Recent Company Highlights

• Pressure Cycling Technology ("PCT") Platform
  - Entered into a worldwide, co-marketing alliance with Leica Microsystems (a Danaher company), integrating PBI's PCT platform with Leica's Laser Microdissection platform.  This combination of platforms results in a tumor processing workflow that offers the potential to accelerate and enhance cancer R&D
  - PBI and privately held RedShiftBio demonstrated the potential of combining proprietary technologies to enable a new tool for the development and production of biotherapeutics
  - Multiple presentations and publications worldwide highlighted the advantages of the PCT platform in the preparation of samples to study diseases and disorders, including infectious diseases (e.g., COVID-19)
• BaroFold Technology ("BaroFold") Platform
  - Working with two biopharma companies to determine if the patented BaroFold platform could significantly impact and improve the quality of their early-stage protein therapeutics  
  - Discussions underway with potential CRO and CMO partners for the expansion of our BaroFold services
• Ultra Shear Technology ("UST") Platform
  - Awarded first U.S. patent for novel, proprietary UST Platform
  - Planned launch of UST-based BaroShear K45 Nanoemulsification System for mid-2021
  - UST could revolutionize processing of immiscible liquids (e.g., oils in water) into water-soluble, long-term stable, highly absorbable, innately bioavailable nanoemulsions

About Pressure BioSciences, Inc.

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) is a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based solutions for the worldwide life sciences and other industries. Our products are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure cycling technology, or PCT) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to safely and reproducibly control bio-molecular interactions (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). Our primary focus is the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil & plant biology, forensics, and counter-bioterror applications. Additionally, major new market opportunities have emerged in the use of our pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of our recently acquired, patented technology from BaroFold, Inc. (the "BaroFold" technology) to allow entry into the bio-pharma contract services sector, and (2) the use of our recently-patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear Technology ("UST") platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) and to (ii) prepare higher quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room temperature stable low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies.
