. If
successful, this could mean the end of diabetes, as we now know it.
