MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J., Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO), a critical care immunotherapy leader commercializing its flagship CytoSorb® blood filter to treat deadly inflammation in critically-ill and cardiac surgery patients around the world, announced that its CEO Dr. Phillip Chan, MD, PhD, will present at the 18th Annual BIO CEO & Investor Conference on February 8, 2016 in New York City.
"Uncontrolled severe inflammation can wreak havoc on the body, rapidly causing vital organs to fail and leading to the death of many patients," said Dr. Chan. "Unfortunately, we see this every day in intensive care units in patients with life-threatening diseases such as sepsis, trauma, lung injury, liver failure, and even cytokine release syndrome in cancer immunotherapy. CytoSorb®, which is approved in the European Union and credited with saving many lives in more than 9,000 human treatments worldwide, is designed to reduce the 'fuel to the fire' of deadly inflammation by filtering a broad range of inflammatory mediators from blood, and is fundamentally different from anti-inflammatory drugs and biologics which are typically too weak and immunosuppressive agents that are too strong."
Dr. Chan continued, "The BIO CEO & Investor Conference is one of the premiere conferences for a broad range of healthcare and life science investors. We look forward to this excellent opportunity to showcase our emerging growth story that features the lower risk profile of a medical device company with current product sales, with the massive revenue opportunity of a biotechnology company."
Conference Presentation Details:
Where: The Waldorf Astoria New York Hotel, 301 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022
When: Monday, February 8, 2016 at 4:00 PM ET
Room: Conrad Room
Live Webcast: http://www.veracast.com/webcasts/bio/ceoinvestor2016/82132422656.cfm
Currently, the management team will be available on February 8-9th for one-on-one meetings with investors. To schedule a meeting, please use the BIO CEO one-on-one meeting portal for registered participants. An archived version of the webcast will be available 1 hour after the presentation.

About CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO)
CytoSorb® is approved in the European Union with distribution in 32 countries around the world, as a safe and effective extracorporeal cytokine adsorber, designed to reduce the "cytokine storm" or "cytokine release syndrome" that could otherwise cause massive inflammation, organ failure and death in common critical illnesses such as sepsis, burn injury, trauma, lung injury, and pancreatitis, as well as in cancer immunotherapy. These are conditions where the risk of death is extremely high, yet no effective treatments exist. CytoSorb® is also being used during and after cardiac surgery to remove inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and free hemoglobin, which can lead to post-operative complications, including multiple organ failure. CytoSorb® has been used safely in more than 9,000 human treatments to date.
CytoSorbents' purification technologies are based on biocompatible, highly porous polymer beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. The Company has numerous products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology, protected by 32 issued U.S. patents and multiple applications pending, including HemoDefend™, ContrastSorb, DrugSorb, and others.
