Cognosci Selected to Present at CED's Venture 2007 Conference

Company to showcase drug leads to treat Multiple Sclerosis


RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., April 9, 2007 - Cognosci, Inc., an established pharmaceutical company with proprietary anti-inflammatory compounds based on apolipoprotein-E, announced today that it has been selected as an Early Stage presenting company at the Venture 2007 Conference sponsored by the Council for Entrepreneurial Development (CED) on April 23-25, 2007, in Durham, N.C. Cognosci's presentation will be at 5:25 pm on April 24th.

"Cognosci is proud to be selected to present at Venture 2007 as a first step towards raising the funds necessary to progressing our programs into clinical trials" said Dr. Michael P. Vitek, Cognosci's Founder and President. "To date we have focused our efforts on developing our technology and we are now poised to raise our Series A round of institutional investment so that we can proceed with clinical development of our compounds to treat debilitating and life threatening diseases."

"CED has selected promising high growth companies from an array of industries that are looking to raise either initial or subsequent rounds of professional equity capital," said Robert Albright, CED's communications director. "That Cognosci has collected over $7.5 million in SBIR funds validates the rigor of the company's scientific programs, and we are excited to include them as they seek their first round of Venture Capital investment."

Venture 2007, scheduled for April 23-25 at the Washington Duke Inn in Durham, NC, is the Southeast's premier venture financing conference. Presented by CED with support from the Research Triangle Park and the National Venture Capital Association, Venture 2007 will continue a 24-year tradition of showcasing the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic's top investment opportunities to hundreds of venture capitalists and financiers from throughout the United States. Since 2001, Venture presenters have raised over $1.2 billion in venture capital. In addition to company presentations, Venture 2007 (www.cednc.org/venture) will include leading industry speakers, extensive networking opportunities and exclusive investor-only events.
