Orbiton will assist ME Therapeutics in enhancing investor communications and awareness of its in vivo Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) and therapeutic mRNA research and development activities as well as ongoing corporate development activities. The engagement comes as the Company continues working to advance its in vivo dual targeted CAR towards a first-in-human clinical trial and execute its strategy to secure a potential listing on the NASDAQ exchange.
The services will be performed by Matthew Nelson, who will serve in the consulting role of Vice President, Investor Relations on a non-employee, non-officer basis. Orbiton and Mr. Nelson are at arm’s length to the Company.
Mr. Nelson is Chief Operating Officer of Orbiton, an AI-native investor relations platform serving public issuers across North America. He has worked extensively with TSX Venture Exchange-listed issuers, advising on investor engagement and regulatory-compliant communications under Canadian securities requirements. He has a particular interest in modernizing investor outreach and applying technology and data-driven tools to broaden shareholder reach and deepen market engagement.
“The in vivo CAR space continues to generate excitement in the scientific community evidenced by several recent deals in the space. We are now planning to prioritize generating market awareness as we continue towards a first-in-human clinical trial,” said Salim Dhanji, PhD, CEO of ME Therapeutics.
Under the agreement, Orbiton will lead the Company’s investor relations program, including developing its investor relations strategy, preparing investor communications and website investor content, and coordinating investor meetings, roadshows and conferences. These activities will be conducted through Instagram, LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter).
