NanoViricides, Inc. Presents at the BARDA Industry Day

WEST HAVEN, CT | Posted on August 6th, 2007

"The strong preclinical success of our nanoviricides pandemic influenza drug candidates, FluCide-HP ™ and AviFluCide ™ has generated significant interest," reports Dr. Anil R. Diwan, President of the Company, adding further, "The broad-spectrum antivirals including FluCide-I ™ that we are developing now, as well as our novel Flexible Biosecurity 'Just-In-Time Accurate Drug' platform technology will be extremely valuable to overall national biosecurity."

Approximately fifteen companies presented in the Therapeutics section. NanoViricides, Inc. was the only nanomedicine-based antiviral therapeutics company at the Industry Day.

"Our leadership position in nanomedicine against viral diseases, and the potential to create the equivalent of penicillin-like broad-spectrum drugs against viruses is now well recognized," said Dr. Eugene Seymour, MD, MPH, CEO, NanoViricides, Inc.

BARDA is currently authorized to spend $1.07 billion on acquisition and advanced development activities from 2006 to 2008. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), and in particular, National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), in partnership with BARDA, are generally responsible for enabling many eligible novel technologies for further development towards the goal of acquisition.
