VGXI to Manufacture Vaccine Against Novel Coronavirus Under CEPI Funded Collaboration

Leave a comment


VGXI Logo

The DNA vaccine manufacturing platform developed by VGXI is an ideal countermeasure against emerging diseases like the current coronavirus outbreak. These vaccines have an extensive safety profile and production can be rapidly scaled-up in response to an epidemic.


THE WOODLANDS, Texas (PRWEB)

VGXI, a world leading contract manufacturer of clinical grade DNA plasmid, announced it will start production of a DNA vaccine against the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) that has recently emerged in Wuhan, China under an agreement executed with Inovio Pharmaceuticals. A grant of up to $9 million from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) will fund the vaccine development, manufacturing, and early stage clinical testing as part of the collaborative effort led by Inovio.

“The DNA vaccine manufacturing platform developed by VGXI is an ideal countermeasure against emerging diseases like the current coronavirus outbreak,” stated VGXI CEO Young Park. “These vaccines have an extensive safety profile and production can be rapidly scaled-up in response to an epidemic. Furthermore, the manufacturing process does not involve production of viral particles or viral proteins, unlike traditional vaccines.”

As of January 29, 2020, over 6,000 cases and 130 deaths from the 2019-nCoV virus have been confirmed across mainland China, with other cases identified in over a dozen countries worldwide including 5 in the US. Travel restrictions are currently in place for nearly 60 million people in China in an effort to control the disease spread. Similar to other viruses in the coronavirus family, 2019-nCoV causes flu-like symptoms with severe respiratory illness and viral pneumonia in some cases.

VGXI has demonstrated its ability to support urgent vaccine development timelines in response to recent outbreaks including Ebola, Zika, and a different coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in collaboration with its partners including Inovio and GeneOne Life Science. Preparations are already underway at VGXI’s facility in The Woodlands, Texas to begin manufacturing of the DNA vaccine against the 2019-nCoV virus.

How To Switch Car Insurance Providers

Leave a comment


News Image

“Drivers should consider the advantages and disadvantages of changing their current insurance provider, before making a decision.”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Changing their insurance provider is a move that drivers have to analyze it carefully. There are many reasons for drivers to change their insurance company, from unfair premiums, up to rude and unsatisfactory customer support. Drivers that want to switch their carriers should consider following these steps:


  • Deciding when to make the move. The ideal time for switching carriers is three to four weeks before policy renewal. This will guarantee the policyholders have enough time to find a policy and to qualify for an early shopper discount.

  • Buy a new policy before canceling the old one. Insurance gaps can be costly, not only when drivers have accidents, but also if their state’s laws penalize registered cars without continuous coverage.

  • Policyholders should consider important life changes. Drivers can change their insurance carrier at any time, but some changes in their lives can make the switch to happen earlier. Important life events, like getting married, moving to a better neighborhood, or the purchase of a better safer vehicle can make the policyholders save money on their premiums.

  • Acknowledge the consequences. Some insurers will charge the policyholders an early cancelation fee. If they stayed with the same insurer for some years, and they decide to cancel their policy, drivers will lose their loyalty discount. Some insurance carriers will offer discounts for new drivers, and a part of the losses that are incurred by switching providers can be compensated.

  • Drivers should consider canceling their old policy in writing. Their old insurance company may ask for the new policy number so that the authorities will know they are continuously covered.

  • Confirm cancelation and ask for a refund. Policyholders should make sure their old insurance company confirms the cancelation. Otherwise, the old insurance company will automatically renew their policy and cancel them for nonpayment. Policyholders can get a refund for their unused premium if they cancel early.

The Success In Trucking Expo Returns to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in June for SITE 2020

Leave a comment


The Success In Trucking Expo, hosted by ES, is returning to Indianapolis June 5-6

Everyone who joins us at the SITE 2020 will be able to see how ES stands with the participants in our program and offers support in both the best of times and the most challenging times for this industry. __ ES CEO Paul Williams


MEMPHIS, Tenn. (PRWEB)

Expediter Services (ES), a leader in capacity solutions and ownership opportunities within the trucking industry, is pleased to announce that the company will once again host the Success In Trucking Expo (SITE). For the second consecutive year, ES has chosen the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Complex as the location for the SITE, which will take place June 5-6.

Through the structure and atmosphere that the event established during its inaugural run in 2019, the SITE stands out when compared to the traditional truck shows currently on the calendar in the overall experience it delivers for those in attendance. Led by the efforts of ES, the participating carriers, sponsors and vendors, the SITE offers a much more personal and hands-on event, providing expert perspective on the state of the industry while offering opportunities to become an entrepreneur and grow a business within trucking. The focus of the SITE 2020 will once again be placed on connecting with professional drivers who are looking to take the next step in their careers and become truck owners. The SITE also offers a platform to help address the needs of contract drivers, owner-operators and fleet owners.

The program format of the SITE, with its speakers, roundtable discussions and chosen topics, is once again being structured to share industry knowledge and practical experience to benefit the attendees as they look to build, upgrade and expand their businesses. ES has established a dedicated website that covers all aspects of the SITE 2020, including registration for the event. The website can be accessed through the following link: https://www.successintruckingexpo.com/

“The Success In Trucking Expo is designed to offer solutions to some of the leading challenges in the trucking market today. Whether it’s access to reliable capacity or connecting people with attainable opportunities for truck ownership and steady business growth for entrepreneurs, the 2020 edition of the SITE will be dedicated to providing helpful insights and innovative answers for people looking to achieve greater levels of success in trucking,” said Paul Williams, the Chief Executive Officer of ES. “We are thrilled to bring the SITE back to the home of the Indy 500, and our ES team is focused on creating a meaningful experience for everyone who joins us. We will have a fast-paced and interesting program at the SITE, which provides opportunities for everyone to learn about our ES Community of support. Everyone who joins us at the SITE 2020 will be able to see how ES stands with the participants in our program and offers support in both the best of times and the most challenging times for this industry.”

One of the most unique features about the SITE is that ES is offering free hotel accommodations and free meals for prequalified expo registrants. A limited number of those slots are available for the event, and attendees receiving them will be chosen from the registration submissions ES receives. The registration form for the event can be accessed through the following link: https://www.successintruckingexpo.com/register

Legendary football coach Bobby Bowden will serve as the keynote speaker on the first day of the SITE 2020. With 377 victories in his career, Bowden is one of the winningest coaches in college football history. From 1976-2009, Bowden led Florida State University, and he built the football program into a perennial powerhouse, winning two national championships and earning 22 postseason bowl victories at the helm of FSU. In his 44 seasons overall as a head football coach, Bowden compiled 40 winning seasons, including 33 straight at FSU.

Off the field, Bowden is the author and co-author of several books, and he has served as a leading voice for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In fact, the FCA has named an annual award in honor of Bowden. The Bobby Bowden Student-Athlete of the Year Award recognizes one college football player for achievements on the field, in the classroom and in the community.

“We are very proud to welcome Coach Bowden as our keynote speaker for this year’s SITE. His record for achieving success on and off the field as well as his dedication to be of service to others during his lifetime are truly inspirational,” said Jason Williams, President of ES. “We are looking forward to hearing what Coach Bowden will be sharing with us at the SITE. We know his message will hit home with everyone in attendance.”

ES is building a comprehensive program for the SITE 2020. The motor carriers and vendors participating in the SITE have been hand-picked by ES because of their desire to help the attendees in reaching their goals within the trucking industry.

Stoops Freightliner-Quality Trailer, a division of Truck Country, will serve as the title sponsor of the SITE for the second straight year. The ES Community motor carriers participating in the SITE are FedEx Custom Critical, Forward Air and Panther Premium Logistics, a Service of ArcBest. These three companies, all of which were part of the SITE 2019, will once again be the exclusive motor carriers at the SITE. 

Daimler Truck Financial, Detroit Diesel, Equinox Owner-Operator Solutions, Freightliner, Love’s Travel Stops, Paccar Financial, Peterbilt Truck Centers, TA-Petro, TVC Pro Driver, Inc., Vanguard Truck Centers, Volvo Financial Services, Western Star, Crosspoint Power and Refrigeration and the Women In Trucking Association served as vendors at the 2019 SITE. ES officials are expecting the return of last year’s vendors as well as other additions for the SITE 2020.

In addition to the keynote speech by Coach Bowden, the SITE 2020 will feature industry leaders and subject-matter experts sharing their insights through both presentations and discussions. Women In Trucking Association President and CEO Ellen Voie is a part of the speakers list for the SITE 2020 program currently in development by ES.

In November of 2017, ES partnered with the Women In Trucking Association to launch the 150 Business Challenge, a collaborative initiative between the two organizations to create 150 women-owned businesses in transportation. Over the past two-plus years, the 150 Business Challenge is fast approaching 100 new trucking start-ups as a result of participation in the program, which offers an attainable path to financing as well as operational and business support for women who have an interest in a career path within the trucking industry.

Leah Shaver, the Chief Operating Officer of the National Transportation Institute, is one of the industry experts who will be a part of the SITE 2020. Shaver also serves as a host on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Radio Channel, and she is a member of the Women In Trucking Association’s Board of Directors. She recently participated in the ES Success In Trucking Podcast, discussing changes in the market since the record year of 2018 along with the realities owner-operators often face when launching or attempting to grow a trucking business. During the podcast, Shaver, who serves as a consultant for ES, noted the comprehensive structure of the ES program and the support systems the company has put into place to promote success.

“Truck drivers like freedom and flexibility and that’s why they choose this career. ES is working to help create small businesses with a program that allows the participants to choose the opportunity that is the best fit from a group of partner carriers,” said Shaver. “ES doesn’t stop at financing the truck. The ES Community provides support and leverage. They provide carrier advocacy, allowing a business owner the ability to focus on generating revenue and not on day-to-day issues.

“ES leverages their experience and contacts within the industry to negotiate and make available a variety of other resources and services to their business community,” she added. “The motto at ES is that you never stand alone, and, when you see how ES works with the participants in their programs, it’s clear they live up to that motto every day.”

Since it entered the trucking industry in 2006, ES has utilized a working model that focuses on removing the barriers that hinder professional drivers from becoming truck owners and operating their own small businesses. Through ES, qualified participants in the company’s programs have access to competitive, market-rate financing with a credit-evaluation process that puts an emphasis on attitude, aptitude, work ethic and work history. The ES model has proven to be an effective platform for contract drivers, owner-operators and fleet owners. Today, ES is a leading provider of non-asset capacity within the expedited market, and the company’s platform continues to gain traction within a general trucking market searching for safe, stable, and scalable tractor capacity solutions.

“We are working very hard to do everything that we can to make the SITE 2020 the kind of event that will have a positive impact for everyone who makes the trip to Indianapolis. We are looking forward to working with anyone who is interested in attending. Our goal with the SITE 2020 is to make it a fun, meaningful and memorable experience for everyone involved. Just as we did last year, ES will be providing free hotel accommodations and free meals to prequalified SITE registrants. Don’t wait, there are a limited number of these spots available. Please go to our website, register and start the pre-qualification process. June 5th will be here before you know it,” said Jeff Tacker, the Chief Operating Officer at ES. “If you are interested in true truck ownership with the full support of the ES Community, I would encourage you to visit SuccessInTruckingExpo.com to learn more and to register.”

Dr. Mahjoubi is uniquely qualified to administer IV infusion therapy of Ketamine to treat depression symptoms as well as anxiety and chronic pain.

Los Angeles Magazine recently recognized Dr. David Mahjoubi in their coveted “Top Doctor” list for 2020. Dr. Mahjoubi, who also achieved this acknowledgment when the Top Doctor list was first produced three years ago, is listed among a respected group of physicians in the Anesthesiology category. Dr. Mahjoubi was chosen based on the respect earned from his peers and colleagues. The magazine issues a thorough nomination and review process conducted by PRS (Professional Research Services), which involves a peer-to-peer survey and voting from practicing physicians throughout Los Angeles County. Inclusion into Los Angeles’ Magazine’s Top Doctors cannot be purchased, and advertising has no influence on the review process. Dr. Mahjoubi’s valued distinction as a Top Doctor will soon appear in the April 2020 issue of Los Angeles Magazine.

Dr. Mahjoubi is most known for his alternative approach to depression treatment. He is among a very elite group of physicians in the United States to use Ketamine to treat depression as well as chronic pain. As an experienced Anesthesiologist, Dr. Mahjoubi understands Ketamine as a safe anesthetic medication that has been used for over half a century. However, Ketamine’s value in treating major depression symptoms is a breakthrough therapy that is highly sought-after at Dr. Mahjoubi’s Los Angeles clinic. Patients receive a calculated protocol of IV Ketamine infusions and may also choose Dr. Mahjoubi’s exclusive Ketamine intranasal spray for supplementary treatment at home. Patients who are not tolerating anti-depressants or resistant to other forms of depression treatment often make ideal candidates for Ketamine. As a non-opioid and non-addictive therapy, Ketamine has also shown valued efficacy for treating chronic pain and fibromyalgia.

“I am once again honored to be chosen as a Los Angeles Top Doctor and recognized by such respected and talented physicians in the community. I plan to continue my dedication to helping others realize the remarkable benefits of Ketamine therapy,” says Dr. David Mahjoubi of Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles.
