SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PolarityTE, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTE), a commercial stage biotechnology company focused on transforming the lives of patients by discovering, designing and developing a range of regenerative tissue products and biomaterials for the fields of medicine, biomedical engineering and material sciences, announced today that the Company will be the Title Sponsor for "ACTion for Jackson," a charitable event being held on November 8, 2018 in New York City, organized by the EB Research Partnership.
PolarityTE (PRNewsfoto/PolarityTE, Inc.)
During the event, Nikolai Sopko, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of PolarityTE will discuss the research PolarityTE is conducting in epidermolysis bullosa, a life-threatening rare genetic disease. PolarityTE's SkinTE™ product was used to treat an epidermolysis bullosa wound during the product's limited market release in early 2018, and the Company is currently using pre-clinical data to investigate genetically modifying SkinTE to develop treatments for epidermolysis bullosa and other genetic disorders.
"ACTion for Jackson" is one of the largest events held by the EB Research Partnership during the year and brings together families of patients, providers, payers and investors. Founded by a dedicated group of parents along with Eddie and Jill Vedder, the EB Research Partnership has raised more than $25 million and is currently funding 21 research projects, including several in gene and cell therapy. Epidermolysis bullosa is a family of life-threatening rare genetic diseases in which patients lack critical proteins that bind the two skin layers together to support strength and structure of the tissue.
Dr. Sopko remarked, "Beyond the promising results seen in an EB patient treated with SkinTE, we are also encouraged by some of the early stage results we are seeing in our gene transfer investigations, and we look forward to presenting more data related to these efforts during 2019. Epidermolysis bullosa is one of many debilitating genetic diseases that can affect the skin as well as other organs. We hope that one day we will be able to provide a permanent treatment for epidermolysis bullosa and give these patients back their skin."
