FEMY Femasys Inc

Femasys Inc. (NASDAQ: FEMY), a leading biomedical company focused on addressing significant unmet needs of women worldwide with a broad portfolio of in-office, accessible, and innovative therapeutic and diagnostic products, announces CEO and Founder Kathy Lee-Sepsick has met with staff from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to discuss the President and First Lady’s Cancer Moonshot and the Company’s FemCerv® product. According to The White House, OSTP “works to bring that idea to life by harnessing the power of science, technology, and innovation to achieve America’s great aspirations.” OSTP also supports the Cancer Moonshot, which is focused on mobilizing a national effort to end cancer.

During the meeting, Ms. Lee-Sepsick and the OSTP staff discussed the priority actions for the Cancer Moonshot, including  important priorities related to cervical cancer. This discussion gave Ms. Lee-Sepsick the opportunity to raise awareness of FemCerv, Femasys’ diagnostic tool for the detection of cervical cancer, with a purposeful design that allows for the collection of a complete and uncontaminated sample in a virtually pain-free procedure. Femasys intends to broaden its cancer diagnostic portfolio with an endometrial sampler for uterine cancer in the future.

“Meeting with the esteemed Office of Science and Technology Policy was a remarkable experience, where I had the opportunity to discuss our work in cancer diagnosis with our FemCerv product for cervical cancer and other products in development,” stated Ms. Lee-Sepsick. “The Cancer Moonshot emphasizes the importance of early detection, and we are excited to explore avenues to collaborate, as we commercialize our diagnostic product that is in line with the Cancer Moonshot’s mission to dramatically reduce cervical cancer.”
