SARASOTA, Fla., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oragenics, Inc. (NYSE American: OGEN), a biotechnology company advancing novel intranasal therapies for concussion and brain-related conditions, today announced its participation in the 15th Annual Traumatic Brain Injury Conference, taking place May 5-6, 2025 in Boston, MA.

Hosted by Arrowhead Sci-Tech Conferences & Events, the Annual Traumatic Brain Injury Conference brings together global leaders from academia, industry, government, and the military to share the latest advancements in TBI research and clinical care.

Oragenics will be represented by Dr. W. Frank Peacock, MD, FACEP, FACC, FESC, Chief Clinical Officer of Oragenics and Professor, Vice Chair for Research at Baylor College of Medicine, presenting, “An Update on HeadSMART II: Advancing Precision Strategies for Traumatic Brain Injury Detection and Management”.
