Matinas BioPharma Holdings, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying and developing safe and effective therapeutics for the treatment of serious and life-threatening infections, today announced that it has been selected as a Cavendish Innovation Partner and will present at the Cavendish Global Health Impact Forum co-hosted by The Cleveland Clinic, which takes place October 25th to October 28th at The Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.
The purpose of the Forum is to help family offices and foundations develop and implement their individual pro-social impact investing, grant-giving, and philanthropy programs within health and the life sciences. To accomplish this mission, the Forum showcases presentations and panel discussions by leading family offices, accomplished foundations, research institutions, and private-sector companies engaged in developing innovations with the potential for transformational impact on disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment. A unique gathering of family offices, Cavendish Impact Forums are hosted by leading institutions around the world and take place three times each year. The next Forum is being co-hosted by The Cleveland Clinic and Cleveland Clinic Innovations.
Michael Moffat, Cavendish co-founder and Chief Executive Officer explains, “The theme of our Cleveland Clinic hosted Forum is a ‘Celebration of Philanthropy, Impact Investing and Innovation that is Changing the World.’ With the help of our expert advisors, we conduct a global search of research institutions and private-sector companies in order to identify organizations that meet the required standard of excellence. The quality and originality of Matinas BioPharma’s research and scientific insights in the utilization of lipid-crystal, nanoparticle cochleate drug formulations have the potential to transform the way potent medicines are administered, providing physicians and patients with more tolerable, safer, effective and powerful anti-infective options and positions them to make a major contribution to the battle against the growing global multi-drug resistant ‘superbug’ public health threat.”
“We are honored to be selected as a Cavendish Global Innovation Partner and to present at this unique event,” added Jerome D. Jabbour, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of Matinas BioPharma. “Our selection is further recognition of our innovative approach to nano-encapsulating existing drugs to formulate safe and effective broad spectrum anti-infective therapies to treat serious and life-threatening infections on a global basis. We welcome this opportunity to introduce our disruptive and potentially transformational products and platform technology to many of world’s most accomplished scientists, thought-leaders and generous philanthropic individuals and families who are all dedicated to the common cause of improving the health and lives of people around the world.”
