NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Atossa Genetics, Inc. ("Atossa" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ATOS).  Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
