NeOnc Technologies Featured on Yahoo Finance's Podcast Trader Talk: AI and Biotech Take on Brain Cancer

CALABASAS, Calif., Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTHI), a multi-phase 2 clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing transformative treatments for brain and central nervous system cancers, was featured on Yahoo Finance’s Trader Talk with Kenny Polcari in a podcast episode titled “AI and Biotech Take on Brain Cancer.”

As Trader Talk describes it: “When a biotech startup lands in a major index just months after its IPO, investors take notice. In this episode of Trader Talk, Kenny Polcari speaks with Amir Heshmatpour, executive chairman and president of NeOnc Technologies (Nasdaq: NTHI), about how the company defied a tough market to go public, secure a $50 million partnership in the Middle East, and join the Russell Microcap Index. Heshmatpour explains NeOnc’s focus on intranasal drug delivery for brain cancer, the significance of its partnership with USC’s medical school, and how global clinical trials are expanding the company’s reach. The conversation also includes how AI and quantum computing could transform the biotech industry. It’s a rare behind-the-scenes look at how a small-cap biotech is executing on a global stage.”
