CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 29, 2022– Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American and TASE: LCTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic cell therapies for unmet medical needs, today announced that Brian M. Culley, Lineage’s Chief Executive Officer, will present at the BTIG Virtual Ophthalmology Day, on November 29, 2022 at 12:00pm Eastern Time, in a fireside chat hosted by Yun Zhong, Ph.D., Director, Biotech Equity Research at BTIG. Mr. Culley will also be presenting at Cantor Fitzgerald’s Medical & Aesthetic Dermatology, Ophthalmology & MedTech Conference on December 8, 2022 at 1:45pm Eastern as part of the “Ophthalmology Panel, Vision For The Future: Dry AMD, Other Greenfield Opportunities, and Late-Stage Stories To Shake Things Up”. The panel will be hosted by Jennifer Kim, Vice President, Equity Research at Cantor Fitzgerald, and the conference is taking place at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel, December 7-8, 2022.
“I look forward to the opportunity to discuss the evolving landscape in dry AMD, a disease for which there are currently no FDA-approved therapies and which has attracted significant investor attention as of late,” stated Brian M. Culley, Lineage CEO. “Atrophic AMD is a progressive disease that if left untreated can ultimately rob a person of their vision. It is increasingly positive for patients that new potential therapies for dry AMD are attracting mainstream interest, and I am excited at how a cell transplant approach can be more prominently featured in such conversations.”

About Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc.
Lineage Cell Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel cell therapies for unmet medical needs. Lineage’s programs are based on its robust proprietary cell-based therapy platform and associated in-house development and manufacturing capabilities. With this platform Lineage develops and manufactures specialized, terminally differentiated human cells from its pluripotent and progenitor cell starting materials. These differentiated cells are developed to either replace or support cells that are dysfunctional or absent due to degenerative disease or traumatic injury or administered as a means of helping the body mount an effective immune response to cancer. Lineage’s clinical and preclinical programs are in markets with billion dollar opportunities and include five allogeneic (“off-the-shelf”) product candidates: (i) OpRegen, a retinal pigment epithelial cell therapy in Phase 2a development for the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration, is being developed under a worldwide collaboration with Roche and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group; (ii) OPC1, an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell therapy in Phase 1/2a development for the treatment of acute spinal cord injuries; (iii) VAC2, a dendritic cell therapy produced from Lineage’s VAC technology platform for immuno-oncology and infectious disease, currently in Phase 1 clinical development for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer; (iv) ANP1, an auditory neuronal progenitor cell therapy for the potential treatment of auditory neuropathy; and (v) PNC1, a photoreceptor neural cell therapy for the potential treatment of vision loss due to photoreceptor dysfunction or damage.
