BioImagene Inc. to Present at Medtech Insight and Windhover Information's ``Investment In Innovation (In3) WEST'' Conference, February 23-24, 2006, Irvine, CA.IRVINE, Calif. -- BioImagene Inc. has announced that it will be presenting on 23rd Feb. '06 at Medtech Insight and Windhover wind·hov·er n. Chiefly British A kestrel. Information's "Investment In Innovation (In3) WEST: A Preview of Early-Stage Medical Technology Companies" Conference, Feb. 23-24, 2006, at the Hyatt Regency Regency, in British history, the period of the last nine years (1811–20) of the reign of George III, when the king's insanity had rendered him unfit to rule and the government was vested in the prince of Wales (later George IV) as regent. Irvine in Irvine, Calif. BioImagene Inc. is a leading company pioneering a new generation of image informatics Same as information technology and information systems. The term is more widely used in Europe. solutions targeted to the specific needs of the life science research and medical diagnostic workspace. BioImagene provides sophisticated Bio-Image Analysis & Management products built on the technology platforms SIMS SIMS Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry SIMS School of Information Management and Systems SIMS Sun Internet Mail Server SIMS Student Information Management System SIMS Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences (National Research Council, Canada) (TM) & iHarness(TM). BioImagene's products allow pathologists to effectively analyze and manage tissue image data. These web-based automated informatics tools provide consistent, reproducible and objective analysis of tissue images, while support storage, retrieval and data sharing The ability to share the same data resource with multiple applications or users. It implies that the data are stored in one or more servers in the network and that there is some software locking mechanism that prevents the same set of data from being changed by two people at the same time. for peer review, improving the standard of patient care and increasing the speed of drug discovery. Tissue analysis forms the core component of the drug development cycles, from target identification, lead validation and clinical trials to Tox-Path screenings and disease diagnosis. More than 70% of the pathological 1. pathological - [scientific computation] Used of a data set that is grossly atypical of normal expected input, especially one that exposes a weakness or bug in whatever algorithm one is using. data is in form of tissue images. Despite the technological advancements, the pathological evaluation of thousands of tissues samples still remains very manual: pathologists still spend hundreds of hours looking at a glass slide to make a diagnosis. A huge increase in the drug candidates entering development and the specimens for evaluation has led to a growing need for a comprehensive approach to pathology evaluation called 'Digital Pathology.' TissueMine(TM), a tissue-informatics application from BioImagene, caters to the industry bottlenecks by facilitating automation and standardization standardization In industry, the development and application of standards that make it possible to manufacture a large volume of interchangeable parts. Standardization may focus on engineering standards, such as properties of materials, fits and tolerances, and drafting of evaluation of histopathological tissue specimen images, assisting pathologists to direct their efforts on more challenging areas of abnormalities. Its self-learning engine analyzes image using color, intensity, and morphological mor·phol·o·gy n. pl. mor·phol·o·gies 1. a.

The web-based architecture helps the community to share the information in a more effective way and for cost-efficient statistical analysis. Twelve of the world's leading pharmaceuticals are successfully using our solutions. The application can analyze the slides of tissue sections stained for various biomarkers, and can store and manage this image data for peer review and consultation. Importantly, these systems are also hardware independent, and can be customized as per the existing workflow. At BioImagene we believe that Digital Pathology is the next big frontier of unexplored opportunities in an untapped market, and we are well positioned to lead that wave with focus on "Pathology Imaging."
