With its device-based therapies being an alternative to invasive surgical procedures, APEN’s systems are designed to lower complication rates and reduce total healthcare costs.

TECH PENNY STOCKS #2: VERV
As a biotechnology company Verve Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERV) is pioneering a new approach to the care of cardiovascular disease with single-course gene editing medicines. On July 12th, the company announced that the first patient in its heart-1 clinical trial has been dosed with VERVE-101 – a novel, investigational gene editing medicine.
Bullish on this step, Sekar Kathiresan, M.D. – co-founder & CEO – said that:
The dosing of the first human with such an investigational base editing medicine represents a significant achievement by our team and for the field of gene editing.”
VERVE-101 is developed and designed to be a single-course treatment that permanently turns off the PCSK9 gene in the liver to reduce disease-driving low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Initially, the VERVE-101 treatment is being developed for patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) – a prevalent and potentially life-threatening subtype of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
Andrew Bellinger, M.D., Ph.D. – chief scientific and medical officer – believes this treatment has huge potential. He highlights the growing need for VERVE-101 saying:
With the current standard of care treatment for HeFH, less than 20% of patients achieve LDL-C goal levels due to the limitations of the chronic model which requires rigorous patient adherence, regular health care access, and extensive health care infrastructure.”
With this in mind, VERV’s VERVE-101 will position the company to capitalize on this extremely lucrative underserved market. It is clear investors are quickly realizing the untapped potential of the company following this announcement as shown by the massive increase in its PPS on Wednesday.
Cooling off after its run-up, VERV is now trading at $24.3 with a new resistance of 26.03. The stock has support at 20.46 and 15.46. Accumulation has been climbing steadily but is recently witnessing a slight dip. However, the MACD is on a recent bullish crossover and the RSI is now cooling off despite being overbought at 82 beginning of the trading day.

The precision oncology company, Tyra Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYRA), is focused on developing purpose-built therapies to overcome tumor resistance and improve outcomes for patients with cancer. Since Q1 2022, the company has shown major corporate progress. Aside from well-capitalizing with cash and cash equivalents of $292.5 million, TYRA is also working on enhancing its pipeline.
With the company’s ongoing developments, CEO Todd Harris believes this is the perfect time for TYRA to prepare for a successful transition to a clinical-stage company. He assures investors of these efforts saying: “We look forward to filing INDs for both TYRA-300 and TYRA-200 this year while continuing to advance our platform and pipeline”
Following its run-up, TYRA is now trading at $10.52 with a new resistance at 11.39. The stock shows support at 7.05 and 6.3.
