 are also expected to attend.

Mr. Weiner's presentation will include discussions of the Company's technologies to enhance products for the medical device industry. He also will discuss the Company's business model. Subjects Mr. Weiner expects to cover include:

--Biophan's suite of proprietary solutions to enable 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.

2. MRI - Measurement Requirements and Interface.
) safety and image compatibility for the $12 billion worth of medical devices shipped annually with MRI limitations, including pacemakers, stents and surgical tools;

--Nanotechnology-based innovations in the growing $40 billion* advanced drug-delivery and drug-elution marketplace;

--A unique ventricular assist device ventricular assist device: see under heart, artificial.  (VAD (Value Added Dealer) Same as VAR. ) called the MYO-VAD, that is designed to maintain blood circulation in patients suffering from heart failure. By not coming into contact with circulating blood the MYO-VAD promises to provide substantial advantages over today's devices by minimizing or eliminating the primary sources of VAD complications such as bleeding, stroke and infection.

--An MRI-safe, ultra-precise, non-magnetic motor, that is made of ceramic materials and can be used in implantable drug-pumps and other applications.

--An implantable and long-lasting biothermal power source that is powered by human body heat, to power medical devices such as neurostimulators and pacemakers. Biophan is working with NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

It has a population of 7,121,911 out of New York State's total 18,976,457. Were it an independent state, it would be ranked 13th by population.  Biotech Day hosted by Johnson & Johnson and New Jobs New York," said Mr. Weiner. "As a technology innovator, Biophan recognizes and supports the need for strong relationships among all of those conducting important primary research in industry and academia, as well as among all the companies that are working to bring new discoveries to the marketplace. Technology innovation is helped enormously by programs such as this."
