Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals Plc (LSE: HEMO), the biotechnology company developing novel therapies to transform bone marrow, or blood stem cell, transplantation for the treatment of blood diseases, announces that Align Research ("Align")has today initiated research coverage on the Company. The Company is pleased to note the comments of Align in their research note ("Note") including its "conviction buy" stance and target price of 18.15 pence.

As always shareholders should speak to their own financial adviser before entering into any dealings in the Company's shares. In particular, whilst the Company confirms the views attributed to it in the Note on recent trading, there is no certainty that the possible future collaborations and the Board's great confidence can be realized in full or within the Company's current development timetable. The views expressed by Align on the Company's valuation and prospects are a matter of opinion and the Company is in no position to comment on whether they are accurate.

The Company also wishes to draw attention to the key risks identified by Align and its disclaimer and risk warning and the qualifications that it makes in its conclusion to the Note. Shareholders should also note that the Company is a research client of Align and that Align holds shares in the Company
