bioAffinity Technologies Announces New U.S. Patent for Novel Broad Spectrum Cancer Therapeutics
Simultaneous siRNA Knockdown of Specific Cell Receptors Shown to Selectively Kill Cancer Company Research Targets Topical Application for Treatment of Skin Cancers SAN ANTONIO, May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company advancing noninvasive diagnostics and targeted therapeutics for cancer, today announced the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a new patent covering a novel composition and method for selectively killing cancer by targeting the CD320 and LRP2 receptors on the cell membrane. The patent, "Compositions and Methods for Treating Cancer," (Patent No. 12,305,171) provides for use of the novel therapeutic approach with cancers of the lung, breast, prostate, brain and skin. Research has begun toward development of a topical treatment for cutaneous malignancies and neoplasms of the skin. The therapeutic patent is an important addition to bioAffinity Technologies' patent portfolio, which includes 19 awarded U.S. and foreign patents and 36 pending patent applications related to its diagnostic platform and cancer treatment therapeutics. The invention uses small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to suppress the expression of CD320 and LRP2 proteins. In vitro studies demonstrated that the double knockdown of the proteins using siRNAs is selectively cytotoxic to human cancer cells but does not kill normal cells under the same treatment. "The cancer cells killed by this discovery were not selected on the basis of any characteristic or biomarker, and the effect appears to be quite general," said William Bauta, PhD, Chief Science Officer at bioAffinity Technologies. "We believe our research has discovered a fundamental vulnerability of cancer that could be leveraged for new, highly selective therapies." In vitro studies demonstrated that when only one of the receptors was down regulated, there was an increase in protein expression in the other receptor. The double knockdown of CD320 and LRP2 is required to kill cancer cells or significantly inhibit their proliferation. "This patent marks a significant advancement in our therapeutic pipeline as well as our intellectual property portfolio," said Maria Zannes, President and CEO of bioAffinity Technologies. "This discovery is a continuation of the scientific curiosity that led to our CyPath® Lung diagnostic for early-stage lung cancer and opens a potential new path to precision treatment across multiple cancer types. Our first target is developing a topical treatment for skin cancer."

bioAffinity Technologies Appoints Dr. Gordon Downie, MD, PhD, as Chief Medical Officer
SAN ANTONIO, May 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company focused on the need for noninvasive, accurate tests for the detection of early-stage cancer, today announced the appointment of Gordon Downie, MD, PhD, as its new Chief Medical Officer (CMO). Dr. Downie brings more than three decades of experience in pulmonary medicine, clinical research, medical innovation, and interventional pulmonology to the role. Dr. Downie has authored more than 30 peer-reviewed publications, many centered on innovation in bronchoscopy, early lung cancer diagnosis and medical device development. He has worked extensively in both academic medicine and private practice, led FDA-approved research programs, and served in national leadership roles with the American College of Chest Physicians in the areas of interventional pulmonology, lung cancer, and medical ethics. "It's a privilege to join bioAffinity at such a pivotal time," Dr. Downie said. "I've seen firsthand in my practice the need for a noninvasive, accurate and real-time diagnostic for lung cancer. I believe CyPath® Lung is particularly useful in managing indeterminate lung nodules by filling a critical gap in clinical decision-making. I'm excited by the opportunity to expand access to this innovative technology that can save lives." In 2007, Dr. Downie left academia and opened a pulmonology practice in rural East Texas, an underserved area with limited access to healthcare. The lack of pulmonary care is exacerbated by an aging population and rising rates of lung disease, including COPD. Most recently, he was the Director of the Lung Nodule Clinic and Interventional Pulmonology at Titus Regional Medical Center. Dr. Downie earned his PhD in experimental pathology from the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY Buffalo) and his medical degree from Northwestern University. He completed residency and fellowship training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and subsequently served on the faculty at SUNY Buffalo and the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. "Dr. Downie brings a rare blend of clinical excellence, research insight, and innovation in delivery of care," said Maria Zannes, President and CEO of bioAffinity Technologies. "His depth of experience in interventional pulmonology and his passion for early cancer detection make him the ideal leader to guide our clinical strategy as we scale CyPath® Lung and expand our diagnostic platform to additional diseases." Prior to pursuing his career in medicine, Dr. Downie was an Olympic bronze medalist at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal as part of Great Britain's men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay swim team. He also won silver and bronze medals at the 1975 World Aquatics Championships and was a four-time NCAA All-American swimmer for the University of Michigan. "It's that same spirit of commitment and discipline that has made Dr. Downie a world-class physician respected by his peers throughout the country," Ms. Zannes said. "We are delighted to welcome him to bioAffinity."
