SEATTLE, May 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atossa Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ:ATOS) (“Atossa” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics and delivery methods to treat breast cancer and other breast conditions, today announced its support of the 19th Annual National Women’s Health Week lead by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office on Women’s Health. The annual observance kicks off on Mother’s Day, May 13th and is celebrated through May 19th, 2018. The week serves as a reminder for women to make their health a priority and build positive health habits for life.

“As a leading clinical-stage company developing treatment options for breast cancer, we also encourage women to make their health a priority.
