Visionary Holdings Navigates a New Era of Precision Medicine, Achieving Major Breakthroughs in Targeted Therapy

TORONTO, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In today’s era of rapid technological advancement, the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the medical field is bringing unprecedented hope to human health. Among these advancements, targeted therapy, a cornerstone of precision medicine, is gradually reshaping the treatment landscape for cancer and other major diseases with its unique advantages. Visionary Holdings (Nasdaq Stock Code: GV), a globally influential multinational corporation, stands at the forefront of this medical revolution, leading targeted therapy to new heights.

Targeted therapy, an innovative treatment based on molecular biology, precisely targets diseased cells while sparing healthy ones, significantly improving treatment efficacy and reducing the side effects associated with traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Drugs like Erlotinib for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer and Herceptin for HER2-positive breast cancer have markedly improved patient survival rates. With the progress of precision medicine, targeted therapy is not only excelling in cancer treatment but is also expanding into areas such as neurodegenerative diseases and autoimmune disorders. According to McKinsey Global Institute, the global biopharmaceutical market is projected to exceed $1.5 trillion by 2030, with the precision medicine sector expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 10%, indicating a highly promising future for targeted therapy.

Visionary Holdings has keenly recognized the immense potential of the biopharmaceutical field and has actively invested in cutting-edge areas such as tumor-targeted therapy, gene sequencing, AI-assisted drug development, and liquid biopsy. The company is focused on advancing next-generation immunotherapies, gene editing, and precision oncology, enhancing biomarker detection and liquid biopsy technologies, and leveraging AI to accelerate drug development. It has also successfully developed rapid at-home testing technologies for cervical and colorectal cancers, increasing cancer screening coverage and providing significant convenience for early diagnosis.

In practical terms, Visionary Holdings has driven substantial breakthroughs in targeted therapy through a series of strategic investments and collaborations. The company has made strategic investments in leading biotech firms to co-develop third-generation EGFR inhibitors aimed at overcoming drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer patients. This drug is currently in global clinical trials and has garnered widespread attention. Additionally, Visionary Holdings has partnered with top gene sequencing companies to develop liquid biopsy technologies, enabling real-time monitoring of cancer progression through non-invasive blood tests, making treatments more precise and efficient.

Furthermore, Visionary Holdings has collaborated with numerous global biotech leaders, AI pharmaceutical giants, and medical research institutions to pioneer innovative projects. In targeted drug development, the company is focusing on specific gene mutations such as HER2, BRAF, and KRAS to develop next-generation anticancer drugs. By utilizing AI drug discovery technologies, deep learning algorithms are employed to analyze protein structures, significantly speeding up drug screening and optimization. Its global clinical trial network spans North America, Europe, and Asia, accelerating the time-to-market for new drugs and benefiting more patients.

Looking ahead, the combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy will become a trend, and AI will be deeply integrated into precision medicine, substantially shortening drug development cycles and reducing costs. The application scope of targeted therapy will continue to expand, offering hope to patients with a wider range of diseases. Visionary Holdings will continue to leverage its cutting-edge technology, strategic vision, and global collaboration network to deepen its commitment to targeted therapy and precision medicine. The company is dedicated to developing next-generation targeted drugs, improving global patient access to advanced treatments, leading the new era of precision medicine, and writing a new chapter in the pursuit of human health.

Air Premia Enhances Flight Safety with IATA Turbulence Aware

  • Air Premia to Adopt IATA Turbulence Aware Starting March 1, 2025
  • Real-Time Turbulence Data to Enhance Safety and Passenger Comfort

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Air Premia (CEO Kim Jae-hyun, Yoo Myung-sub) announced today that it will introduce IATA Turbulence Aware, a cutting-edge safety tool developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), starting on March 1, 2025. This advanced system leverages real-time in-situ turbulence reports to enhance flight safety and passenger comfort. As of the end of last year, more than 25 airlines worldwide were contributing and utilizing Turbulence Aware data across more than 2,600 aircraft. By accessing real-time turbulence information, Air Premia’s flight crews will be better equipped to avoid or mitigate the effects of turbulence, ensuring safer and smoother flights.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, airlines experienced 14,802 turbulence encounters in the first half of 2024, marking a 78% increase compared to five years ago. By adopting Turbulence Aware, Air Premia can shift from a forecast-based response to a real-time response, thereby improving its ability to secure safer flight paths.

The implementation of Turbulence Aware will enable Air Premia to effectively respond to Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) in airspace where turbulence was not predicted, and to adjust flight operations when predicted turbulence does not occur, reducing safety incidents for both passengers and crew.

In addition to joining the platform, Air Premia is committed to safety by sharing turbulence information in pre-flight briefings with flight and cabin crew, adjusting service timings for passengers, and introducing GE Aerospace’s flight data monitoring system, ‘Safety Insight,’ to identify and manage potential risks during flights.

Koh Yoon Beom, Director of Safety & Security Division at Air Premia, stated, “By adopting IATA Turbulence Aware, we can strengthen customer trust and enhance our safety image. We are dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable flying experience for our passengers.”

Dr. Xie Xingquan, IATA’s Regional Vice President for North Asia and Asia Pacific (ad interim) said: “We welcome the participation of Air Premia in Turbulence Aware. Making use of accurate and up-to-date data in Turbulence Aware helps flight crews’ efforts to avoid or at least mitigate the effects of turbulence. The quality of this data improves with each new contributing airline. Air Premia’s contribution will help the industry improve the safety and comfort of crew and passengers alike.”

The independent third-party report is published after Bybit restored reserves levels to a 1:1 ratio for in-scope digital assets within 72 hours following a major incident on Friday, Feb. 21.

A full audit of all relevant wallets containing 40 asset types,  by way of proof of liabilities and ownership, verified that Bybit possesses sufficient reserves to cover user assets 1:1 across the board. Key assets including BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT and USDC exceed 100% collateral ratios on Bybit.

  • Comprehensive Audit Process: Hacken conducted an extensive audit of Bybit’s liabilities, utilizing the Merkle tree to verify the integrity of the assets reported.
  • User Address Verification: Hacken obtained information from Bybit management regarding all public key addresses holding in-scope assets and verified expected blockchain transactions to confirm control and ownership.
  • Rigorous Validation Procedures: The validation process included a thorough review using the official Merkle proof validation methods, ensuring the accuracy of the reported liabilities.

“Bybit’s focus on transparency through regular Proof of Reserves audits and independent assessments sets a strong standard within the industry. We appreciate being part of this important initiative during this critical period,” said Yevheniia Broshevan, Co-Founder & CBDO at Hacken.

As of Feb. 24, Bybit fully closed the ETH gap of client assets within 72 hours.
