VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 17, 2016) - BIOASIS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (OTCQB: BIOAF) (TSX VENTURE: BTI), a pioneering biopharmaceutical company focused on overcoming the limitations of therapeutic drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), announced today that it will be presenting at the BIO International Convention in San Francisco on June 7, 2016.

biOasis has been asked to participate in a session entitled, "Delivering Across the Blood-Brain Barrier - Crossing the Final Frontier." Dr. Reinhard Gabathuler, Chief Scientist at biOasis, will be presenting the latest developments regarding the biOasis Transcend technology and its application for delivering biotherapeutic agents across the blood brain barrier.

Rob Hutchison, biOasis CEO, stated, "When asked by Janssen Biotherapeutics to participate in this session on the delivery of biotherapeutics across the BBB, we were very happy to do so. biOasis has significant experience in addressing this challenge of delivery of biotherapeutics to the brain. With our Transcend technology, we have demonstrated brain penetration with a range of difficult biological payloads such as enzymes, antibodies and oligonucleotides. We believe Transcend can play a major role in enabling these treatments to reach the brain in therapeutic doses, which has not been achieved previously. This will assist in treating the CNS or brain complications of many dreadful diseases."
