The City and County of San Francisco (EN IPA: [sænfrənˈsɪskoʊ] . Biophan's Mr. Weiner will join other technology experts from government, academia, and industry on a select panel entitled, "The Future of Small Medicine: Micro and Nanotechnology in Healthcare." Panel members will discuss the clinical impact of micro and nanotechnologies in orthopedics, neurology, cardiology, oncology, and trauma care. They will also explore the development of technological solutions to enable current and future health delivery systems to combat the nation's healthcare crisis. "Biophan's role in the biotech community is one of technology-driven innovation and vision," said Mr. Weiner. "Our goal is to improve medical care and the quality of life through our cutting-edge research and development, which leverages our substantial and growing patent and intellectual property portfolio. We are grateful for this unique opportunity to dialog with our colleagues in the healthcare and biotechnology sectors."

The Company develops enabling technologies for implanted medical systems such as pacemakers Pacemakers Definition A pacemaker is a surgically-implanted electronic device that regulates a slow or erratic heartbeat. Purpose Pacemakers are implanted to regulate irregular contractions of the heart (arrhythmia). and interventional surgical devices such as catheters, guidewires, stents, and other implants to allow them to be safely and effectively imaged under MRI. The technology is also being used to create MRI contrast agents, and has expanded to include other applications, such as drug delivery and power systems derived from body heat. Four Biophan technologies include advances in nanotechnology and thin film coatings. Committed to growth through innovation and developmental leadership, Biophan and its licensors now hold a total of 114 U.S. patents, licenses, or applications. This total includes 36 issued U.S. patents, 6 recently-allowed applications that will issue as patents in the near future, and 72 pending applications at various stages of examination at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, plus international applications. The patents cover areas including nanotechnology (nanomagnetic particle coatings), radio frequency filters, polymer composites, thermoelectric ther·mo·e·lec·tric also ther·mo·e·lec·tri·cal adj. Characteristic of, resulting from, or using electrical phenomena occurring in conjunction with a flow of heat. materials for batteries generating power from body heat, and photonics. Biophan has joint development arrangements with Boston Scientific The Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) (abbreviated BSC), is a worldwide developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices whose products are used in a range of interventional medical specialties, including interventional cardiology, peripheral interventions, (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :BSX BSX Bermuda Stock Exchange BSX Bandai Satellaview-X BSX Bicycle Super-X (Cross) - News) and NASA's Ames Center for Nanotechnology.
