Mainz Biomed Secures Public Funding to Advance Innovative Pancreatic Cancer Screening Test

BERKELEY, Calif. and MAINZ, Germany, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mainz Biomed N.V. (NASDAQ:MYNZ) ("Mainz Biomed" or the "Company"), a molecular genetics diagnostic company specializing in the early detection of cancer, is pleased to announce that its pancreatic cancer project will receive public funding from the Investitions- und Strukturbank Rheinland-Pfalz (ISB), the development bank of the German federal state of Rheinland-Pfalz.

Under the ISB's Innovation and Technology Support Program (Innovations- und Technologieförderungsprogramm), the state will fund up to 50% of the project's total costs. This direct governmental support represents a strong endorsement of the scientific and societal value of Mainz Biomed's non-invasive, blood-based screening test for the early detection of pancreatic cancer and will accelerate its development.

The award of the public grant underscores the medical and technological relevance of Mainz Biomed's approach. The project aims to close a critical gap in cancer diagnostics by detecting pancreatic cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage.

"This support from the ISB is a strong vote of confidence in the potential of our technology and the importance of early detection in combating pancreatic cancer," said Dr. Moritz Eidens, CSO of Mainz Biomed.

The project is currently in the feasibility phase. Together with Crown Bioscience, Mainz Biomed is evaluating the performance of a panel of mRNA biomarkers and a ML-driven algorithm, using real clinical blood samples. This work is part of ...
