EV Biologics Launches Excyte with $100 million Valuation

TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2022 / EV Biologics Corp, OTC Pink: YECO, today announced that it has launched Excyte, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, with $100 Million valuation.

Excyte has already raised $500,000 of its $2.5 million initial capitalization goal. This funding will initially provide scale-down biomanufacturing process development and important bioanalytical data to advance EV Biologics' ongoing nanotherapeutic development.

Funds allocated to comparative evaluation of small-scale automated bioreactor platforms will enable development of scalable biomanufacturing of stem cell-derived nanotherapeutics. The remainder of these funds will be allocated to analysis of the biomolecular composition and the biological activity of the composite secretome products and constituent vesicular and non-vesicular nanoparticle fractions produced by mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) banks already isolated and expanded by EV Biologics.

Excyte is founded on the idea that potent biotherapeutics and a deeper understanding of health, disease and aging can be obtained from living cells. Our mission is to further the understanding of the complex interactions between the multiplex of functional biomolecules that comprise cell-derived nanotherapeutics and the interconnected cellular pathways of biological systems in disease and aging. The Company will be focused on innovation in biomanufacturing, bioengineering, bioanalytics and machine learning toward a versatile platform for on-demand precision nanotherapeutic development for any clinical indication.

CEO, Daniel Mckinney, said "Our audacious goal is to unravel the complex mechanisms of stem cell therapy and apply this understanding to recreate defined regenerative therapeutics. Our innovative approach to longevity will use a multi-functional nanotherapeutic platform to deliver the right bioactive molecules to diseased, damaged, or aging cells to restore health, combat aging and provide a longer health span. Simply put, our goal is the ‘Fountain of Youth'".

Excyte joins a narrow field of notable biotechnology ventures focused on longevity and extending the human health span, such as Altos Labs (https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/a-3bn-bet-on-finding-the-fountain-of-youth/21807244) and Retro Biosciences (https://www.biospace.com/article/retro-biosciences-launches-with-180-million-to-increase-healthy-human-lifespan-by-10-years-/?s=89).

Excyte will take a very pragmatic approach to innovation in the longevity space with accelerated development of products and technologies that can be further commercialized in parallel with its primary development pathway. The Company will use virtual infrastructure and collaboration with best-in-class commercial partners to execute its biotechnology innovations and minimize capital requirements and operating costs. Intellectual property, patents, proprietary process and product development will be held by Excyte in support of EV Biologics.
