Biophan CEO to Present Drug Delivery Technologies at the Pharma Finance 2005 Conference in Rome; CEO to Outline Business and Growth Plan Through Commercialization of Intellectual Property Portfolio.ROCHESTER, NY -- Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). : BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ), a developer of next-generation medical technology, will present an overview of its proprietary drug delivery technologies at the Pharma Finance 2005 conference at the Jolly Hotel in Rome, Italy, on June 23-24. "The Pharma Finance conference in Rome provides us with a valuable opportunity for high level exposure for our drug delivery technologies," said Mr. Weiner. "We are pleased to see that a number of important pharmaceutical companies are attending. We have several one-on-one meetings with these companies at the conference." "Biophan's drug delivery technology arose from our work to fine tune nanomagnetic nanoparticles so they resonate at a specific frequency," Mr. Weiner explained. "The technology was originally developed in support of our work on safety and visualization of medical devices. The ability to fine tune particles to specific frequencies led to the concept of using the nanomagnetic particles to selectively control drug release as well as to reduce the toxicity of the drugs." Details on the drug delivery technology can be viewed at http://www.biophan.com/products.php by selecting Drug Delivery from the menu.

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 140 U.S. patents, licenses, or applications. This total includes 38 issued U.S. patents, 9 recently-allowed applications that will issue as patents in the near future, and 93 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) ) and NASA's Ames Center for Nanotechnology. Biophan's goal is to make all biomedical devices capable of safely and successfully working with MRI, and delivering other technologies which will improve quality of life.
