WESTMINSTER, Colo., Oct. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GeneThera, Inc. (OTCMKT: GTHR) announced today that it has entered into an exclusive agreement with Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE:CWK) to identify land sites and warehouse buildings in the Denver area in connection with the development of GeneThera Zoonotic Disease Alert Shield (ZIDAS) surveillance network. While the Stationary BSL3 laboratory is built, the Company operation will be primarily focused on the assembly of the Mobile Laboratory Units (MLU) as part of the ZIDAS surveillance system network. Cushman & Wakefield’s initial objective is to identify warehouse spaces where the MLU will be assembled and stored. Colorado will be the first site of a network that will span throughout the US and will continue to grow over the next several years; domestically and internationally.
Tony Milici, MD, PhD, Chairman and CEO of GeneThera Inc., stated; “This is the beginning of our global effort to build ZIDAS surveillance system. We have reached a critical point in the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Delta variant has started a new infectious cycle and the need for an effective surveillance has become more critical than ever. The main scope of the surveillance network is to identify asymptomatic carriers as well detect SARS-CoV-2 new variants and new potentially pandemic viruses as they emerge. Several scientists have recognized the possibility that vaccination will increase evolutionary pressure on the COVID-19 virus, which will result in strains more resistant to vaccination. We believe our Smart Test Technology (STT), which is based on our MORAP platform to test both wastewater and human sample, will result in detecting new strains of coronaviruses carrying new mutations. Working with a company such as Cushman & Wakefield will accelerate the development of our network.”
“We are very excited to work with GeneThera to assist in their effort to find the right buildings and locations for their ZIDAS global network,” stated Sid Dixon from Cushman & Wakefield. “Our firm is one of only a few commercial real estate companies that has the capacity to locate these sites to build a network of this size, both domestically and internationally. Cushman & Wakefield has years of experience working with biotechnology companies such as GeneThera and understands how important site selection is to the overall business.”
