Avalon GloboCare Provides Update on New Commercial Strategy
Company Continues to Implement Major Change in Strategy Focused on Acquiring and Operating Accretive Revenue Generating Laboratories and Related Commercialized Products
Company Plans on Developing and Delivering Innovative, Transformative, Precision Diagnostics, Genetic Testing and Clinical Laboratory Services
FREEHOLD, N.J., July 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avalon GloboCare Corp. (“Avalon” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALBT), a developer of innovative precision diagnostics and provider of clinical laboratory services, today provided the following letter to shareholders from the Company’s President and CEO, David Jin, M.D., Ph.D.:
“We are excited to provide an update on our new commercial strategy focused on laboratory acquisitions and diagnostics. Avalon is dedicated to developing and delivering innovative, transformative, precision diagnostics and clinical laboratory services. Our evolving strategy involves acquiring ownership or license rights to precision diagnostic assets, genetic testing and clinical laboratory companies through joint ventures, share ownership structures or distribution rights. We intend to play a leading role in the innovation of diagnostic testing, utilizing proprietary technology to deliver precise, genetics-driven results. As a first major step into the laboratory market, we acquired a
Our goal is to take advantage of a unique roll-up opportunity within the highly fragmented market for laboratory testing and services. By targeting laboratories with strong financial track records and niche-market advantages, we believe we can effectively leverage LSM’s experience and infrastructure to achieve significant synergies with respect to revenue growth and market share.
Additionally, LSM is focused on commercialization of genetic-based proprietary testing. The first area of focus in this area is confirmatory genetic testing during toxicology screening and genetic testing to screen for addictive predisposition. LSM plans to focus on diagnostic testing utilizing proprietary technology to deliver precise genetic-driven results.
During 2023, we also secured exclusive distribution rights and are making rapid progress towards commercialization of the KetoAir™ breathalyzer device and related accessories, including current and future models, in North America, South America, the U.K. and the European Union. KetoAir™ functions as a monitoring device for ketogenic dietary management and will initially target the diabetes reversal and weight management markets. KetoAir™ uses an AI nutritionist bundled with the nanosensor-based breathalyzer for ketogenic health management, which has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. We had a successful pilot launch and exhibition of the KetoAir™ breathalyzer in this year’s KetoCon conference in Austin, Texas which was held in April 2023. Currently, we are evaluating options for commercialization, including identifying distribution partners or distributing KetoAir™ ourselves.
Regarding the R&D front, we are focused on bringing forward intellectual property through joint patent filings with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). We completed a sponsored research and co-development project with MIT led by Professor Shuguang Zhang as Principal Investigator. Using the unique QTY code protein design platform, six water-soluble variant cytokine receptors have been successfully designed and tested to show binding affinity to the respective cytokines. We look forward to advancing the intellectual property associated with this program by continuing to prosecute our joint patent applications.
We believe 2023 will be a pivotal year in the company’s history as we laid the foundation over the past few years to accomplish major achievements and successes in the coming year,” concluded Dr. Jin.
