Additionally—Initial Prototypes of the Portable, Disposable Devices for the Lateral Flow COVID-19 Test Have Been Produced

NEW YORK, NY and SAN DIEGO, CA, July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — Aegea Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Aegea”) ( www.aegeabiotech.com),a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of next generation nucleic-acid diagnostic technologies, announces progress on the development of its Point-of-Care (“POC”) COVID-19 diagnostic test.  As described in a previous announcement, Aegea is currently developing two different COVID-19 diagnostic tests.  Each applies technology from different issued Aegea patents.  One is a PCR-based SARS-CoV-2 test (the “SARS-CoV-2 Test”), and the other is a POC test that is designed to be widely accessible by providing results within 30 minutes using a small, portable device, without the requirement for complex instrumentation (“Lateral Flow COVID-19 Test”).  These COVID-19 diagnostic tests are being developed under the collaboration agreement with Tauriga Sciences Inc. (OTCQB: TAUG) (“Tauriga”).

Aegea has produced the initial prototypes of the portable, disposable devices for the Lateral Flow COVID-19 Test.  Initial testing of the device has been successful. The Lateral Flow COVID-19 Test device is designed to collect saliva samples directly into a small disposable unit and to use microfluidics to automatically move the sample and reagents into a central processing chamber within the device to perform the capture and isothermal amplification of certain nucleic-acid targets associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19).  The results are planned to be read-out visually within about 30 minutes.

Importantly, to continue to expedite the development and commercialization of the Lateral Flow COVID-19 Test, Aegea has hired Dr. George Maltezos as Chief Engineer.  Dr. Maltezos is a PhD electrical engineer and entrepreneur. He previously served as Director of the California Institute of Technology (“Caltech”) Global Health Initiative where he helped secure $4.5 Million of funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (“Gates Foundation”) under their Grand Challenges Program for a Point-of-Care Clinical Diagnostics Solution for Developing Countries.  Previously, Dr. Maltezos was Founder & Chief Engineer of Helixis, Inc. and launched the Eco real-time PCR device, enabling accessible, best-in-class, nucleic acid amplification. Helixis was acquired in 2010 by Illumina Inc. for $105 million. Dr. Maltezos is an inventor or co-inventor on 19 issued US patents, and he earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology and his BS from Columbia University.

“We are very pleased with the progress we are making on our point of care, lateral flow coronavirus test,” said Lyle Arnold, Ph.D., Aegea’s President and CEO. “Our isothermal, lateral flow test can be transformational because it should make coronavirus testing significantly more accessible and convenient by utilizing saliva samples combined with very simple devices for amplification and detection. Furthermore, Dr. Maltezos has the ideal knowledge and experience to lead the development of this point-of-care test.”

Tauriga’s CEO, Mr. Seth Shaw, states, “Tauriga is delighted with Aegea’s progress and innovation.  We have already received strong interest regarding the lateral flow coronavirus test, and we believe the test will address an urgent market need and potentially be a tool for helping to control disease spread.”
