PBIO Names First Center of Excellence in China, Eyes Significant Expansion

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (“PBI”) (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments and related consumables for the worldwide life sciences industry, this morning announced that Professor Tiannan Guo’s laboratory at Westlake Institute for Advanced Study (“WIAS”) has been named the company’s first Center of Excellence (“CoE”) in China. Guo, alongside internationally-recognized proteomics expert Ruedi Aebersold, is a co-developer of PCT-SWATH, a novel proteomics method combining the unique capabilities of PBI’s patented pressure cycling technology (“PCT”) platform for sample preparation with the advanced analytical capabilities of SCIEX’s mass spectrometry SWATH method. “Although the initial purchase of four instruments and related consumables from WIAS is greatly appreciated, it is the potential impact of having our Barocycler instruments in a laboratory at one of China’s premier research institutes, led by one of the most innovative and knowledgeable PCT users in the world, that is most exciting to us,” Richard T. Schumacher, president and CEO of PBI, stated in the news release. “The Chinese life sciences market is one of the largest and fastest-growing in the world. We expect to rapidly expand into this critical market with help from our colleagues at WIAS. Together with our recent expansion into Europe and the hiring of our own field sales team in the U.S., we believe our marketing strategy will result in significant revenue increases, driven by a larger and more diversified global customer base.”

About Pressure BioSciences, Inc.

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (“PBI”) (OTCQB: PBIO) develops, markets, and sells proprietary laboratory instrumentation and associated consumables to the estimated $6 billion life sciences sample preparation market. Our products are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure cycling technology, or “PCT”) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to safely and reproducibly control bio-molecular interactions. Our primary focus is in the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug development and design, bio-therapeutics characterization, soil & plant biology, forensics, and counter-bioterror applications. Major new focal market opportunities are emerging in the use of our patented, scalable, high-efficiency Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) to create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (such as oils and water), and to prepare higher quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room temperature stable, low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies.
