SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation (NYSE MKT: APHB), a global leader in the development of therapies to treat drug-resistant infections using bacteriophage-based technology, announces that CEO M. Scott Salka will present a company overview at the 7th Annual LD Micro Invitational Conference at the Luxe Hotel in Los Angeles on Tuesday, June 6, 2017, at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
“We look forward to discussing our new strategic emphasis on utilizing our proprietary bacteriophage technology to develop personalized, precision phage therapies for patients who suffer from serious or life-threatening multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections and have limited or no satisfactory treatment options,” said Mr. Salka. “Our technology is well suited for precision medicine in infectious diseases due to its highly selective spectrum of activity, potential efficacy against MDR bacteria and inherent qualities, which enable ‘real-time’ manufacturing of customized therapies.”
AmpliPhi’s new strategic emphasis on personalized medicine builds upon the Company’s prior successes in developing tailored bacteriophage therapies under emergency investigational new drug (IND) applications for a critically ill, comatose patient with an MDR Acinetobacter baumannii infection and for a patient with an MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in the bladder.
Management will be available for one-on-one meetings with the investment community on June 6 and 7. Please contact LD Micro via the conference website or LHA at 310-691-7100 to arrange a meeting.
A live webcast of the presentation will be accessible from the Company’s website at http://investor.ampliphibio.com/events-and-presentations and a replay will be available for 30 days following the presentation.
