GenoMed Secures Additional Financing
ST. LOUIS, Jan 20, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- GenoMed Inc. ("the Company" or "GenoMed")(National Quotation Bureau's Pink Sheets Symbol GMED) announced today that the Company has secured an additional $900,000 in equity financing from Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ADOT). This financing is separate and in addition to the up to $500,000 financing secured by the Company in October 2003 (see company press release of October 22, 2003).

Terms of the Agreement call for a capital investment into GenoMed of $900,000 in exchange for restricted common shares of GenoMed at a 25% discount to market. The financing Agreement will be available for public review within the Company's next filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at www.sec.gov .

Dr. David Moskowitz, GenoMed's CEO and Chief Medical Officer said, "I am pleased to report to the shareholders of our Company that we have secured financing that will allow the Company to accelerate our search for new disease genes, while also spreading the word about diseases we can manage based on the 'master' disease gene we've already found."

Dr. Moskowitz continued, "The capital infusion will be spent mostly on genotyping, sample collection, and data analysis. We shall also commit some money to educating the public about being able to prevent 90% of kidney failure in this country, as well as significantly delay the progression of emphysema. Positive results for West Nile virus encephalitis, psoriasis, and late stage pancreatic cancer will be published soon. Trials are in progress for a number of diseases, including SARS and the flu."

Dr. Moskowitz ended by saying, "I believe this transaction is extremely fair. It limits the dilution to our existing shareholders as the Company moves forward."
