OKYO Pharma (NASDAQ:OKYO) stock is falling on Tuesday as the company prepares for a presentation this week.
OKYO Pharma is attending the 2nd Annual GPCRs-Targeted Drug Discovery Summit at the Hyatt Regency in Boston, Massachusetts this week. The conference started today and will end on Thursday, Feb. 23.
As part of the conference, OKYO Pharma CEO Gary Jacob will host a presentation on Wednesday. The title of the presentation is “A Lipidated Protease-Resistant Chemerin Peptide Offers a Novel Therapeutic for Dry Eyes.”
According to a press release from OKYO, the company’s presentation will cover its clinical development plans for OK-101, which is a planned treatment in development for dry eye disease.
