The presentation will focus on the continuing progress of Anixa's Cchek(TM) technology that combines the fields of flow cytometry with artificial intelligence, featuring new data and insights into its application for early prostate cancer detection.

"We are pleased to continue presenting data, on our liquid biopsy technology for early cancer detection, as we progress toward the launch of our first commercial test for prostate cancer," stated Amit Kumar, PhD, President and CEO of Anixa Biosciences.

About Anixa Biosciences, Inc.
Anixa is a publicly-traded biotechnology company focused on harnessing the body's immune system in the fight against cancer. Anixa is developing a cancer immunotherapy program, which uses chimeric endocrine receptor t-cell (CER-T) technology, a novel type of CAR-T. It is also developing the Cchek(TM) liquid biopsy technology, a series of inexpensive non-invasive blood tests for early detection of solid tumors based on the body's immune response to the presence of a malignancy. This technology enables cancer detection in its earliest stages in efforts to treat patients when the disease is most curable. Additional information is available at www.anixa.com.
