(Nasdaq: PROG), a biotechnology company innovating in the field of oral biotherapeutics for gastrointestinal health and beyond, today announced that it will change its name to Biora Therapeutics, Inc. during the second quarter of 2022, to better reflect the company’s focus on developing its pipeline for targeted and systemic oral delivery of biotherapeutics.
“As we complete our strategic transformation, we are launching Biora Therapeutics to reflect our mission going forward, which is to reimagine therapeutics and their delivery,” said Adi Mohanty, Chief Executive Officer. “By creating innovative smart pills designed for targeted drug delivery to the GI tract and for systemic, needle-free delivery of biotherapeutics, we are developing therapies to improve patients’ lives.”
