Federal Judge Orders Expedited Discovery to Identify 'John Doe' Defendants 'Naked' Short-Sellers of Lunai Common StockMay 22, 2026 9:15 AM
PR Newswire (US) WASHINGTON, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, a United States District Court Magistrate Judge in Delaware granted the Motion of Lunai Bioworks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LNAI) (Lunai) to conduct expedited discovery to identify the "John Doe" "naked" short sellers of Lunai common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market in late 2025 and throughout the first half of 2026. Co-lead counsel, Jacob Frenkel, Securities Enforcement Practice Chair at Dickinson Wright, stated: "This is the first step to amending the Complaint and holding accountable and pursuing substantial damages from the 'naked' short sellers who have caused real market harm to Lunai and its shareholders." The Court's Order granted Lunai's Emergency Ex Parte Motion for Leave to Engage in Expedited Limited Third-Party Discovery filed on Monday, May 18, 2026, after carefully reviewing the governing legal precedent and establishing that Lunai, through counsel, established "good cause" to permit discovery before the more typical timing under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In finding "good cause," the Court made the threshold determination that Lunai "established a prima facie case for each essential element of the claim(s) in question." The Court recognized that Lunai demonstrated "[a] that it has no other way to identify the alleged wrongdoers, aside from obtaining the discovery at issue[,] or that expedited discovery is necessary because evidence identifying the defendants may be otherwise destroyed[.]" The Court concluded that Lunai "made a prima facie showing for each element of at least Counts I and/or II of the three counts … via the detailed allegations it made regarding an alleged scheme involving 'naked short selling and manipulative trading intended to depress [Plaintiff's] stock price[.]'" Additionally, in recognizing the need to take discovery beginning with broker-dealers and custodians, the Court acknowledged that "this type of information is 'uniquely held by market infrastructure entities and market participants.'" Moreover, the Court pointed out that the "timing" of the trading anomalies and urgency and the "context" also were factors supporting granting the Motion.Co-lead counsel, Sidney Liebesman, Senior Litigation Partner in Fox Rothschild's Delaware office, added: "The Court appreciated both the gravity and time sensitivity of the need to commence discovery. Our courts in Delaware understand the harms that can be perpetrated against quality corporations, and we look forward to pressing this case aggressively on behalf of Lunai."Lunai, through its two law firm counsel, will be issuing discovery to the broker-dealers and custodians identifiable as having traded Lunai stock as the first layer of discovery. According to the Motion and the 18-page, 21-items discovery request attached as an exhibit to the Motion, Lunai will be seeking, among many things, the identity of all investors who took naked short positions, confirmation that the naked short sellers had violated the law by not borrowing the stock, information regarding the number of shares sold short and the specific naked short sale transactions, and trading blotters.On Monday, May 11, 2026, national law firms Dickinson Wright and Fox Rothschild joined forces to file the lawsuit on behalf of their firms' client, Lunai, alleging securities fraud (stock manipulation) and intentional tort against "John Doe" "naked" short sellers of Lunai common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Complaint seeks compensatory damages, which could multiply if Lunai amends the Complaint to assert civil RICO claims. Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor and SEC Enforcement lawyer, added that "such egregious conduct cries out for amending the Complaint to allege civil RICO. A civil RICO judgment against naked short sellers should reverberate across the market, and the Court permitting us to push discovery only advances that goal."Lunai, as set forth in the lawsuit, is an AI-driven platform for precision medicine that identifies targets for new therapeutics and biodefense countermeasures. The company also has developed a cancer immunotherapy for solid tumors. The Complaint tells the company's story for 2025 to the present -- referencing an April 2025 strategic merger, a May 2025 launch of an AI-powered precision neurology platform, a November 2025 announcement of the company's next-generation dendritic cell immunotherapy having achieved complete regression of both primary and metastatic pancreatic tumors in preclinical humanized mouse models to mark a potential treatment, a March 2026 national initiative that uses artificial intelligence and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate the discovery and development of chemical countermeasures for emerging threats, an April 2026 deployment of an AI-powered platform for chemical threat assessment, and May 2026 intellectual property acquisitions that expanded Lunai's central nervous system platform.The Complaint asserts three counts: (1) securities fraud under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; (2) market manipulation under Section 9(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (3) the intentional tort of wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343. Lunai seeks compensatory and special damages, injunctive relief, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, and recovery of costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. The defendants are identified in the complaint as Does 1-50, Roe Corporations 1-50, and XYZ LLCs 1-50, pending discovery that will reveal their true identities. Dickinson Wright and Fox Rothschild intend to pursue expedited discovery to identify the defendants and seek emergency injunctive relief to halt the ongoing manipulative trading.The Complaint in Lunai Bioworks, Inc. v. Does 1-50, Roe Corporations 1-50, and XYZ LLCs 1-50, 1:26-cv-00549-CFC (filed Monday, May 11, 2026) is on file in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

CNS Drug Delivery Technologies Are Reshaping Alzheimer's and Biodefense ResearchMay 13, 2026 9:00 AM
InvestorsHub NewsWireCNS Drug Delivery Technologies Are Reshaping Alzheimer's and Biodefense ResearchBioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Among the most guarded structures in human biology, the brain is also one of the hardest to treat. The blood-brain barrier ("BBB"), a specialized biological membrane, shields neural tissue from foreign substances, including most therapeutic agents. As cases of Alzheimer's disease climb worldwide and governments sharpen their focus on biodefense, the absence of efficient pathways for delivering drugs to the brain is fast becoming one of medicine's most pressing unresolved problems. Companies such as Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC) (Profile) are responding to this challenge with next-generation delivery platforms engineered to circumvent biological barriers and ensure direct, targeted access to the central nervous system ("CNS"). Oncotelic has developed a proprietary intranasal nose-to-brain ("N2B") system capable of rapidly shuttling therapeutics to the brain, a signal of growing industry consensus that delivery innovation, not merely drug discovery, will drive the next wave of breakthroughs in CNS medicine. Oncotelic joins a group of leading biopharma companies working in the biopharmaceutical and advanced therapeutics space, including Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) and Lunai Bioworks Inc. (NASDAQ: LNAI).While the blood-brain barrier is vital for maintaining neurological health, it simultaneously creates a major obstacle for drug developers.Oncotelic Therapeutics is pursuing a position in a segment of the market focused on enabling faster, more reliable access to the brain.CNS drug delivery is not only a concern for chronic disease, it is also a strategic priority in the area of national security and biodefense.Designed as a device-enabled approach to direct CNS delivery, Oncotelic's N2B delivery system offers a potential alternative to traditional systemic or intramuscular routes.Oncotelic Therapeutics is building along these lines. Its focus on scalable, adaptable delivery infrastructure positions the company to pursue multiple CNS indications from a shared platform base.Click here to view the custom infographic of the Oncotelic Therapeutics editorial.Why the Blood-Brain Barrier Is So Difficult to OvercomeThe blood-brain barrier functions as a tightly regulated biological filter, shielding brain tissue from harmful substances traveling through the bloodstream. While this defense mechanism is vital for maintaining neurological health, it simultaneously creates a major obstacle for drug developers. Research shows that the BBB blocks the passage of most chemical compounds, permitting entry only to certain molecules that meet narrow size and chemistry criteria. The result is that even promising therapeutic candidates often fail to produce meaningful effects simply because they cannot reach the brain in sufficient concentrations.The scale of this problem is striking. Scientific consensus suggests that close to 98% of small-molecule drugs and virtually all biologic therapies are unable to cross the BBB effectively, making this a defining limitation in CNS pharmaceutical development. It also contributes disproportionately to clinical trial failures in neurology, compounds that show real therapeutic promise may nonetheless stumble in trials not because the drug is ineffective, but because it cannot reach its target.The downstream consequences reach across some of the most prevalent and devastating conditions in neurology, from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease to primary brain tumors. After decades of intensive research and massive capital investment, effective treatment options for many CNS disorders remain frustratingly scarce. The persistent failure to achieve adequate drug concentrations in the brain has slowed progress across the field, making the search for workable delivery solutions an urgent scientific and commercial priority.Within this context, Oncotelic Therapeutics is developing technologies specifically aimed at getting around these BBB limitations. A concrete marker of progress is the company's recent announcement that it has finalized a strategic monetization agreement with Lunai Bioworks, in which Oncotelic transferred rights to its N2B delivery system for defined applications in biodefense and Alzheimer's disease."Under the terms of the agreement, Oncotelic has granted Lunai Bioworks worldwide rights to the N2B delivery system IP portfolio within defined fields, specifically biodefense medical countermeasures and Alzheimer's disease only," the announcement stated. "The company continues to evaluate additional partnerships to further monetize its portfolio while maintaining strategic control over core assets."By treating delivery infrastructure as a core asset rather than a secondary consideration, Oncotelic is positioning itself within a broader industry move toward integrated solutions that attack the CNS delivery problem head-on.The Growing Weight of Alzheimer's, Neurological DiseaseThe worldwide toll of Alzheimer's disease and other similar forms of dementia is expanding at an alarming pace. According to the World Health Organization, some 57 million people are currently living with dementia globally, a figure projected to grow sharply in the decades ahead as aging populations increase. The human and economic costs of this expansion are substantial, placing mounting pressure on healthcare systems, families, and public finances.Despite this, therapeutic progress has moved slowly. The Alzheimer's Association notes that while researchers have made meaningful strides in understanding the disease at a molecular level, clinical translation has lagged. Drug candidates that look compelling in preclinical settings frequently falter in human trials, often because adequate therapeutic concentrations cannot be sustained within brain tissue, a problem that loops directly back to delivery.New developments across the biopharma landscape highlight both the promise and the stubborn limitations of current approaches. Therapies with demonstrated clinical signals still face ongoing scrutiny over whether effects are consistent and durable, and debates frequently return to the challenge of achieving reliable drug exposure in the brain. These dynamics  support the view that delivery remains one of the defining bottlenecks in CNS medicine.Against this backdrop, Oncotelic Therapeutics is pursuing a position in a segment of the market focused on enabling faster, more reliable access to the brain. By orienting its platform toward targeted and precision delivery, the company is placing itself within a space where solving the delivery problem could substantially improve results across a spectrum of neurodegenerative conditions.Biodefense and the Imperative for Fast CNS InterventionCNS drug delivery is not only a concern for chronic disease, it is also a strategic priority in the area of national security and biodefense. Certain chemical and biological threats act directly on the nervous system, and when they do, the window for effective intervention can be extremely narrow. In these high-stakes scenarios, how fast and how effectively a treatment reaches the brain can mean the difference between survival and catastrophic neurological damage.Federal agencies have taken notice. The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA") plays a leading role in funding medical countermeasure development for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Defense has identified CNS injury treatment and neuroprotection as core research areas, a reflection of the operational importance of maintaining neurological function in personnel exposed to hazardous environments.These policy priorities converge on a shared need: Delivery systems that work fast, bypass conventional physiological obstacles, and ensure therapeutics arrive in the brain at concentrations sufficient to produce meaningful effects. When minutes matter, inefficient delivery translates directly into worsened outcomes.Oncotelic Therapeutics is navigating this landscape by exploring applications of its delivery technology that span both commercial medicine and government-funded biodefense programs. This dual-use potential, which is capable of addressing both civilian neurological diseases and emergency response needs, reflects a broader movement toward versatile platforms that can generate value across multiple high-impact markets.Nose-to-Brain Delivery Emerges as a Leading AlternativeWith conventional drug delivery approaches repeatedly running into BBB-related constraints, alternative methods that circumvent the barrier entirely are attracting growing scientific and commercial interest. Among them, intranasal, or "nose-to-brain," delivery has established itself as a particularly compelling option. This pathway leverages anatomical connections between the nasal passages and the brain to transport therapeutic agents directly into CNS tissue, bypassing the bloodstream altogether.Research highlights the capacity of intranasal delivery systems to meaningfully improve drug transport to the brain while keeping systemic exposure low. Evidence from multiple studies indicates that this approach can raise bioavailability and reduce adverse effects—a combination that makes it attractive for long-term use in neurological conditions where patients require sustained treatment.Industry analysis from Deloitte reinforces this trend, noting that CNS therapeutic innovation is shifting its center of gravity from new molecular entities toward delivery technologies. As pharmaceutical and biotech companies seek more consistent clinical outcomes, the ability to get drugs to the right place in the right amounts is increasingly the variable that separates success from failure.Oncotelic's N2B delivery system embodies this philosophy. Designed as a device-enabled approach to direct CNS delivery, it offers a potential alternative to traditional systemic or intramuscular routes. By bypassing the blood-brain barrier, the platform is engineered to accelerate therapeutic onset and improve targeting of the neurological pathways implicated in both acute biodefense emergencies and chronic conditions like Alzheimer's disease.Platform Strategies Are Reshaping CNS InnovationThe trajectory of CNS drug development is moving away from single-asset bets and toward platform-based architectures that can support multiple therapies, indications and commercial pathways. Unlike conventional drug development models, platform approaches offer scalability and adaptability, both qualities particularly suited to an area such as CNS medicine, where diverse conditions often share the same core delivery challenges.Platform-based models allow companies to spread risk across multiple programs while building on a shared technological foundation. By engineering systems that can be configured for different drugs or conditions, developers create multiple routes to revenue while reducing overexposure to any single program's outcome. This structure also aligns naturally with the principles of precision medicine, in which targeted delivery is integral to achieving outcomes that are both effective and patient-specific.For investors, platform strategies carry a distinct appeal. They offer exposure across a range of markets, including neurodegenerative diseases and biodefense, while creating natural opportunities for partnerships, out-licensing, and monetization. This blend of near-term revenue potential with long-term pipeline value is especially compelling in a sector where timelines are long and the risk of any individual asset failing is high.Oncotelic Therapeutics is building along these lines. Its focus on scalable, adaptable delivery infrastructure positions the company to pursue multiple CNS indications from a shared platform base. By combining short-term monetization strategies, such as the Lunai Bioworks agreement, with longer-term development opportunities, the company reflects an industry-wide shift toward approaches that address both the scientific complexity and the commercial realities of the CNS space.The challenge of delivering drugs to the brain persists as one of the most consequential barriers in contemporary medicine. With Alzheimer's disease caseloads climbing and national attention focusing on biodefense, the demand for faster and more reliable CNS delivery solutions is intensifying. Meeting that demand will require progress not just in discovering new compounds but in reimagining how those compounds are transported to their targets.Companies working to overcome the blood-brain barrier and enable targeted, efficient brain delivery are staking out positions at the leading edge of a significant shift. Oncotelic Therapeutics is one participant in this broader movement, advancing platform-based approaches designed to expand what is therapeutically possible in CNS medicine. As the field continues to evolve, the capacity to deliver drugs reliably and precisely to the brain may well emerge as the central determinant of future medical progress.Biopharma Innovation Continues Advancing TherapeuticsThe biopharma and advanced therapeutics sector continues to see strong momentum as companies expand research pipelines, pursue strategic partnerships and accelerate development of next-generation treatments targeting complex diseases.

Lunai Bioworks Completes $20 Million Preferred Issuance to Acquire CNS Delivery and Neurotherapeutic IPMay 4, 2026 9:35 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Transaction Adds Dual BBB Delivery Strategies, Supports Alzheimer's Programs, Combination Therapies, 505(b)(2) Pathways, and CNS Countermeasure ApplicationsSACRAMENTO, Calif., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunai Bioworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNAI) today announced the completion of a $20 million preferred equity issuance to acquire intellectual property assets from two counterparties, expanding the Company's central nervous system (CNS) platform with complementary neurotherapeutic compounds and delivery technologies. The acquired portfolio is designed to address a key limitation in neurological disease treatment, including Alzheimer's disease, where the blood-brain barrier (BBB) can restrict therapeutic access to the brain. The expanded intellectual property portfolio introduces complementary CNS delivery technologies and multi-agent, combinatorial therapeutic approaches, which will be integrated into Lunai Bioworks IP, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, broadening the Company's growing platform of neurological disease and biodefense applications.







The transaction integrates two distinct CNS delivery approaches into Lunai's platform: a BBB-crossing prodrug system and a nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery pathway that bypasses the BBB via olfactory and trigeminal routes. Together, these approaches are intended to support both individual and combination therapies, align with Lunai's AI-driven patient stratification strategy, expand potential applications across neurological disease, 505(b)(2) development pathways, and CNS-targeted biodefense and countermeasure programs, and position Lunai for potential partnership, licensing, and non-dilutive funding opportunities.The acquired intellectual property expands Lunai's ability to connect therapeutic discovery with delivery, supporting a more integrated approach to CNS drug development. By pairing compound design with delivery optimization, the Company is advancing a framework aimed at increasing drug concentration in the brain while reducing systemic exposure. This approach addresses both challenges by combining novel neurotherapeutic compounds with complementary delivery technologies, improving CNS access and enabling multi-agent, combinatorial strategies. Together, the portfolio strengthens Lunai's ability not only to deliver therapeutics to the brain, but to develop and deploy both single-agent and combination therapies that target distinct aspects of disease biology. This approach may be applicable across multiple neurological indications as well as in settings requiring rapid CNS access.Lunai's Augusta platform is designed to stratify patient populations based on underlying biological drivers rather than traditional disease classifications. The integration of these assets is expected to support the development of targeted therapeutic combinations matched to specific patient subgroups, including in the context of neurological disease and acute toxic or environmental exposures. This combined approach is intended to improve the efficiency of candidate selection and advancement.The combined platform is also expected to support multiple regulatory pathways, including potential 505(b)(2) opportunities for reformulated or repurposed therapeutics. These pathways may enable more efficient development timelines and reduced clinical risk relative to traditional de novo drug development programs.In addition, the expanded intellectual property portfolio is expected to strengthen Lunai's role in biodefense-related initiatives, including its Pathfinder program, by increasing its capacity to evaluate and deploy CNS-targeted countermeasures. This includes the potential use of established pharmacological agents in combination with alternative delivery approaches designed for rapid administration and central nervous system access following chemical or environmental exposures."This transaction brings together complementary CNS delivery approaches that address one of the most persistent challenges in neurological drug development," said David Weinstein, Chief Executive Officer of Lunai Bioworks. "By integrating these technologies with our existing platform, we are expanding our ability to develop and deliver targeted therapies, while also opening additional pathways for partnership, licensing, and non-dilutive funding."On May 1, 2026, the Company completed the Merger and issued the Series B Preferred Stock having an aggregate Stated Value of $20,000,000 to the Holders. The Merger and the related issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock is the principal transaction undertaken by the Company to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq Stockholders' Equity Rule and the Company will determine and disclose the equity treatment of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with applicable accounting standards. After giving effect to the Merger, the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, and based on the Company's preliminary accounting and fair-value analysis, the Company believes its stockholders' equity exceeds the $2.5 million minimum required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The Company is awaiting the Panel's formal determination of compliance with the Stockholder's Equity Rule. There can be no assurance that the Panel will determine that the Company has satisfied the Stockholders' Equity Rule, and any such determination by the Panel is subject to the Panel's continuing review of the Company's disclosures, financial condition and progress toward compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If the Panel determines that the Company has not satisfied the conditions set forth in the Panel's decision (as so extended), Nasdaq may take further action to delist the Company's common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.About Lunai Bioworks, Inc.

Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) Launches National Chemical Defense Consortium Targeting $400M-$1.2B U.S. Countermeasure Programs; 3-Year AI Antidote Development Model

March 19, 2026

AI platform integrates academic and defense research to accelerate rapid antidote discovery and federal stockpiling for emerging chemical threats.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI), through its wholly owned subsidiary BioSymetrics, today announced the formation of a national consortium designed to accelerate the discovery and development of chemical countermeasures for emerging battlefield and terrorism threats. The Pathfinder Consortium, a national academic–industry alliance designed to consolidate historically siloed U.S. chemical warfare preparedness resources into a unified, execution-ready infrastructure capable of accelerating medical countermeasure development to approximately three years.

For decades, America's chemical defense capabilities have existed in fragmented silos: academic toxicology labs, military research units, federal agencies, and biotech innovators operating independently. Pathfinder integrates these capabilities into a coordinated framework engineered for speed, capital efficiency, and national readiness.

A 3-year regulatory pathway, not a 10-year drug timeline
Unlike traditional pharmaceutical development cycles, chemical countermeasures can follow accelerated regulatory pathways.

The Pathfinder model is structured to:
• Demonstrate efficacy in yeast and cell-based systems
• Validate therapeutic effects in FDA-recognized zebrafish models
• Complete two confirmatory animal studies
• Conduct a 50-person Phase I safety study

The full process can be completed in approximately 36 months.

In many cases, existing FDA-approved drugs may be repurposed, potentially reducing timelines even further.

"Chemical defense cannot operate on a decade-long pharmaceutical clock," said David Weinstein, CEO of Lunai Bioworks. "The regulatory framework allos for speed, and Pathfinder is designed to execute within that accelerated pathway."

Responding to the new invisible battlefield
With rising geopolitical tensions in Iran and across the Middle East, and the rapid integration of AI, autonomous drones, and chemical payload delivery systems, Lunai believes the threat landscape has shifted materially.

The modern battlefield is no longer confined to visible front lines. It is algorithmic. It is airborne. It is chemical.

Pathfinder represents a strategic response, a scalable national platform positioned for what the Company envisions as a potential "Warp Speed 2" era of chemical preparedness.

Strategic and financial significance
Validated countermeasures are typically procured by the U.S. government for national stockpiling programs ranging between $400 million and $1.2 billion per program.

By mobilizing and organizing national capabilities, Pathfinder positions BioSymetrics to:
• Access non-dilutive funding sources Compete for BARDA, DoD, and Homeland Security programs
• Pursue large-scale federal procurement contracts
• Monetize repurposed compounds through rapid deployment pathways
• Diversify revenue beyond traditional biotech development cycles

The Consortium leverages BioSymetrics' proprietary AI-enabled phenotypic platform, integrating machine learning analytics with high-throughput vertebrate screening to rapidly identify toxicologic signatures and therapeutic leads.

National Leadership and Execution Framework
Pathfinder includes collaboration with nationally recognized experts, including:
• Dr. Calum MacRae (Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School)
• Dr. Vik Bebarta (Colonel, U.S. Air Force Reserve; University of Colorado)
• Dr. Randall Peterson (University of Utah)
• Dr. Vincent Jo Davidson (Purdue University)

By aligning academic, military, and AI-driven biotech capabilities under a single operational structure, Pathfinder transitions chemical defense from a fragmented research model into an execution-oriented national preparedness platform.

About Lunai Bioworks
Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) is an AI-enabled biotechnology company advancing rapid in vivo phenotypic drug discovery across CNS and biodefense applications.

As outlined in their recent shareholder update (https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lunai-bioworks-inc-issues-letter-to-shareholders-302682738.html), Lunai Bioworks is focused on strengthening its core technology platform, expanding its defensible intellectual property moat, and building scalable AI infrastructure capable of supporting long-term pharmaceutical collaborations. The issuance of this patent and the advancement of additional applications represent tangible execution against that strategy.

"Precision disease subtyping begins with clean, standardized multimodal data," said David Weinstein, Chief Executive Officer of Lunai Bioworks. "This patent protects the critical first step in our closed-loop AI architecture, increasing confidence in biomarker discovery, disease stratification, and gene network mapping across our CNS and biodefense programs. Strengthening our AI infrastructure moat is central to our long-term value creation strategy."

The newly issued patent protects the foundational first step of Lunai's proprietary closed-loop disease reverse engineering platform, multimodal data standardization and structural bias removal prior to predictive modeling.

AI-driven drug discovery models are only as reliable as the data they ingest. Hidden dataset bias and fragmentation across genomic, clinical, imaging, and phenotypic sources can distort biomarker discovery and reduce translational reliability. Lunai's patented architecture systematically detects, standardizes, and removes structural bias across multimodal inputs before downstream artificial intelligence modeling begins.

By protecting this core data layer, Lunai strengthens its ability to accurately identify biologically coherent patient subtypes and trace those subtypes to the gene networks most strongly associated with each disease type.

Lunai Bioworks to acquire CNS drug delivery platform and Alzheimer’s assets for $20M

March 26, 2026

Lunai Bioworks Inc. (NASDAQ:LNAI) said it has signed a binding agreement to purchase blood-brain barrier delivery technology and central nervous system Alzheimer’s drug assets from Clemann Group, SAS in a deal valued at $20 million.

The acquisition value is more than double Lunai’s current market capitalization of approximately $9.71 million, with the company’s shares recently trading around $0.40 after falling roughly 94% over the past year.

Under the terms of the transaction, the purchase will be financed through Series B Convertible Preferred shares issued at a fixed conversion price of $1.50 per share. The structure includes a 19.9% beneficial ownership cap and contains no variable pricing or reset features, according to the company’s statement.

The acquired technology includes a platform designed to deliver therapeutic compounds across the blood-brain barrier. The system enables drug candidates to enter the brain while remaining inactive in the rest of the body, activating only once inside the central nervous system. The approach targets biological pathways associated with acetylcholinesterase modulation.

“We are now combining the ability to identify the right biology with a validated mechanism to deliver therapies directly into the brain,” said David Weinstein, CEO of Lunai Bioworks.

The company said the acquisition enhances its Alzheimer’s disease pipeline and broadens its capacity to develop therapies for central nervous system disorders.

Lunai Bioworks operates as an AI-driven life sciences company that integrates clinical data, machine learning and in vivo validation in its drug discovery efforts, with a focus on CNS diseases and oncology.

In other recent developments, Lunai Bioworks has taken steps to manage financial pressures by temporarily furloughing employees in the United States and Canada as it seeks additional funding and works to conserve cash.

The company has also begun an AI-based analysis of colorectal cancer clinical trial data in partnership with an undisclosed clinical-stage collaborator. The project uses the Augusta AI platform to examine patient outcomes, focusing on overall survival and disease progression.

Additionally, Lunai has introduced Sentinel, an AI safety system intended to prevent foundation models from generating novel chemical agents. The tool integrates with large language and scientific AI systems to screen molecular outputs.

Separately, the company reported completing key milestones in an NIH-supported research initiative, leading to the launch of a commercial drug discovery program targeting Alcohol Use Disorder. The program analyzes high-resolution behavioral patterns associated with ethanol exposure and withdrawal to identify neurobehavioral signals that current treatments address only partially.

Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) Launches National Chemical Defense Consortium Targeting $400M-$1.2B U.S. Countermeasure Programs; 3-Year AI Antidote Development ModelMarch 19, 2026 9:57 AM
PR Newswire (US)

AI platform integrates academic and defense research to accelerate rapid antidote discovery and federal stockpiling for emerging chemical threats.SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI), through its wholly owned subsidiary BioSymetrics, today announced the formation of a national consortium designed to accelerate the discovery and development of chemical countermeasures for emerging battlefield and terrorism threats. The Pathfinder Consortium, a national academic–industry alliance designed to consolidate historically siloed U.S. chemical warfare preparedness resources into a unified, execution-ready infrastructure capable of accelerating medical countermeasure development to approximately three years.







For decades, America's chemical defense capabilities have existed in fragmented silos: academic toxicology labs, military research units, federal agencies, and biotech innovators operating independently. Pathfinder integrates these capabilities into a coordinated framework engineered for speed, capital efficiency, and national readiness.A 3-year regulatory pathway, not a 10-year drug timelineUnlike traditional pharmaceutical development cycles, chemical countermeasures can follow accelerated regulatory pathways.The Pathfinder model is structured to:Demonstrate efficacy in yeast and cell-based systemsValidate therapeutic effects in FDA-recognized zebrafish modelsComplete two confirmatory animal studiesConduct a 50-person Phase I safety studyThe full process can be completed in approximately 36 months.In many cases, existing FDA-approved drugs may be repurposed, potentially reducing timelines even further."Chemical defense cannot operate on a decade-long pharmaceutical clock," said David Weinstein, CEO of Lunai Bioworks. "The regulatory framework allos for speed, and Pathfinder is designed to execute within that accelerated pathway."Responding to the new invisible battlefieldWith rising geopolitical tensions in Iran and across the Middle East, and the rapid integration of AI, autonomous drones, and chemical payload delivery systems, Lunai believes the threat landscape has shifted materially.The modern battlefield is no longer confined to visible front lines. It is algorithmic. It is airborne. It is chemical.Pathfinder represents a strategic response, a scalable national platform positioned for what the Company envisions as a potential "Warp Speed 2" era of chemical preparedness.Strategic and financial significanceValidated countermeasures are typically procured by the U.S. government for national stockpiling programs ranging between $400 million and $1.2 billion per program.By mobilizing and organizing national capabilities, Pathfinder positions BioSymetrics to:Access non-dilutive funding sources Compete for BARDA, DoD, and Homeland Security programsPursue large-scale federal procurement contractsMonetize repurposed compounds through rapid deployment pathwaysDiversify revenue beyond traditional biotech development cyclesThe Consortium leverages BioSymetrics' proprietary AI-enabled phenotypic platform, integrating machine learning analytics with high-throughput vertebrate screening to rapidly identify toxicologic signatures and therapeutic leads.National Leadership and Execution FrameworkPathfinder includes collaboration with nationally recognized experts, including:Dr. Calum MacRae (Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School)Dr. Vik Bebarta (Colonel, U.S. Air Force Reserve; University of Colorado)Dr. Randall Peterson (University of Utah)Dr. Vincent Jo Davidson (Purdue University)By aligning academic, military, and AI-driven biotech capabilities under a single operational structure, Pathfinder transitions chemical defense from a fragmented research model into an execution-oriented national preparedness platform.About Lunai BioworksLunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) is an AI-enabled biotechnology company advancing rapid in vivo phenotypic drug discovery across CNS and biodefense applications.

Lunai Bioworks Kicks Off AI-Driven Oncology Pilot to Analyze Phase 2 Colorectal Cancer TrialFebruary 18, 2026 9:05 AM
IH Market News
Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) has launched a new oncology collaboration with a clinical-stage partner to apply artificial intelligence to data from a randomized Phase 2 trial in metastatic colorectal cancer.The initiative aims to identify biologically relevant patient subgroups that could derive the greatest benefit from the investigational therapy. As part of the pilot agreement, Lunai will use its proprietary Augusta AI platform to assess de-identified patient-level data, including clinical variables, imaging results and longitudinal outcomes, with a particular emphasis on overall survival and disease progression.By combining conventional clinical metrics with AI-extracted imaging features and time-based treatment response patterns, the company plans to develop data-driven enrichment strategies to support FDA trial design. These may include refined inclusion criteria, endpoint optimization and improved statistical powering.“This collaboration reflects how AI can unlock hidden value in existing oncology datasets,” said David Weinstein, Chief Executive Officer of Lunai Bioworks. “Our platform is built to identify which patients derive the greatest survival benefit from a drug candidate, enabling smarter development decisions and potentially accelerating the path toward approval.”The partnership begins as a targeted pilot but could expand into a broader, multi-study commercial program depending on results. If the analysis proves successful, both parties may explore applying the approach across additional tumor types, earlier treatment lines and adaptive trial frameworks such as basket or umbrella designs.As drug developers increasingly turn to AI-based patient stratification tools to mitigate late-stage trial risk, Lunai’s model positions the company at the intersection of machine learning, precision oncology and clinical development optimization.Patient stratification involves segmenting trial participants into defined subgroups based on factors such as biomarkers, genetic profiles or disease severity. This approach can enhance statistical power by reducing variability, lowering bias and improving the ability to detect treatment effects in patients most likely to respond.Further details on the collaboration are expected to be included in a shareholder letter scheduled for release today.

PR Newswire (US)

SACRAMENTO, Calif. , Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --







Dear Shareholders,We have completed our AI platform in the last 12 months and now it is commercial. Negotiations are moving forward with several pharmaceutical and drug discovery companies. Partnerships and collaborations are imminent. Why? -because Lunai Bioworks operates a closed loop AI system that is truly disruptive (and complementary) to current discovery platforms and that turns complex biology into real-world action in several ways with less cash burn and new revenue streams. Our Augusta platform starts with real biological signals from patients — genetic, molecular, and clinical data — and uses artificial intelligence to reverse-engineer diseases into biologically defined subgroups. Instead of asking, "What drug hits this target?" Lunai asks, "What biology is actually driving this subgroup of patients?"Then comes the part most AI companies can't do.Lunai rapidly tests its predictions in living systems using high-throughput in vivo models. That means its drug ideas aren't just computer outputs — they're biologically validated early, before hundreds of millions of dollars are spent. Our approach is designed to shorten pharmaceutical companies' current drug discovery programs from over 2 years to under a year, same them substantial money, and increase the probability of success.In short:Better data ? smarter targets ? earlier proof ? lower risk.Lunia has established three revenue driven enginesA) AI Drug Discovery: enabling pharmaceutical companies to understand disease biology and design better clinical trials, so promising therapies reach patients faster. We have established new fully owned company technologies for royalty-based partnerships.  While we have been focused on CNS diseases today, we launched a new AI oncology pilot with a clinical-stage partner using our Augusta platform to re-analyze data from a randomized Phase 2 metastatic colorectal cancer survival trial—work that can expand into a broader commercial relationship. We validated the foundation for this project in our work for Northwell Health and J&J (Janssen) using real-world hospital data from severe COVID-19 patients to show that different patient subgroups experience very different outcomes. This program demonstrated that analyzing large clinical datasets can reveal which patients are most likely to benefit from specific treatments, reinforcing the value of Lunai's precision-medicine approach.B) AI Bio-Defense discoveries: using AI to detect emerging chemical/biological threats, understand their effects quickly, and help identify effective antidotes and countermeasures. This initiative applied our same technology stack in reverse. We already understand chemical toxicity which we use to screen out potential new drugs. For biodefense we can use our data in combination with other large data sets to identify new chemical weapons, test antidotes in our closed loop in vivo system, and can then identify countermeasures.  Our goal is to monetize this program through government contracts.C) Immunotherapy: we reported that its next-generation allogeneic dendritic cell (DC) immunotherapy achieved complete regression of both primary and metastatic pancreatic tumors in preclinical humanized mouse models, and that these results were published in a peer-reviewed Brief Report in the journal Vaccines (Nov. 2025). We have recieved an LOI to license the therapy and are currently in discussion with several other companies for licensing other parts of our oncology platform.Path A: AI Drug Discovery — making clinical trials smarter and more likely to succeedDespite billions spent every year, drug development still fails more than it succeeds — especially in brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, alcohol use disorder, and epilepsy. The traditional model is slow, expensive, and based largely on educated guesswork. Companies pick a target, design a drug, and hope it works in humans years later. Most don't. The reason that no drugs have worked for what call Alzheimer's and Parkinsons is that the "one-size-fits-all" drugs were doomed from the start because the assumption was wrong. Each category of these CNS diseases is defined by a collection of different biological subtypes. By standardizing human data, and then using AI to reverse engineer the disease, Lunai traces the biology of each subtype to the related genes and then discovers potential drugs of interest and test them in living systems. We did this for Supernus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SUPN) by identifying the right epilepsy subgroup for their lead candidate (SPN_817) phase 2 clinical trial. We have recently announced three distinct types of Parkinsons and are working towards commercial deals in Parkinsons and Alzheimer's.We announced today that we are also applying our drug discovery platform to cancer through the launch of a new oncology collaboration with a clinical-stage partner to analyze data from a randomized Phase 2 metastatic colorectal cancer trial. Cancer trials are expensive and difficult, and many fail late because the right patients weren't identified early enough. What we're doing in the program announced today is straightforward to explain:We're using Augusta to learn more from existing clinical trial data—combining patient clinical data, AI-derived imaging signals, and long-term outcomes—to identify which patients benefit most from a new colon cancer drug and why. Our technology platform identifies biologically meaningful subgroups that are designed to enable our partner to:enroll the right patients,choose the right endpoints,size trials more accurately,and reduce costly and time consuming late-stage risk in programs targeting FDA submissions.  This engagement begins as a defined pilot, with a clear path to expand into a multi-study commercial relationship based on results. For Lunai, this is the kind of near-term work that can translate into repeatable revenue while proving out our approach in real-world datasets. Path B: AI Bio Defense discoveries, - prevention, response, and countermeasures when time mattersIn parallel, Lunai has built a biodefense platform aimed at a hard problem: modern threats can spread quickly, and decision-makers often need answers when information is incomplete.Our biodefense stack is designed to support the full lifecycle: Sentinel (Prevention): AI systems designed to help detect and prevent the misuse of chemical and biological knowledge before harm occurs. Pathfinder (Response): rapid assessment of emerging threats—predicting potential toxicity, affected organ systems, and mechanisms of action. CounterAct (Countermeasures): identifying and validating antidotes, including rapid repurposing of approved drugs and development of novel countermeasures where none exist. Our objective is to help the U.S. and allied stakeholders prepare for elevated geopolitical risk, including the possibility of chemical weapons deployment, and to support evaluation, regulatory pathways, and potential stockpiling of effective countermeasures. We are actively in negotiation's with Government programs and with private-sector partners given the urgency and national security alignment of this work, and we intend to share more details in the near term.  How these two paths fit togetherBoth efforts rely on the same core idea: AI should not just generate hypotheses, - we have put AI to work owning serious patents and IP today, so it delivers usable answers:In healthcare: answers and tools that improve trial design and reduce development risk.In biodefense: answers and tools that improve prevention, readiness, response, and treatment options under pressure.What we're focused on next (near-term milestones)Over the coming period, our focus is to:Advance late-stage commercial discussions across clinical data analytics, precision trial design, and biology-driven discoveries. Finalizing biodefense funding conversations and defining the roadmap for Sentinel, Pathfinder, and CounterAct.  Complete a big new pharma Royalty partnership program on in-house immunotherapy technologies. We know many of you have read several Lunai announcements recently. The message we want to leave you with is simple: Lunai has established three immediately scalable revenue generating engines; AI powered drug discovery for CNS diseases and cancer and AI Bio Defense discoveries and tools, each designed for real-world impact, and each capable of creating long-term value and partnerships when implemented and executed with discipline; - our high level focus is driven by one thing only - creating value for our Shareholders. We are trying to fix one of the most expensive problems in medicine using a model that aligns perfectly with how drug development is evolving. When it executes, the gap between what it is today and what it could become is exactly how shareholder value is created.Thank you for your continued support and confidence in Lunai's mission for a safer and better future for all. Sincerely,David WeinsteinChief Executive OfficerLunai Bioworks, Inc. Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding potential clinical impact, therapeutic benefit, development timelines, partnering strategy, and commercial value.

Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) Launches Sentinel, an AI Safeguard to Block Large Language Models from Generating Novel Chemical WeaponsJanuary 27, 2026 3:36 PM
PR Newswire (US)

Transformer-based biosecurity layer embeds directly into foundation models, using Lunai's proprietary toxicology and in-vivo datasets to detect and prevent creation of previously unknown threat agents in real time.SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As global attention intensifies around the dual-use risks of advanced artificial intelligence in chemistry and biology, Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) today announced the deployment of Sentinel™, a transformer-based AI safeguard designed to be embedded directly within large language and scientific foundation models to prevent the generation of novel chemical agents. Built on Lunai's expansive molecular AI platform and strengthened by proprietary toxicology and in-vivo phenotypic datasets, Sentinel operates as a real-time biosecurity layer, screening molecular outputs before they are produced and stopping potentially hazardous designs at the source. The launch positions Lunai at the forefront of AI safety infrastructure as governments, regulators, and technology developers move to address emerging biosecurity risks associated with increasingly capable generative models.







"We built Sentinel to function as the immune system for scientific AI," said David Weinstein, CEO of Lunai Bioworks. "As AI models become more powerful, safety has to move closer to the core. Sentinel operates inside AI systems — not outside them — stopping dangerous chemical designs before they are ever produced."Modern chemical weapons are increasingly designed to be short-acting, localized, and infrastructure-preserving, enabling tactical use without large-scale destruction. Recent battlefield reports from Ukraine indicate the repeated use of banned chemical agents to force defenders from fortified positions, underscoring the re-emergence of chemical weapons in modern conflict. As artificial intelligence accelerates the speed at which new compounds can be designed, the risk of rapidly developed, previously unseen chemical threats continues to grow.Lunai Bioworks has structured its biodefense strategy to address this evolving threat landscape through three integrated programs: Sentinel (AI-based prevention of dangerous molecular design), Pathfinder (rapid identification of novel chemical agents and selection of potential countermeasures from existing stockpiles), and Counteract (development of new medical countermeasures for emerging threats).Executives at major AI research organizations have publicly emphasized that as foundation models grow more capable in scientific reasoning, biosecurity safeguards must evolve from policy discussions into embedded technical controls. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has highlighted the importance of preparing for biological misuse risks as AI systems advance, while Aleksander Madry, Head of Preparedness at OpenAI, has stressed the need for proactive defenses against emerging AI-enabled threat vectors. Sentinel answers that call by providing a purpose-built molecular security layer that integrates directly into AI workflows, helping ensure powerful generative systems are used for innovation, not misuse.Embedding Safety at the Core of Scientific AISentinel uses transformer-based molecular encoders trained to recognize structural and mechanistic signatures associated with toxicological and chemical-weapons-relevant activity. When an AI system attempts to design, analyze, or suggest a molecule, Sentinel can evaluate the request in molecular embedding space and can flag or block outputs linked to neurotoxic, cytotoxic, or other hazardous mechanisms, including patterns consistent with known chemical threat pathways.Unlike conventional keyword filters or rule-based screening, Sentinel identifies latent risk in novel molecular structures, even when no public toxicity annotation exists. This allows it to prevent unsafe outputs that traditional AI safety systems would not recognize.Scientific Validation Powered by Massive Proprietary DataSentinel is built on Lunai's transformer-based chemical foundation model trained on:~550 million public chemical structures, and fine-tuned with,Lunai's proprietary in-house biological, toxicological, and phenotypic datasets generated through its AI-driven in vivo screening and molecular intelligence platformsThis proprietary data layer significantly enhances Sentinel's ability to detect previously uncharacterized toxic signatures, recognize hidden similarity to known threat mechanisms, and deliver higher-confidence predictions on entirely novel molecular structures.Because Sentinel's detection operates in deep molecular embedding space, it can identify subtle structural and functional relationships that would be invisible to surface-level AI safety tools.AI Safety Meets National Security InfrastructureSentinel's release comes as policymakers and industry leaders focus on the growing intersection of AI capability and biosecurity risk. Advanced AI models are increasingly capable of assisting in scientific design tasks, raising the need for embedded safeguards that operate at the molecular reasoning level rather than relying solely on external moderation layers.Sentinel is designed to support:AI developers seeking integrated biosecurity protectionGovernment agencies concerned with AI-enabled chemical and biological threatsLife sciences platforms requiring safe molecular design environmentsUnlike generative chemistry tools that could be misused to create harmful agents, Sentinel is built exclusively for prediction, screening, and prevention.About Lunai BioworksLunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) is an AI-powered drug discovery and biodefense company pioneering safe and responsible generative biology.

Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) Expands NIH-Funded AI Program into Commercial Alcohol Use Disorder Drug DiscoveryJanuary 26, 2026 2:30 PM
PR Newswire (US)

AI Platform Achieves Key Milestones, Triggering Launch of Alcohol Use Disorder ProgramSACRAMENTO, Calif. , Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI), an AI-powered drug discovery and biodefense company, today announced it has completed a key commercial milestone under its NIH STTR-supported initiative, generating high-resolution, multidimensional behavioral signatures of ethanol exposure and alcohol withdrawal. Using high-throughput vertebrate screening, the company identified distinct, reproducible neurobehavioral phenotypes that are only partially addressed by currently approved therapies, highlighting previously underexplored biological mechanisms with strong translational potential. Based on these results, the company has initiated a new commercial drug discovery program targeting Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), a condition affecting approximately 30 million individuals in the U.S. alone, with over 95% receiving no effective pharmacologic treatment.







Lunai's AUD program is designed to advance differentiated, mechanism-informed therapeutic candidates toward clinical translation, while remaining strategically positioned for partnerships, licensing, and non-dilutive funding opportunities. With scalable screening infrastructure now operational, the company believes the program can rapidly progress toward candidate nomination and downstream development."These results underscore both the magnitude of unmet need in Alcohol Use Disorder and the commercial opportunity for biologically grounded, precision therapies," said David Weinstein, CEO of Lunai Bioworks. "Our strategy is to build high-value, partner-ready programs that leverage our platform to address large, underpenetrated CNS markets."The program is supported by a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is being conducted in collaboration with Dr. Calum MacRae, Vice Chair, Scientific Innovation at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Alcohol Use Disorder represents one of the largest and most underserved markets in neuropsychiatry. Excessive alcohol use is estimated to cost the U.S. economy approximately $250 billion annually, contributes to over 200 disease states, and is the leading global risk factor for mortality among adults aged 15–49. Despite this burden, fewer than 5% of individuals with AUD are treated by a healthcare professional, reflecting both therapeutic limitations and biological heterogeneity."Alcohol Use Disorder is not a single disease but a spectrum of biologically distinct states," said Dr. Calum MacRae. "This work demonstrates that high-resolution behavioral phenotyping can reveal mechanistic signals that conventional approaches miss, creating a rational foundation for precision therapeutic development."About Lunai BioworksLunai Bioworks (NASDAQ: LNAI) is an AI-powered drug discovery and biodefense company pioneering safe and responsible generative biology.
