VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - October 16, 2017) - Sirona Biochem Corp. SBM ZSB ZSB, (the "Company") announced that Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Geraldine Deliencourt-Godefroy, will attend and present on the trade floor at Cosmetic 360 in Paris, France on October 18-19, 2017. Cosmetic 360 is an international event that brings together the leading advancements in science with the largest, most influential cosmetics companies. In 2016, the conference hosted 200 exhibitors and was attended by over 4,000 delegates.

At the conference, Sirona will exhibit a trade show booth to academics and industry alike on the Company's proprietary compound Kel-01. Kel-01 is currently being developed to prevent or reduce keloid scars. Initial studies have shown that the addition of KEL-01 regulates collagen I/III ratios in keloid fibroblasts to those of normal fibroblasts. Moreover, it also enhances the cellular antioxidant capacity through activation of the Nrf2 pathway.

Keloid scars are overgrown, hard tissue that extend outside the original area of skin damage. These scars affect approximately 10-15% of all wounds and current treatments are extremely limited. The global scar treatment market is poised to rise at a CAGR of 10.3% to over US$ 31.9 Billion by 2022 (Source: Persistence Market Research). Some of the key players in the keloid treatment market are Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International.
