</div>ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Biomedical today announced the grand opening of its world-class manufacturing facility spanning more than 26,000 square feet in Alpharetta, Georgia. The opening marks the most advanced commercial-scale manufacturing site for Micron’s dissolvable vaccine and therapeutic technology in the world and positions the company for pivotal clinical trials that will accelerate the availability of needle-free vaccines and therapeutics that can be self-administered at home. “A significant body of evidence has shown that our dissolvable microarray technology is as effective as — or more effective than — conventionally injected medicines. Parents, patients, government officials, drug developers, public health leaders, and payers also prefer needle-free vaccines and therapeutics that are simpler and more cost-effective to transport and store,” said Steven Damon, CEO of Micron Biomedical. “Our novel technology requires equally innovative manufacturing equipment capable of scaling production, and this facility brings us one step closer to making that vision a reality.” <img alt="Micron Biomedical opens commercial-scale manufacturing site in Alpharetta, Georgia." height="400" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/31153de2-caed-4aa2-b291-ebeed2652b70/ribbon-cutting-micron-team.jpg" width="600" data-dpi="300" data-caption="National and Georgia leaders spanning government, financial, life science industry and academia joined Micron Biomedical employees and partners at a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of a 26,000 square foot facility in Alpharetta, Georgia.
