(NYSE:OGEN) ("the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing intranasal therapeutics for neurological disorders, today announced its participation at the SCOPE Summit 2026, the 17th annual conference organized by the Cambridge Healthtech Institute. SCOPE (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) is a clinical research conference being held February 2–5, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.
"Oragenics is excited to participate in one of the premier global conferences for clinical operations and optimal trial execution — a timely event as we approach the Phase 2a clinical trial of our first-of-its-kind concussion therapeutic in Australia," said Janet Huffman, Chief Executive Officer.
