Ventana Biotech Inc ("Ventana") (PINK SHEETS: VNTA), a biotechnology company that is developing an appetite-suppressing chewing gum, is pleased to announce that it will soon enter into a collaboration deal with Prime Bioreseach to develop its propriety biotechnology.

The two companies recently signed an Official Letter of Intent to Collaborate, which confirmed Prime Bioresearch's intent to enter a full collaboration agreement with Ventana by the end of this quarter.

Ventana will partner with Prime Bioresearch for the project management and outsourcing of the Research and Development for its patented Anti-Obesity Chewing Gum. The two companies are considering collaboration agreements for Ventana's future patents as well.

Prime Bioresearch is an experienced drug target acquisition and development company that specializes in developing medicines for markets such as Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes.
