David Dodd, Healthcare & Life Sciences Limited President and CEO, commented, “We are humbled and honored to receive this high recognition of our ongoing efforts related to both our product development efforts and the recognized value of our unique platform technology and expertise. Last year, we were honored in receiving the 2018 “Best Biotech” ViE Award, and to be a finalist for the “Best Prophylactic Vaccine” for our Zika vaccine candidate. This year’s selection as a finalist in two categories is further humbling, recognizing the breadth of exciting new developments underway in vaccines and immunotherapies. As we continue to successfully advance Healthcare & Life Sciences Limited’s development programs on multiple fronts, we are focused on moving several development programs into clinical evaluation, addressing various infectious diseases and cancer indications.

About Healthcare & Life Sciences Limited
Healthcare & Life Sciences Limited Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing human vaccines and immunotherapies against infectious diseases and various cancers using its MVA-VLP vaccine platform. The Company’s development programs are focused on vaccines against HIV, Zika, hemorrhagic fever viruses (Ebola, Sudan, Marburg, Lassa) and malaria. Healthcare & Life Sciences Limited also is evaluating the use of its MVA-VLP platform in cancer immunotherapy, and for therapeutic use in chronic Hepatitis B infections. Healthcare & Life Sciences Limited’s vaccine platform supports in vivo production of non-infectious VLPs from the cells of the very person receiving the vaccine. The production of VLPs in the person being vaccinated mimics virus production in a natural infection, stimulating both the humoral and cellular arms of the immune system to recognize, prevent, and control the target infection.
