SOUTH EASTON, Mass., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PBIO) ("PBI" or the "Company") today announced that the Company's pressure cycling technology ("PCT") was highlighted in five separate podium presentations at the Fifth International Conference on High Pressure Bioscience and Biotechnology ("HPBB"), held from September 15-19, 2008 in San Diego, CA. The HPBB Conference was attended by nearly 100 high pressure research scientists from government, academic, and industry laboratories from around the world. PBI was one of several sponsors to support the meeting.

Dr. Nathan Lawrence, Vice President of Marketing for PBI said: "We are very pleased to have been prominently featured at a conference of world class scientists working in applications of high pressure. In addition to two presentations by PBI scientists, three other talks were presented by users of the PCT Sample Preparation System. Dr. Bradford Powell of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) was selected to give an opening scientific presentation entitled "Use of Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT) in Sample Decontamination and Biomolecule Extraction for Analysis of the Anthrax Spore Proteome." In addition, Dr. Daniel Lopez-Ferrer of Pacific Northwest National Laboratories (PNNL) discussed the significant advantages offered by PCT in the study of proteins in his presentation entitled "Application of Pressure for Ultra Fast Protein Digestion in Proteomics." Finally, Dr. Yiping Cao of the Southern California Water Research Project (SCWRP) gave a presentation entitled "Comparison of Pressure Cycling and Bead Beating Technologies for DNA Extraction from Polycarbonate Membranes for Water Quality Analysis."
