EASTGATE, Wash.--(Business Wire)--
CellCyte Genetics Corporation (OTCBB: CCYG) announced today the appointment of
Dr. Douglas Cerretti as Chief Science Officer and Director of Business
Development, effective November 1, 2009. "I am very pleased to accept this
appointment to guide the development of CellCyte`s bio-reactor product toward
commercialization," said Dr. Cerretti. 

CellCyte`s bioreactor product is a cell expansion device that allows the culture
of cells at high density and under precisely controlled oxygenation, providing
an alternative to standard cell culture methods. CellCyte plans to develop this
technology for applications in research laboratories and for clinical use. 

Dr. Cerretti is a biopharmaceutical research scientist with experience in drug
development across different therapeutic areas. From 1984 to 2002 he served with
Immunex and, after Immunex` acquisition in 2002, with Amgen in positions ranging
from Staff Scientist through Scientific Director. Dr. Cerretti retired from
Amgen in 2007. He is the author or co-author of more than 100 scientific
publications and has over 40 issued US Patents to his name. 

Dr. Cerretti has been involved with CellCyte as an independent consultant, and,
since November of 2008, has helped refine CellCyte`s Interim Operating Plan.
This plan defines how the Company will operate, with limited funding over the
next six to twelve months, to continue the commercialization of its bioreactor
product. Dr. Cerretti`s appointment is the first of several planned appointments
required to fully implement the Interim Operating Plan. CellCyte expects to
formally adopt the plan by the end of 2009. 

"We are very confident that Doug has the experience and skills necessary to help
lead the execution of the Interim Operating Plan and to build a successful
Research and Development team," said John M. Fluke Jr., Chairman of the Board of
Directors. "Doug joins me and Randy Lieber as CellCyte`s new management team,
following the resignations of Gary Reys, the prior Chief Executive Officer, and
Ron Berninger, CellCyte`s previous Chief Science Officer. These resignations
were part of our consent decree settlement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission negotiated in May of 2009 and finalized in September 2009, which
brought to a close their investigation of CellCyte, and allows us to devote all
of our energies to product research and development."
