Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) has entered the race to develop a COVID19 vaccine with the announced acquisition of Soluble Therapeutics and the subsequent partnership and licensing of a novel nanoparticle vaccine technology platform recently developed by Dr. Daniel Carter. According to the update, the ground-breaking vaccine technology is based on a self-assembling nanoparticle called NSP10, which follows a foundational vaccine platform developed earlier by Dr. Carter and his team, using another self-assembling protein called ferritin*. Extremely versatile, the NSP10 Nanoparticle has special surface properties that allow for the rapid design and display of viral receptor stems for virtually any virus. “Couple these properties with the extraordinary immunogenic properties and you have a potentially ‘game changing’ technology,” according to Dr. Joel Dobbs, a retired pharmaceutical industry executive, who is now Executive-in-Residence at UAB’s Collat School of Business. “This is a truly transitional technology that could change the way vaccines are made in the future.”

About Predictive Oncology Inc.
Predictive Oncology operates through three segments (domestic, international and other) that contain four subsidiaries; Helomics, TumorGenesis, Skyline Medical and Skyline Europe. Helomics applies artificial intelligence to its rich data gathered from patient tumors to both personalize cancer therapies for patients and drive the development of new targeted therapies in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. Helomics’ CLIA-certified lab provides clinical testing that assists oncologists in individualizing patient treatment decisions, by providing an evidence-based road map for therapy. In addition to its proprietary precision oncology platform, Helomics offers boutique CRO services that leverage its TruTumor(TM), patient-derived tumor models coupled with a wide range of multi-omics assays (genomics, proteomics and biochemical), and an AI-powered proprietary bioinformatics platform to provide a tailored solution to its clients’ specific needs. Predictive Oncology’s TumorGenesis subsidiary is developing a new rapid approach to growing tumors in the laboratory, which essentially “fools” cancer cells into thinking they are still growing inside a patient. Its proprietary Oncology Discovery Technology Platform Kits will assist researchers and clinicians to identify which cancer cells bind to specific biomarkers. Once the biomarkers are identified, they can be used in TumorGenesis’ Oncology Capture Technology Platforms, which isolate and help categorize an individual patient’s heterogeneous tumor samples to enable the development of patient-specific treatment options. Helomics and TumorGenesis are focused on ovarian cancer. Predictive Oncology’s Skyline Medical division markets its patented and FDA-cleared STREAMWAY System, which automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluid, including blood, irrigation fluid and others, within a medical facility, through both domestic and international divisions. The company has achieved sales in five of the seven continents through both direct sales and distributor partners. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Predictive-Oncology.com.
