"It was an honour to present at the BIOFLORIDA event at the Research Park especially given that Pivotal's regional product commercialization and distribution will be centered in Boca Raton." said Dr. Jackowski. "We are very proud to have been accepted into the Florida community where we will be launching our lead therapeutic, VASCAZENTM, in Orlando, Florida at the American Heart Association's (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2011 this November."
In June 2011, Pivotal announced the opening of its US Headquarters at the Research Park at FAU. The Florida Atlantic Research Park is Florida's top destination for technology companies to thrive collaborating with the region's premier research university. Located adjacent to the main campus of FAU, the Park is in close proximity to Scripps Florida, Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, the world-renowned Harbor Branch Research Centre.
"Given the exciting developments at the Company as we move towards VASCAZEN'sTM North American product launch this fall, it is our intent to keep the research and investment communities apprised of Pivotal's progress," says Eugene Bortoluzzi, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. "As part of those plans Pivotal will also be presenting at the prestigious Rodman & Renshaw Annual Global Investment Conference on September 13th in New York."
The Canadian launch of VASCAZENTM at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress Vancouver 2011, hosted by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society & the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, will take place from October 22 - 26 at the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, Canada.
