Immuron CEO Presents at 2014 Bioshares Biotech Summit
Melbourne, Australia - 21 July 2014: Australian biopharmaceutical company Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC) presented at a prestigious Bioshares Biotech Summit in Queenstown, New Zealand on the afternoon of Friday 18[th] July 2014.
The 10[th] Annual Bioshares Biotech Summit is hosted by Australia’s leading independent biotech investment publication Bioshares. The summit joins life science companies from Australia and New Zealand with private and institutional investors from Australasia and the US. It is aptly described as an 'essential biotech investment event' because it brings together executives and investors into the one room for two intense days of presentations and networking.
Immuron’s Chief Executive Office Mr Amos Meltzer’s presentation focused on the Company’s main value proposition being the Phase II NASH clinical trial due to commence last this year.
Following his presentation at the summit Mr Meltzer commented “that the summit was very well attended by approximately 150 persons including a mix of other biotech company management together with a large number of Australian, New Zealand and US fund managers, private investors, brokers and analysts.
It was a fantastic opportunity for Immuron to showcase the upcoming commencement of its fully funded Phase II NASH clinical trial which highlights another step in the unique opportunity Immuron now offers for investors”.
