The event, titled 'Enabling Continuous Drug Delivery for Parkinson's Disease & Beyond,' will feature CEO Steven A. Ledger and is scheduled for December 18, 2024, at 8:30 AM Pacific/11:30 AM Eastern.
The presentation will address continuous dopaminergic stimulation (CDS), which has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing motor complications in advanced Parkinson's patients.

Heerdink, Jr., and will include a Q&A session.
Serina Therapeutics (NYSE American: SER) announced that their Chief Development Officer, Randall Moreadith, MD, PhD, will present at the 3rd Annual LNP Immunogenicity & Toxicity Summit in Boston. The presentation focuses on their proprietary POZ-lipid technology, which shows promising results in improving lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations.
Key findings demonstrate that POZ-lipid did not trigger IgM or IgG antibody responses after repeated administration in animal testing. This contrasts with conventional PEG-lipids, which produced strong antibody responses. The absence of immune response to POZ-lipid suggests potential for developing safer LNP formulations, particularly significant given that anti-PEG antibody responses have been linked to hypersensitivity reactions in mRNA-based vaccine recipients.
