Biophytis to Host Key Opinion Leader Meeting on the Biology of Aging and its
Application in Neuromuscular Diseases

Paris (France), November 27, 2018 - BIOPHYTIS (Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS), a
clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of drug
candidates to treat the disabilities caused by age-related degenerative
diseases, will host a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) meeting on the Biology of Aging
and its Application in Neuromuscular Diseases in Geneva, Switzerland on
Wednesday, November 28 at 12:15 PM to 2:00 PM CET.

The meeting will feature a presentation by KOL Professor Jean Mariani, from
Sorbonne University, who will discuss his research behind the biology of aging
and the current treatment landscape for patients with sarcopenia, a
degenerative loss of muscle mass and quality that leads decreased patient
mobility and loss of independence in the aging population. Prof. Mariani will
be available to answer questions at the conclusion of the event.

Professor Jean Mariani is Director of the Institut de la Longévité Charles
Foix [Longevity Institute], and a practitioner at the hospital, director of the
CNRS-UPMC (UMR 7102) Laboratoire de Neurobiologie des Processus Adaptatifs
[Laboratory of Neurobiology of Adaptive Processes]. Professor Jean Mariani is
an expert in neurobiology, central nervous system and pathologies, and
neurodegenerative illnesses.

Biophytis's Chief Executive Officer, Stanislas Veillet, will provide an
overview of the Company's lead candidate, SARCONEOS, a MAS receptor activator
that is in clinical development for sarcopenia and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy,
a fatal genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness.

This event is primarily intended for institutional investors, sell-side
analysts, and business development professionals. Please RSVP in advance if you
plan to attend, as space is limited. For those who are unable to attend in
person, a live webcast and replay will be accessible via the link here. If you
would like to ask a question during the live Q&A, please submit your request
