The conference is being held at the Parc 55 Wyndham San Francisco – Union Square.
"We look forward to discussing our progress at this conference, which promotes corporate partnering and attracts an audience interested in companies like Genesis," said Mr. Brooke. "Last year we took steps to advance development of our proprietary anti-CD55 technology in multiple oncology indications and raised nearly $2 million to support its continued development.
"We have set an aggressive agenda for 2011. This quarter we plan to announce results from preclinical efficacy studies with our anti-CD55 therapeutic as a monotherapy in multiple cancer types and in combination with currently marketed blockbuster monoclonal antibodies. These study results will help us determine the best pathway to advance this program toward clinical proof-of-concept, which typically is shown in Phase 2 clinical trials," he added.
