"Dr. Amatruda's opinion is highly respected within the pharmaceutical industry." "It is a pleasure to join the SAB of DiaMedica," commented Dr. Amatruda. "DiaMedica has several approaches for the treatment of diabetes and I am excited to work with the company and its scientific advisors." About DiaMedica DiaMedica is a biopharmaceutical company that has developed novel therapeutic compounds aimed to improve the lives of patients with diabetes and other major, medically unmet diseases. DiaMedica's lead compound, DM-199, represents a novel approach to treating Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes by demonstrating significant results against three major aspects of these diseases: 1) halting the autoimmune attack on beta cells; 2) proliferating insulin producing beta cells and 3) improving glucose control. DiaMedica is also developing DM-204, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the enzyme glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3B). In preclinical studies, DM-204 significantly improved glucose control and decreased blood pressure. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol 'DMA'.
