PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / April 11, 2019 / Uptick Newswire Stock Day Podcast welcomed Precision Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: AIPT) ("the Company"), a company with business lines that include applying artificial intelligence to personalized medicine and drug discovery to provide personalized medicine solutions for patients and clinicians as well as clients in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and biotech industries; and the production and sales of the FDA-approved automated STREAMWAY® System, a direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal system. CEO and Director, Dr. Carl Schwartz, joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly.
To begin the interview, Jolly asked Dr. Schwartz to provide some background information about the Company. Dr. Schwartz explained that the Company has four rapidly growing divisions, including Skyline Medical, Tumor Genesis, and Helomics Corporation. "We are excited about each of these divisions and their rapid growth as we continue to execute on our business strategy," stated Dr. Schwartz.
Dr. Schwartz then shared exciting new developments for their Skyline Medical division and explained that the Company has recently expanded the staff of their domestic sales force. Dr. Schwartz also added that the Company has established its international headquarters in Belgium and now has distributors and sales representatives in over 20 countries. Recently, Skyline Medical even received word that India has made the use of their technology mandatory in all hospitals.
"We have been receiving orders for our machines from around the world," added Dr. Schwartz. He continued to explain that the Company has made significant improvements to their sales and marketing approach, which is reflected by their increased revenues.
Dr. Schwartz then updated listeners on the Company's division, Tumor Genesis. He stated, "Tumor Genesis was formed to create a new approach to grow tumors outside of the body, in which the tumor is fooled into thinking it is still in the body and acts and responds much more naturally to stimuli, such as drugs". He continued to explain that this approach is intended to be used in the development of treatments for ovarian tumors and that the Company is moving forward rapidly with this approach.
Dr. Schwartz continued by sharing more information about the Company's newest subsidiary, Helomics Corporation. He explained that this subsidiary is extremely valuable due to the drug response data it can provide regarding tumors, especially ovarian tumors. Helomics also provides this information to referring oncologists in an effort to create a more individualized treatment program for each patient. With the wealth of information provided by Helomics, the Company plans to use this data to assist in the development of new therapies.
"AIPT is determined to bring real hope to thousands of women with these tumors. The entire focus of both Helomics and Tumor Genesis is ovarian cancer," added Dr. Schwartz.
Dr. Schwartz then expanded on the experienced team behind the Company, which is full of industry leading experts.
Jolly then noted that the Company has experienced massive revenue growth between 2017 and 2018 and asked what lead to this substantial increase. Jolly also asked Dr. Schwartz about recent international agreements. Dr. Schwartz explained that the increased revenues reflect the Company's increasing machine sales, as well as new practices with their disposables. He then shared that the Company has expanded into Australia, which has shown great excitement for the use of the Company's technology and its potential.
"All of our divisions are solid. Their approach is accurate. We should begin to see really solid results in the very near future," closed Dr. Schwartz.
