Biophan CEO to Present at the SRI Institute's Medical Device Investor and Corporate Development Conference.ROCHESTER, N.Y -- Conference to Focus on Convergence of Drugs, IT, and Medical Devices; Investors' Insights on Future Opportunities in the Medical Device Industry Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). : BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ) an innovator, developer and marketer of MRI-related and other advanced biomedical technology Biomedical technology involves the application of engineering and technology principles to the domain of living or biological systems. Usually biomedical denotes a greater stress on problems related to human health and diseases. , announced today that the Company's CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Michael Weiner Michael Weiner can refer to:
Mr. Weiner will cover some recent advances developed by Biophan's technology partner, Nanoset, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , which has recently filed several new patents regarding the use of nanomagnetic particles to enhance the uptake and release of drugs in medical device coatings. Under the expanded relationship between Nanoset and Biophan, announced earlier this year, the Company has exclusive rights to all applications developed by Nanoset in the field of medical devices. Specific topics that Mr. Weiner will highlight include: --Generating power from body heat using thin-film coating for diagnostics and therapeutics --Coatings for allowing post-implant drug uptake and release --Controllable recharging of drugs in coatings --Controllable drug elution elution /elu·tion/ (e-loo´shun) in chemistry, separation of material by washing; the process of pulverizing substances and mixing them with water in order to separate the heavier constituents, which settle out in solution, from the (release) --Detection and treatment of plaque, inflammation, and infection --Broad diagnostics and therapeutics --Coating nanoparticles for use as contrast agents, thus allowing multiple markers in single procedures Commenting on his presentation, Mr. Weiner stated, "While we have previously announced our initiatives in biothermal power sources and contrast agents, today we are publicly announcing for the first time that, through Nanoset, we are involved in the development of drug elution technologies."

(MRI 1. (application) MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2. MRI - Measurement Requirements and Interface. ) equipment. 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 and guidewires, as well as stents and other implants that can be safely and effectively imaged under MRI. The technology is also being used to create enhanced MRI contrast agents. Committed to growth through innovation and developmental leadership, Biophan and its licensors have nine issued U.S. patents and over fifty patents pending, in areas including nanotechnology (nanomagnetic particle coatings), radio frequency filters, polymer composites, photonics, and a long-life power source for use in implanted medical devices. Biophan's technology will help realize its goal of one day making all biomedical devices capable of safely and successfully working with MRI. For more information, please visit www.biophan.com.
