HOLLISTON, Mass., Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Biostage, Inc. (OTCQB: BSTG) ("Biostage" or the "Company"), a cell-therapy biotechnology company with successful "first-in-human" experience in treating esophageal cancer (conducted at the Mayo Clinic and published last August) and FDA approval to commence a clinical trial of the Biostage Esophageal Implant for severe esophageal disease including cancer, today announced that it will be hosting a webinar to allow investors to meet its new Interim CEO, David Green. Mr. Green is also Biostage's founder and is the Chairman of its Board of Directors. Mr. Green will review Biostage's plans for its approved clinical trial, raising capital and uplisting to NASDAQ. There will be an opportunity for Q&A.

The Biostage Esophageal Implant is not a transplant of someone else's organ. It is not a transplant of an organ grown in a pig. It is not a piece of your bowel in your chest. It is not a piece of plastic left permanently in your esophagus. The Biostage Esophageal Implant uses your own stem cells to regenerate your own organ, inside your own body. Once the regeneration is complete, and a new esophagus has formed, typically in 2-3 months, the plastic scaffold is removed via the mouth.

The webinar will be held this Thursday, January 27, 2022, at 2pm ET via Zoom. There will be time for investors to ask questions directly to Mr. Green. The webinar will be repeated Thursday, Jan. 27. 8-9pm ET / 9-10am Friday, January 28 Beijing Time via Zoom.
