Fibrocell Science Hosting R&D Day on September 24, 2014

Fibrocell Science, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCSC), an autologous cell therapy company focused on developing first-in-class treatments for rare and serious skin and connective tissue diseases with high unmet medical needs, today announced that it will host an R&D Day in New York on September 24, 2014. Presentations by key opinion leaders will include the Company’s lead orphan disease program that uses genetically-modified autologous fibroblasts—developed in collaboration with Intrexon Corporation (NYSE:XON), a leader in synthetic biology—to treat recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a debilitating, genetic skin disease. In addition, updates will be presented on two Phase II clinical trials for azficel-T, Fibrocell’s proprietary autologous fibroblast technology, for vocal cord scarring and restrictive burn scarring. Both studies leverage the Company’s existing BLA for azficel-T through supplemental drug applications to develop treatments for serious scarring conditions.

Attendance at R&D Day is by invitation only for institutional investors and equity analysts. If you are interested in attending, please contact Susan Noonan at susan@sanoonan.com.

Presentations at R&D Day will be webcast live on the Fibrocell Science website: http://www.fibrocellscience.com/investors/events-and-presentations/. A replay of the event will be archived on the Fibrocell Science website for 30 days.
