(OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ), a developer of next-generation 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 that it has been named to receive the Nano Science and Technology Institute's (NSTI NSTI Nano Science and Technology Institute NSTI National Summer Transportation Institute NSTI Nashville State Technical Institute NSTI National Statistics Training Institute ) Early Stage Company Award, to be presented at its February 23-25 conference in Tokyo, Japan. The ICS-NSTI's Early Stage Company Award recognizes superior innovation and achievement by development-stage companies providing leadership in the science and business of nanotechnology. NSTI is a respected organization that works to promote education, research and business development in nanoscience and related fields. Biophan has developed a rich portfolio of patents and intellectual property that provide a range of solutions to important problems in healthcare, among them, the application of nanotechnology to improve the safety and effectiveness of Magnetic Resonance Imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures. (MRI 1. (application) MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2. MRI - Measurement Requirements and Interface. ), one of medicine's most important diagnostic tools. "We're gratified grat·i·fy tr.v. grat·i·fied, grat·i·fy·ing, grat·i·fies 1. To please or satisfy: His achievement gratified his father. See Synonyms at please. 2. that Biophan's continuing advances in nanotechnology have been recognized by the Nano Science and Technology Institute," said Michael Weiner Michael Weiner can refer to:
The ICS-NSTI Early Stage Company Award includes a modest cash award and an invitation for Biophan's representative to address attendees at the Tokyo conference, to present the Company's advanced nanotechnology-based biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. solutions and research. Approximately 20,000 nanoscience research and business professionals are expected to attend the conference. In addition, Biophan has been accepted by NSTI into its Nanotech Ventures program commencing at the Nanotech 2005 Conference and Trade Show on May 8-12, in Anaheim, California “Anaheim” redirects here. For Annaheim, see Annaheim, Saskatchewan. Anaheim is a city in Orange County, California, located 28 miles southeast of Los Angeles. . Biophan will make a presentation at that gathering, as part of the organization's Nanotech 2005 Early Stage Company Review, a forum designed to allow companies to showcase their technologies and solutions. About the Nano Science and Technology Institute The Nano Science and Technology Institute (NSTI) is chartered with the promotion and integration of nano and other advanced technologies through education, technology and business development. NSTI accomplishes this mission through its offerings of consulting services, continuing education continuing education: see adult education. continuing education or adult education Any form of learning provided for adults. In the U.S. the University of Wisconsin was the first academic institution to offer such programs (1904). programs, scientific and business publishing and community outreach. NSTI produces the annual Nanotech conference and trade show, the most comprehensive international nanotechnology convention in the world. NSTI also produces BioNano and Stem Cell stem cell In living organisms, an undifferentiated cell that can produce other cells that eventually make up specialized tissues and organs. There are two major types of stem cells, embryonic and adult. Strategies conferences. NSTI was founded in 1997 as a result of the merger between various scientific societies, and is headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., with additional offices in California and Switzerland.
