Applied Spectral Imaging Names Eric W. Wilkinson General Manager, Genetic Systems.Business Editors & Health/Medical Writers MIGDAL HA'EMEK, Israel--(BW HealthWire)--Oct. 24, 2001 Applied Spectral Imaging Spectral imaging is a branch of spectroscopy in which a complete spectrum or some spectral information (such as the Doppler shift or Zeeman splitting of a spectral line) is collected at every location in an image plane. (ASI ASI, n See Anxiety Sensitivity Index. ) announced today the appointment of Eric W. Wilkinson as General Manager, Genetic Systems. Mr. Wilkinson will focus on developing multiplexing systems, including molecular probes Molecular Probes is a biotechnology company located in Eugene, Oregon specializing in fluorescence. The company was founded in 1975 by Richard and Rosaria Haugland in their kitchen in Minnesota, then moved briefly to Texas and finally to Oregon in the early 1980s. , for the genomic and other biotechnological markets. Mr. Wilkinson was previously President of Genetic Vectors, a biotechnology company that specializes in the discovery of genetic patterns in order to develop tools for the biopharmaceutical industry.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ASI, said, "I am delighted to welcome Eric to the ASI team. ASI's imaging technology has the unique ability to discriminate multiplexed genomic targets. We are sure that Eric's expertise and experience will contribute to our business growth and help us to expand our presence in the genomic and biotechnology arena." Mr. Wilkinson added, "ASI's technology shows exciting promise since it sidesteps many of the limitations found in current multiplexing techniques. I am looking forward to the challenge of developing systems that will exploit ASI's technology and produce cutting-edge development tools for a range of biotech industries." Before assuming his current position at ASI, Mr. Wilkinson was President of Genetic Vectors and of its wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock.
