Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 14, 2025) - Marvel Biosciences Corp. (TSXV: MRVL) (OTCQB: MBCOF), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Marvel Biotechnology Inc. (collectively "Marvel" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has been invited to present its latest research findings at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC), taking place in July 2025.
The Company will present preclinical data from its acute Alzheimer's disease study, conducted in collaboration with Professor Emmanuel Planel, a global expert in tau pathology. This research demonstrated MB-204's ability to significantly reduce tau hyperphosphorylation in mice - a core aspect of Alzheimer's disease - highlighting MB-204's potential as a disease-modifying therapy.
"We are honoured to be presenting at the world's leading forum for Alzheimer's research," said Dr. Mark Williams, Chief Scientific Officer of Marvel Biosciences. "Our data suggest MB-204 may offer a novel approach to targeting tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease."

In addition to the acute study findings, Marvel is currently conducting a chronic Alzheimer's disease study in the 5xFAD model, supported by a grant from Alberta Innovates. This ongoing study will evaluate MB-204's effect on cognition, behavior, and disease pathology in a validated mouse model. Results are expected in Q3 2025.
