HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 6 June 2023 - LiveSpo is the first representative from Vietnam to participate in the BIO International Convention, an exhibition showcasing breakthrough biotechnology solutions, held in Boston, USA. This demonstrates remarkable development of the Vietnamese pharmaceutical sector in the realm of biotechnology.

The BIO International Convention, held annually in the United States in June, attracts approximately 14,000 attendees from 65 countries. It serves as a platform for biopharmaceutical companies, investors, and government leaders to exchange ideas, present research findings, and explore partnership opportunities in the field.
This year, the convention takes place from June 5 to 8 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in Massachusetts, USA. Among the 1,200 booths, LiveSpo Pharma proudly represents Vietnam as the sole participant, introducing "Made in Vietnam" spore probiotics technology for respiratory disease treatment.
Dr. Nguyen Hoa Anh, R&D Director and Chairman of LiveSpo Pharma, will present LiveSpo's breakthrough spore probiotics technology at the BIO International Convention 2023. This technology features liquid-form, multi-strain, high-concentration probiotics, including the flagship product LiveSpo NAVAX, a pre-active SPL spore probiotic delivered in the form of nasal spray.
After undergoing rigorous clinical trials aligned with US standards, LiveSpo NAVAX has emerged as the world's first spore probiotic nasal spray. Its significant impact on reducing treatment duration for acute respiratory infections in children has been proven. LiveSpo NAVAX demonstrates an exceptional ability to reduce the load of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) by 600-fold and influenza virus by 900-fold. The safety and remarkable efficacy of this product have been published in the esteemed Scientific Reports journal (Nature), and the article ranked among the top 100 most downloaded in 2022.
