RoosterBio Headquarters in Frederick, MD

Our team has been working diligently this year to grow our customer base across the globe, now shipping to 26 countries and the need to expand our facility is a result of the industry validating our value proposition.


FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)

RoosterBio Inc., a leading supplier of human mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (hMSC) working cell banks and hMSC bioprocess systems, announces today an expansion of its facility in Frederick, Maryland for the second time in 2019. The addition of 5,000 square feet to its existing 15,500 footprint supports the company’s expansion efforts and provides infrastructure to meet a growing international demand for its standardized hMSC bioprocess tools. By strengthening its cell manufacturing solution portfolio and presence in the Asia Pacific and Europe, RoosterBio is giving more people around the world the ability to advance regenerative medicine cures.

RoosterBio’s headquarters at The Offices at Westview serves as a center of excellence, incorporating the latest scale up bioprocessing technology and allows the company to quality test its cells and media in a variety of conditions and applications. The new space will increase shipping capabilities for a growing international network by the end of the year. RoosterBio announced the first expansion of its facility earlier this year which served as a catalyst for its strategic international growth initiatives. The company plans to launch an international presence in Asia during the first half of 2020.

“Our team has been working diligently this year to grow our customer base across the globe, now shipping to 26 countries and the need to expand our facility is a result of the industry validating our value proposition,” said RoosterBio’s Chief Executive Officer Margot Connor. “As our efforts have increased, we’ve increased our employee base by nearly 30% this year and we’re excited about our continued annual growth rate.” Connor added, “We’re taking RoosterBio to the next level in the international hMSC marketplace.”

Experts Explain How To Save Car Insurance Money This Christmas

Leave a comment


News Image

“This Christmas can be very rewarding to policyholders. Find out how you can save money and visit our website for free car insurance quotes”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Christmas is the best time of the year to make gifts. It is also the best time to plan ahead the next year’s investments. Drivers should also know that during Christmas time, insurance companies can provide substantial gifts, in the form of discounts or cheaper rates. To find out more, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com and get free car insurance quotes online.

Here is why drivers should pay more attention to car insurance offers:


  • Christmas is also associated with more intense traffic on the roads. The weekend before Christmas is expected to witness an alarmingly high number of cars since numerous people prefer to buy presents in the last days before Christmas. And more cars on the roads mean one thing: more chances of being involved in an accident,

  • Car thieves are really busy during the holidays. In fact, they anxiously wait for the Christmas evening to start stealing cars. When people party and leave their cars at home it is the perfect time for car robbers. It is recommended to purchase and install anti-theft and car recovery devices. Besides deterring the thieves, these devices will lower car insurance costs. Companies reward drivers that installed these devices with a discount. It is a very rewarding long term investment.

  • Renewing coverage during Christmas can bring some discounts. If the policy is about to expire around Christmas or New Year’s Eve, renewing coverage in advance can be a really smart move. Check if the current provider offers a discount for renewing in advance or buying coverage around Christmas.

  • Get temporary coverage. People who do not want to drive during winter must still be insured. There is no room for pauses when talking about auto insurance. Creating coverage lapses is not recommended. The policyholder should negotiate for storage coverage during winter, and drop all other policies. However, storage coverage will provide limited protection, similar to the comprehensive coverage.

-Online car insurance quotes will help drivers get the best deals. Check the prices every 1-2 days and look for discounts and renewal offers. If a person plans to change the insurance provider, now is the perfect time to do it. It only takes several minutes to get price estimates. Use brokerage websites to get multiple quotes.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website.

Good Oral Hygiene is the Dental Cure for Holiday Candy Consumption, says Dr. Bostani’s Advanced Dental

Leave a comment


When prevention fails, implants can provide outstanding replacements.

The more sugary and acidic foods are consumed, the more measures should be taken to minimize the potential damage that sweet treats can inflict.


BURBANK, Cali. (PRWEB)

A November 20 article on Yahoo Lifestyle details some of the many new candies that are available this holiday season. Dr. Bostani’s Advanced Dental says that indulging in a few holiday treats – brand new or traditional – is not a gigantic dental danger to the average person who eats a reasonably healthy and balanced diet, but the more sugary and acidic foods are consumed, the more measures should be taken to minimize the potential damage that sweet treats can inflict.

The Burbank-based dental center– which offers treatments in cosmetic, preventive, and restorative dentistry in the famed LA-adjacent city – notes that careful prevention is ideally the best strategy for preserving the wellbeing of teeth long term. The center explains that this starts with ensuring that the consumption of sugary and acidic foods and beverages doesn’t become truly excessive while also ensuring that individuals drink plenty of water before and after such treats so as to lessen the amount of sugar and acid lingering on teeth. The center adds that waiting for about 15 to 30 minutes after every meal to brush teeth allows tooth enamel to re-mineralize, thus preventing damage from toothbrush bristles. Flossing and using a mouth rinse will also go a long way in removing any remaining bits of sugary food, says the center.

Dr. Bostani’s Advanced Dental also notes that, should damage occur, patients still have plenty of options to restore their smile. There are a variety of treatments that can remove stains and whiten teeth, or when the damage is more severe, protect or completely replace vulnerable teeth or teeth that are too far gone to be salvaged. The dental center notes that veneers and crowns are ideal for protecting teeth that still possess an adequate amount of functionality but may have become unattractive or prone to further degradation. When teeth are past the point of being saved and need to be extracted, the center adds that dental implants can replace a tooth with a near-identical prosthetic that performs as well or better than the original tooth.

Dr. Bostani’s Advanced Dental says that, whether patients are considering preventive care or are concerned about the early signs of problems, the earlier they get in touch with a dentist, the better. Especially during the holiday season, when money seems to slip through everyone’s fingers, frugal patients will be happy to know that treatments for ailments in their early stages are almost always much cheaper than treating ailments that have progressed unchecked.

“[Our customers’] faith in us is why Q3 of the 2019 calendar year was a milestone for our company and technology. As our product development and innovation steadily continues, we’re on track to exceed our goals for both this quarter and the remainder of the year,” said Medpricer CEO Chris Gormley.


GUILFORD, Conn. and WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (PRWEB)

Medpricer, one of the nation’s leading technology-based solutions to optimize healthcare provider savings across purchased services contracts, today announced that it has expanded its GPO-agnostic platform to new and existing customers. The company, owned by Premier Inc. (NASDAQ: PINC), continues to exceed its growth goals, having signed multiple new agreements this year and increasing its total contract value.

New payer acquisition

Most recently, the team welcomed a West coast not-for-profit regional medical center, a Southern teaching system and cancer treatment center, an East Coast university healthcare network and a Midwest health system to its customer roster.

“While the industry continues to shift its focus to GPO-agnostic technology solutions, our user base has steadily grown,” said Medpricer’s Chief Customer Officer Mickey Meehan. “We work with the nation’s leading healthcare organizations to understand the industry’s constraints and produce exciting new solutions that give sourcing professionals more control over their data, productivity and contract outcomes.”

Expanding contract value

Multiple customers, regardless of GPO affiliation, have renewed or expanded their partnerships with Medpricer to include subscriptions to the industry’s leading purchased services analytics and sourcing software to supplement its sourcing teams’ needs. With Medpricer’s sourcing services, its team of experts work together with sourcing teams to analyze purchased services sourcing data and determine optimal savings strategies by category.

Amplified customer success

Medpricer’s customized, data-driven approach provides its customers with a competitive edge to make sound business decisions quickly. New and existing customers recognize that the company’s data, sourcing speed, and industry-rich analytics sets Medpricer solutions apart from the rest of the industry. In the last six months, an Arizona-based health system identified $2.6 million savings using Medpricer’s cognitive analytics software. Another southwest regional medical center facing a 30 percent cost increase negotiated 10 percent savings on linen services with Medpricer’s Precision Benchmark Report. Additionally, a Michigan-based health system initiated six RFPs within 20 days of onboarding.

Accelerated development plan

Medpricer continues to be well positioned to drive further growth following its acquisition. In October, Premier, Inc. acquired the organization, through a strategic deal that fuels Medpricer’s commercial reach and product development capabilities.

“We hear it again and again from our customers; Medpricer’s market intelligence coupled with speed to savings is a gamechanger. Their faith in us is why Q3 of the 2019 calendar year was a milestone for our company and technology. As our product development and innovation steadily continues, we’re on track to exceed our goals for both this quarter and the remainder of the year,” said Medpricer CEO Chris Gormley. “We’ve listened to our customers’ needs and have been able to tailor our solutions to those, ensuring we offer the most robust services.”

Palm Beach AACFL – Divorce Lawyers Adopt Innovative Solution to Help Clients and Judges

Leave a comment


News Image

The organization’s mission is to solve a growing problem in the divorce world – a rapidly changing economy.


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB)

The CFL™ designation has taken Palm Beach by storm with the recent launch of the American Academy for Certified Financial Litigators (AACFL) Palm Beach Chapter in December of 2019. The AACFL is proud to announce the creation of this chapter and applauds the commitment of its Founding Members. The organization’s mission is to solve a growing problem in the divorce world – a rapidly changing economy.

A common path for these attorneys is to study liberal arts at the undergraduate level, then to go to law school, and then to be fighting for their clients’ financial future without any formal financial training. The mission of this group is to fix that problem because of how complex today’s financial economy has become. A solid understanding of the financial fundamentals taught in the CFL™ Training course can make the difference between an attorney’s client struggling after their divorce and the client being able to start the next chapter of their life with more financial security for their family. While years of experience as a divorce attorney is undoubtedly valuable, imagine the power and benefit to clients of combining that legal knowledge with enhanced financial knowledge!

An additional goal for the group is to raise the level of financial knowledge in the family law community, freeing up the judge’s schedules from having to deal with these matters. This will allow judges to spend more time on areas such as domestic abuse, custody problems, and other important, non-financial, family matters. The organization believes that this is a goal that society would benefit from greatly.

The uniqueness of the CFL™ designation and training program is that it was developed by nationally recognized financial firms, financial experts, attorneys and judges who believe in the mission. To create public confidence, the CFL™ designation is only awarded to members of the AACFL who have taken the time to study and receive a passing grade on an objective, comprehensive exam covering these concepts. Not all divorce lawyers would make the commitment of time and effort to obtain and prove their knowledge in these areas. The AACFL seeks to publicly recognize the dedication of these Founding Members and will be indicating those who have earned the designation on their Palm Beach Chapter website, available for public viewing: http://www.aacfl.org/chapter-pb/

The AACFL is hopeful that this trend will continue in South Florida and that its mission of helping the public and the court system will be achieved through the dedication of its members. Currently, the Founding Membership represents some of the finest divorce attorneys and firms in Palm Beach. The organization has been growing rapidly and currently has membership in over ten states. Congratulations to the following Palm Beach Founding Members!

A Recent Article Explains What Factors Influence Car Insurance Rates The Most

Leave a comment


News Image

“Insurance companies assume a risk when proving coverage to a person. In order to calculate how likely is for a person to file a claim, insurance companies analyze multiple factors”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that presents the main factors used to determine car insurance rates

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/factors-that-influence-your-car-insurance-risk-profile/

Insurance companies rate clients and place them in 3 main risk categories: Preferred, Standard and High-Risk. Multiple factors are analyzed in order to assess a client’s risk profile. The main factors that influence car insurance rates are the following:


  • The area where the policyholder lives. Car insurance rates are calculated based on the customer’s ZIP code. Each state has a certain car insurance legislation. This includes minimum liability coverage, laws regarding no-fault coverage, reimbursement limits, when a car is considered totaled and other relevant issues. Furthermore, the ZIP will tell the insurer if the client lives in a metropolitan area or a rural area. Car theft frequency, riots, and reports of vandalism for a specific area taken into consideration. The geographical layout and position influence rates for certain coverage types. For example, people living in coastal areas, more exposed to hurricanes, pay more expensive comprehensive coverage.

  • Driving history and recent traffic violations: As expected, people with clean records have better rates. Companies prefer to work with drivers that have not been involved in accidents in the past 3-5 years. A person with multiple traffic violations or accident involvements may be seen as high-risk and will likely be refused by standard carriers.

  • The car’s make and model: When asking for coverage, the client must provide the following basic info about the car: fabrication year, make, model, sub-model (body type). Furthermore, the driver will be asked if the car is equipped with crash avoidance technology, anti-theft devices or recovery devices. The type of car and its value also influence the cost. An expensive, sports car that costs a lot is more expensive to insure.

  • Credit score: Drivers with a poor credit score are considered a higher risk by many insurance companies. Persons with poor FICO score should consult experts in order to develop a strategy for repairing the credit score.

Garner has been a great business partner, friend, and mentor and I am privileged and honored to succeed him in this role,” said Don Omura, CEO.

I deeply appreciate the opportunity I’ve had to work with and benefit from so many talented and dedicated colleagues,” said Garner Bennett. “I will miss my time at TRM but I’ve never been more optimistic about our ability to serve our clients effectively and grow in the EAM and Cloud markets. Don is the right person to lead TRM and I know that the organization is in good hands and well positioned for years to come.”

Don Omura’s previously held positions at TRM include President, Chief Operations Officer, and Executive Vice President of Pacific Operations.

Over the past two years, a systematic succession plan was implemented to pave the way for Garner Bennett’s departure which included adding Mr. Bala Balasubramanian to the TRM Board of Directors. “He comes with a wealth of technology leadership and experience and is the founder of several tech companies. We have long sought the counsel and advice that he brings to our Board of Directors,” said Jagadisan Shivakumar, President.
