Seven Presentations by Two Independent Research Groups Highlight Advantages of Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT) at Scientific Symposia in Philadelphia, Boston, and New...( SOUTH EASTON Mass. May 21 /- Pres...),Health

SOUTH EASTON, Mass., May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PBIO) ("PBI") today announced that scientists from the New York University (NYU) School of Medicine, the Brooklyn Hospital Center, and the Harvard School of Public Health made presentations highlighting the advantages of the Company's patented pressure cycling technology (PCT) at three different scientific meetings earlier this week. There were three oral presentations and four poster presentations, all relating to research studies focused on cancer, stroke, obesity, biomarker discovery, and in-vitro fertilization.

BIOMARKER WORLD CONGRESS 2008 (Philadelphia, PA). Dr. Paul Pevsner (NYU School of Medicine) gave an oral presentation on Monday, May 19th on colon cancer. PCT was used by Dr. Pevsner and colleagues to extract proteins from colon tissue samples prior to analysis. Dr. Pevsner reported that new and additional proteins were extracted with PCT when compared to conventional extraction methods. Dr. Pevsner also reported that he and his colleagues were able to reduce the time required for preparing these proteins with trypsin for further analysis from 12 hours to under 45 minutes by using PCT, which he stated was a significant advantage over current techniques. Dr. Pevsner concluded that a change in the current paradigm of tumor diagnosis and staging may be needed, a paradigm in which PCT may play a pivotal role given the power of the technique to efficiently extract proteins from tissue samples and to subsequently quickly prepare them for downstream analysis.

GETTING OPTIMIZED TOOLS FOR DIAGNOSTICS (GOT Summit 2008 - Boston, MA). Dr. Alexander Ivanov (Harvard School of Public Health) gave an oral presentation on Tuesday, May 20th on
