Mr. Weiner said, "Specialty medical technology companies such as Biophan are playing increasingly important roles in healthcare industry innovation. We are bringing to market solutions that traditional venture capital sources may not fund, such as our stent and pacemaker technologies. There are many other promising innovations that fall outside of the sweet spot of venture capital sources, but can be superb opportunities for alternative financing vehicles, such as the public market financing sources we at Biophan are successfully utilizing. I am delighted to be speaking at the Global Conference 2006 and look forward to participating on the panel and sharing the Biophan experience in bringing important new innovations to the healthcare field. The Milken Conference panel is exploring how foundations and healthcare researchers can interact with industry organizations and alternative funding vehicles. We are very excited to have been asked to participate."
