TRENTON, NJ (May 17, 2022) - BioNJ announced the winners of its 2022 Company and Pitch Presentation Competition held in conjunction with the organization's 12th Annual BioPartnering Conference. The week-long Conference kicked off with an in-person Networking Reception at The Liberty House in Jersey City on the evening of Monday, May 9, 2022, followed by a two-day virtual program on Tuesday, May 10, and Wednesday, May 11, 2022, featuring interactive plenary sessions, networking and company and pitch presentations. Partnering meetings took place the entire week.
Presented in concert with J.P. Morgan and Johnson & Johnson Innovation, the Conference brought together more than 500 life sciences professionals from 11 countries and 18 states as well as the District of Columbia — and attracted over 100 investors.
More than 50 emerging and start-up companies gave company presentations looking for possible partners and investors to help bring their medical innovation to Patients around the world. In keeping with tradition, one company from each presentation track was recognized with a BioPartnering Company Presentation Award, sponsored by BioNJ Member EisnerAmper. Winners were determined by Judges based on market opportunity, unmet need, overall innovation, differentiation and IP.
The 2022 Company and Pitch Presentation Award Honorees are:

Genetika+ presented by Talia Cohen Solal, Ph.D., CEO & Co-Founder
