"The strong preclinical success of our nanoviricides pandemic influenza drug candidates, FluCide-HP ™ and AviFluCide ™ has generated significant interest," reports Dr. Anil R. Diwan, President of the Company, adding further, "The broad-spectrum antivirals including FluCide-I ™ that we are developing now, as well as our novel Flexible Biosecurity 'Just-In-Time Accurate Drug' platform technology will be extremely valuable to overall national biosecurity."

Approximately fifteen companies presented in the Therapeutics section. NanoViricides, Inc. was the only nanomedicine-based antiviral therapeutics company at the Industry Day.
