This undertaking, which will utilize its current infrastructure, will provide a cost reduction of 85% per patient treatment.  The Company expects to implement the improved manufacture process into its current facility in the next 24 months.

"This enterprise is necessary to address the challenging operating landscape in cell therapy and better position TC BioPharm both economically and operationally to improve the lives of patients while creating long-term value for shareholders.  One of the biggest bottlenecks in cell therapy today is the high cost of manufacturing, which leads to extremely high treatment costs to patients, and this endeavor should allow TCB to reverse these issues.

Additionally, I believe that these developments will lay the groundwork for commercialization plan and increasing TC BioPharm's manufacturing footprint."
