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:
  • Michael Savage, the talk-radio host and commentator whose real name is Michael Weiner,
  • Michael Weiner, the academic and professor,
  • Michael Weiner, the actor and composer.
, will be a presenter and panel participant at the Strategic Research Institute's Medical Device Investor and Corporate Development Conference today at the Hyatt Regency Princeton in Princeton, NJ. The panel will specifically discuss the growing convergence of medical devices, drugs, and information technology. Joining Mr. Weiner on the panel are Jeanne M. Bertonis, Chief Business Officer of Angiotech Pharmaceuticals Angiotech TSX: ANP is a Vancouver, British Columbia pharmaceutical company. Its products enhance the performance of medical devices and biomaterials through the use of pharmacotherapeutics. , Inc., a $1.6 billion market cap manufacturer of drug-coated medical devices and drug-loaded surgical implants, and Astro Teller, CEO of BodyMedia.

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."
