miR Scientific Named a Finalist in the Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — miR Scientific LLC, a precision biosciences company committed to transforming cancer management announced today that it has been selected as a finalist in the Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020, a peer-reviewed awards program from the publisher of Fierce Biotech and Fierce Pharma. miR Scientific was recognized as a Finalist in the category of Medical Device Innovation for its revolutionary liquid biopsy urine test that can accurately detect and grade prostate cancer non-invasively.

The competition highlights companies that demonstrate innovative life sciences solutions, technologies, and services that have the potential to make the greatest impact.

The miR Sentinel Prostate Test solves an acute real-world problem involving the disease management of prostate cancer, a screened disease that represents the highest number of new cancer cases diagnosed annually and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the US.

The current standard of care for the diagnosis of prostate cancer relies on inaccurate PSA blood tests to trigger very invasive, high risk and costly core needle biopsies, which for the most part are unnecessary. Current standards are utilized by less than half of the age-eligible male population in the US, further compounding health inequity and the opportunity to identify dangerous cancers earlier to allow for better outcomes.

The innovative Sentinel Prostate Test developed by miR Scientific is non-invasive and can, with over 90% accuracy, detect prostate cancer as well as classify the risk category of malignancies based on a single urine specimen and without the need for invasive biopsies.

The awards program’s applications were reviewed by an exclusive panel of executives from major biotech and pharma companies including Astellas, Accenture, AstraZeneca, Angiocrine Bioscience, Biotech Research Group, NIHR Clinical Research Network, Medidata Solutions and PPD. All applications were evaluated based on the following criteria: effectiveness, technical innovation, competitive advantage, financial impact, and true innovation. A full list of judges can be found at https://fiercelifesciencesawards.secure-platform.com/a/page/judges

Winners will be announced in the 2020 Innovation Report set to publish by Fierce Life Sciences on September 14, 2020.

«We are honored by the decision of the award committee to select miR Scientific as a Finalist for the Fierce Innovation Awards – Life Sciences Edition 2020» said Sam Salman, Chairman and CEO of miR Scientific. «Our miR Sentinel Prostate Test powers a comprehensive disease management platform that is accurate, non-invasive, standalone and scalable. As a result, our platform provides clear and actionable answers to the most pressing questions that are on every patient and provider’s mind: Is cancer present and if so, how severe is it and what is next. Our technology can achieve quick and accurate answers to all of these questions from a single urine specimen, which should empower far broader engagement with all eligible men, including tens of millions of men who are not currently receiving the potentially life-saving benefits of early detection. Aided by our proactive engagement with the urology and oncology communities, we have developed a game-changing technology that we are confident will forever change the standard of care for urological cancers.» Mr. Salman added that «miR Scientific is an impact minded organization and we believe this technology is poised to improve the lives of millions of men worldwide. Awareness and recognition are the first steps in the long road to broad adoption of innovative technologies, so we are thankful to the award committee for naming us a finalist for the prestigious Fierce Innovation Award – Life Sciences Edition 2020.»

The miR Sentinel Test is expected to be commercially available in the United States later this year and in select markets in Europe and Asia beginning in 2021.

About miR Scientific: miR Scientific, LLC is a precision bioscience company that is committed to transforming cancer management globally. The Company has developed a proprietary, non-invasive platform for the effective disease management of urological cancers. The platform is powered by the miR Sentinel Prostate test, a liquid biopsy urine test that can accurately detect, classify, and monitor prostate cancer based on the interrogation of small-non-coding RNAs extracted from urinary exosomes. miR Scientific is the only company with the interoperable products and services necessary to revolutionize the standards of care supporting urologic oncology. Such new standards are much needed given the debilitating prevalence and disease burden of prostate and bladder cancers globally.

McLean Packaging Commits to Completely Renewable Energy

MOORESTOWN, N.J., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — McLean Packaging, a turnkey provider of rigid set boxes, folding cartons, corrugated displays, and thermoformed packaging solutions with emphasis on the beauty and personal care sectors, has contracted with national energy advisory firm 5 and ENGIE Resources LLC on a five-year energy agreement that supports the development of renewables. The deal supports McLean’s zero-carbon transition and sustainability goals, which include…

McLean Packaging’s manufacturing footprint is robust – the company has three production facilities across New Jersey and Pennsylvania totaling nearly half a million square feet – making its commitment to 100% green energy substantial. McLean utilizes a lengthy lineup of sophisticated equipment – including industrial printing presses, folder/gluers, thermoformers, rigid box converters, and more – to meet its growing demands for concept-to-completion packaging solutions for customers in the beauty, personal care, confectionary, and other sectors.

McLean’s usage will be 100% matched by Green-e® certified Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), as determined by the Center for Resource Solutions. The independently verified credits play a critical role in making green power possible for electricity consumers nationwide, by providing revenue to support new projects. The RECs in this agreement include offshore wind credits, representing environmental benefits equal to removing more than 6,500 gasoline-powered passenger cars from U.S. roads.

«From installing more than 75,000 solar panels to utilizing paper products certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and Sustainable Forest Initiative, sustainability has been at the forefront of McLean Packaging’s operations for years,» said Jeff Besnick, Vice President of McLean Packaging. «As consumers continue to demand products that espouse eco-friendliness, we are proud to play our part in providing packaging with as small a carbon footprint as possible – from power sourcing to materials.»

McLean also is committing to a program of perpetual progress in sustainability via expert consulting. 5’s team will continue to provide market intelligence, account management services, and ongoing analysis to support McLean Packaging’s commitment to environmental stewardship and energy cost control. ENGIE Resources brings a successful history of assisting clients in meeting sustainability goals through the use of clean, affordable, innovative, and resilient energy solutions.

About McLean Packaging
Established in 1961, McLean Packaging is a turnkey provider of packaging solutions for the beauty, personal care, confectionary, and other sectors. Comprising over 200 employees across three facilities totaling nearly 500,000 square feet, the company specializes in rigid set boxes, folding cartons, corrugated displays, and thermoformed solutions. Unlike many packaging solutions suppliers, McLean’s continued investment in gluing, printing, and other ancillary infrastructure allows it to create packages entirely within its own organization – a differentiator that yields efficiency, consistency, and streamlined customer collaboration.

McLean Packaging is headquartered in Moorestown, NJ, with additional production facilities in Pennsauken, NJ and Nazareth, PA. For more information, visit www.McLeanPackaging.com.

About 5
Founded in 2011, 5 comprises a team of energy innovators, commodity traders, analysts, engineers and former energy supplier executives. Together they serve a broad array of private and public sector clients throughout the United States and Mexico, providing strategic advice on energy-related matters including procurement, rate optimization, risk management, demand-side management, renewable power, and distributed generation.
