Catalent, the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies, development, and manufacturing solutions for drugs, biologics, cell and gene therapies, and consumer health products, today announced that Mike Riley, Region President, Biologics, North America, will present at the upcoming Disease Prevention & Control Summit, taking place virtually on July 28 – 29, 2020.

On Tuesday, July 28 at 4:10 p.m. EDT, during his presentation titled, “How COVID-19 is Bending the Curve on Vaccine Development and Manufacturing Norms,” Mr. Riley will discuss the challenges associated with scaling up manufacturing during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the need to condense vaccine development and clinical trial timelines, and establishing a global supply network that is capable of potentially delivering billions of doses worldwide. Using specific examples, he will explore how partnerships are enabling pharmaceutical companies of all sizes to meet unparalleled timelines in bringing treatments to patients as quickly as possible.

Immediately following his presentation, at 4:30 p.m. EDT, Mr. Riley will then join the “Manufacturing Drugs and Vaccines” panel session, moderated by Craig Laferrière, Head of Vaccine Development, Novateur Ventures Inc., which includes panelists from AstraZeneca and Translate Bio. The panelists will discuss the risks and challenges associated with pandemic drug manufacture and debate the extent to which vials that store vaccines could become a constraint, as well as the requirements that are needed in delivery systems and cold chain logistics.

Mr. Riley has worked at Catalent for 15 years, and held several leadership positions in that time. In his current role, he has overall responsibility for the strategy and management of Catalent’s biologics business in North America, and has guided it through the recent COVID-19 pandemic, simultaneously navigating the challenges of continued operations, alongside the rapid preparation to supply of multiple customers’ vaccine and treatment programs. Prior to joining Catalent, Mr. Riley worked as a management consultant for Marakon Associates, providing strategic advice to companies across multiple industries.

Megna Health Announces FDA EUA Approval of COVID-19 Antibody Combo Test Kit

Leave a comment


News Image

Our antibody kit is a first among combo (IgM and IgG) antibody test kits approved and manufactured in U.S. with such sensitivity.


EXTON, Pa. (PRWEB)

Megna Health, a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of diagnostic and healthcare products, announced today that the Company has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Rapid COVID-19 IgG and IgM Combo Test Kit.

Serology testing for COVID-19 is at an increased demand to better understand COVID-19 infections especially in asymptomatic patients or those who have recovered and developed antibodies. IgM antibodies are generally detectable in blood samples a couple of days after initial infection, and IgG antibodies follow later, then stay in circulation longer. Antibody tests could be even more important to the reopening decision-making process since antibody tests indicate a certain degree of immunity for future infection. In contrast, diagnostic PCR tests can indicate the presence of viral material during infection and will not indicate if a person was infected and subsequently developed antibodies to prevent future infections.

Megna’s Rapid Antibody Test Kit is lateral flow based immune assay. It tests both IgM and IgG antibodies against the COVID-19 virus with only a drop of blood sample (less than 5uL) and reports result in less than 15 minutes. In addition to studies in 411 patients, Megna’s Rapid Antibody Test Kit has also been validated independently by NIH/NCI (National Cancer Institute). It demonstrated sensitivity of 100 percent both combined (IgM/IgG) and IgG antibody.

“Our antibody kit is a first among combo (IgM and IgG) antibody test kits approved and manufactured in U.S. with such sensitivity,” said Eric Hill, Head of Marketing at Megna Health. “Simultaneous detection of IgM and IgG provides more important information to assess stage of infection and degree of immunity than individual assay alone.”    

About Megna Health

Megna Health provides life-changing diagnostic and healthcare products. The company is headquartered in Exton, PA and the antibody combo test kits are manufactured in facilities in Pennsylvania as well. For more information visit http://www.megnahealth.com

Leave a comment

…We believe in the businesses too often left out, overlooked and underestimated. Kabbage Checking is a new banking service built to give those small businesses an upper hand to earn more, save more and grow their business faster without sacrificing anything they expect from a bank.


ATLANTA (PRWEB)

Kabbage, Inc., a data and technology company providing small business cash-flow solutions, launched Kabbage Checking™, a new business checking account built for the smallest of companies, but fit for the largest. True to Kabbage’s continued efforts to support the companies most critical to America’s economy, Kabbage Checking gives small businesses the same capabilities, convenience and security they expect with a traditional checking account, but without the monthly fees or friction.

In minutes, small businesses can apply for a Kabbage Checking account, irrespective of their time in business, revenue or prior relationship with Kabbage. There are no opening fees or maintenance fees for Kabbage Checking accounts and there are no minimum or daily balance requirements. Instead, Kabbage Checking pays you. All customers will earn a 1.10 percent annual percentage yield (APY) paid out monthly, one of the highest interest rates for a business checking account in the industry.(1)

“Amidst one of the largest financial crises in history, we helped over 225,000 small businesses access services many of their long-time bank partners would only provide to their largest customers,” said Kabbage President Kathryn Petralia. “We believe in the businesses too often left out, overlooked and underestimated. Kabbage Checking is a new banking service built to give those small businesses an upper hand to earn more, save more and grow their business faster without sacrificing anything they expect from a bank.”

Small businesses can now join the waitlist to apply for a Kabbage Checking account with:

  • No minimum opening deposits: Begin banking at any stage of your business.

  • Cash deposits: Deposit cash at one of 90,000 participating retailers and service centers nationwide.*

  • Free ATM access: Withdraw cash at one of 19,000 in-network ATMs nationwide.*

  • Wallets: Create up to five Wallets to track savings goals or manage your cash flow.*

  • Bill pay: Set up your vendors, organize your bills and issue payments electronically.

  • Kabbage Debit Mastercard®: Access millions of merchants who accept Mastercard globally.

Kabbage Checking propels the company into a full financial-services provider as small businesses can now accept, deposit, pay, borrow, save and analyze their funds all through the Kabbage Platform. It strengthens its existing set of complementary solutions, which when combined gives the smallest of businesses an immediate technology advantage historically reserved and difficult to attain even for the largest.

Kabbage’s products are designed to work together to power a seamless cash flow management experience. When paired with Kabbage Insights™, Kabbage Checking customers receive daily cash flow analyses and forecasts. When integrated with Kabbage Payments™, customers can prevent cash flow gaps with faster settlements. Kabbage Funding™ helps prevent customers’ accounts from going negative, effectively eliminating costly overdrafts. The resulting solution gives small businesses access to unified cash flow tools in minutes with zero upfront costs or commitments.

When new features launch later this year, Kabbage Checking will also support wire transfers and mobile remote deposits. All Kabbage Checking accounts are issued by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, and are insured up to the FDIC’s standard deposit insurance amount of $250,000.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (PRWEB)

This narrative consists of numbers and family detail history that will be interpreted by the students and presented to a panel of judges. Three of the IARFC US Chapter Board of Directors – President Rick Stanzione, RFC®, Robert Miller, RFC® and Lemuel Kornegay, III, RFC® combined their many years of practice to develop this case scenario which will be sent out in October to the those student teams who registered. “Developing the financial facts for our fictional family case study took a lot of thought,” admitted Kornegay. “I think we came up with a scenario that will challenge the students to deliver appropriate solutions for their clients. Our goal was to create a learning experience by having them explain their financial plan and defend their strategies. I look forward to reviewing their game plans.”

The actual registration for the Competition is now open and information is being sent to universities that have Financial Services Programs to start thinking about the 2021 event. This will be followed up with hard deadlines for registration and later plan entry due dates.

The IARFC also is looking for Corporate Sponsors and Individual Donors who play a major role in the success of the Competition. “I have had the opportunity to interact with the students in this Competition,” relates Barry Dayley, MRFC® from Money Concepts International – a past Corporate Sponsor of the Competition. “It’s extremely important to the future of our industry to support these young people as they consider their careers in financial services.

We’re scaling quickly and rank top 1% in customer satisfaction. Great people + Great culture + Great process = Formula for success.

“In 2018, we set the goal of going from essentially zero to fifty thousand loans per year in ten years. A little more than two years into that journey, it appears that we are well on our way and I couldn’t be any more proud of the team,” commented Mark Gordon, National Director of Sales at Princeton Mortgage.

Adding to the historic quarter, Princeton Mortgage received the company’s highest Net Promoter Score®, or NPS®, of 98 out of a possible 100 this May.

The sophisticated rating system asks one question: “On a scale from 0 to 10, how likely are you to refer a friend or colleague?” 0 being not likely at all and 10 being extremely likely. Princeton Mortgage has used NPS as a staple for receiving customer feedback and perfecting their systems. So much so that the 98 NPS score places Princeton Mortgage in the top 1% for customer satisfaction. Comparatively, the industry average for financial service companies that record Net Promoter Score is a 50.

Cheap Car Insurance 2020 – Top Tips That Will Help Drivers Save Money

Leave a comment


News Image

“There are many strategies drivers can use to pay less on car insurance. Given the current economic situation, policyholders should not hesitate to look for the best methods to save money on insurance”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several tips that can help drivers lower their car insurance bills.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/8-tips-that-will-help-you-pay-cheaper-car-insurance-premiums/

Owning and operating a vehicle can be quite expensive. Given the current situation of the economy, it’s well worth the time and effort to try to reduce these costs as much as possible. One area where drivers should look is car insurance. There are several things drivers can do both today and over time that will lower their car insurance premiums.

To save money on car insurance, drivers can do the following:


  • Drive safely. Avoiding accidents and driving more carefully are among the best ways to keep the costs of insurance at a minimum. Drivers who already have moving violations should avoid adding more to their records. The good news is that in most states moving violations are dropped from the driving record after three years.

  • Buy a car that is cheap to insure. Drivers who are looking to get a new car should avoid excessively expensive or sporty cars. Instead, drivers should pick a cheap car that has plenty of safety features. Safety gear such as a security system, passenger and rear seat airbags, and anti-lock brakes can lower the costs of insurance.

  • Complete a defensive driving course. Some providers will offer a discount to policyholders who complete a defensive driving course. However, drivers should check if the cost of the course doesn’t wipe out any savings that will get from the reduced insurance rates.

  • Get a behavior-based driving discount. Many insurance providers are offering discounts to drivers with clean driving histories. Also, these drivers can save even more by allowing their insurers to use a telematics device to track their driving behavior.

  • Shop around. Many policyholders stay with the same insurers for years, without checking the insurance market. By doing so, policyholders risk having their rates slowly raised over the years by their insurers. To avoid that, drivers should compare quotes at least once per year. To attract customers, some insurers cut their prices and offer attractive discounts for new customers.

  • Move to a place closer to work. Drivers who have a short commute will pay less on their insurance. These types of drivers are less likely to be involved in accidents because they spend less time on the road. Also, some companies are offering customized policies where drivers can pay insurance only for the miles driven.

  • Improve the credit score. Insurance companies can take the credit score into account when pricing car insurance policies. However, a better credit score is likely to result in at least a slight improvement in the premiums the next time drivers shop for car insurance.

  • Raise the deductible. Drivers who have a good driving record can save some money by simply raising the deductible. However, if they get involved in a car accident, they will have to pay out more money out of their pockets before the insurance kicks in.
