April 27, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIO) said it will host a Symposium entitled "Applications of Ultra-high Pressure in Biotechnology."

The symposium will be held from 8: 30 am to 5: 00 pm on Friday, May 21, 2010, in the Rotunda Room of the New Research Building at Harvard Medical School, 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, in Boston, MA. The event will be co-hosted by the Laboratory for Innovative Translational Technologies (HC-LITT) and the Central Laboratory of Harvard Catalyst | The Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center (Harvard CTSC).

The symposium is free-of-charge; pre-registration is required.

Dr. Nate Lawrence, vice president of marketing for PBI, said: "Expected symposium presenters include a prestigious group of scientists from Harvard Medical School, the Harvard School of Public Health, the Barnett Institute at Northeastern University, the University of Montreal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, Target Discovery, and others. Topics include the use of cycled hydrostatic pressure in such wide-ranging, important, and exciting applications as swine and seasonal flu vaccine quality control, ovarian cancer, anti-bioterror, forensic sciences, tissue pathology, bio-therapeutics, novel therapeutics and their targets, detection of pathogens adversely affecting important food crops, membrane protein research, sample preparation for genomic and proteomic studies, extraction of Lyme Disease bacterial DNA from infected ticks, and even the recovery of proteins from 30-40 million year old paleontological samples."

Pressure BioSciences is focused on the development of a novel, enabling technology called pressure cycling technology, which uses cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels (up to 35,000 psi and greater) to control bio-molecular interactions. PBI currently holds 14 U.S. and 10 foreign patents covering multiple applications of PCT in the life sciences field, including genomic and proteomic sample preparation, pathogen inactivation, the control of chemical and enzymatic reactions, immunodiagnostics, and protein purification.
