CeMines to Present at Medtech Insight's ``Investment In Innovation'' Conference.IRVINE, Calif. -- CeMines(TM) announced that it will present at Medtech Insight's Prestigious "Investment In Innovation (In3): A Preview of Early-Stage Medical Technology Companies" Conference, taking place February 10-11, 2005, at the Hyatt Regency Irvine in Irvine, California Irvine is an incorporated city in Orange County, California, United States. It is a planned city, mainly developed by the Irvine Company since the 1960s. Formally incorporated on December 28 1971, the 69.7 square mile (180.5 km²) city has a population of 202,079 (as of 2007). . CeMines is focused on the development and commercialization of clinical diagnostic tests and targeted therapeutics therapeutics Treatment and care to combat disease or alleviate pain or injury. Its tools include drugs, surgery, radiation therapy, mechanical devices, diet, and psychiatry. for cancer. "Central to our scientific discipline is a long-term clinical strategy based on our underlying belief that cost-effective patient care and healthcare reform initiatives must eliminate unnecessary cost elements and duplicative legacy procedures," said Roger Attick, president and chief executive officer. CeMines is preparing to commercialize a family of cancer diagnostic products under the brand: CellCorrect(TM). The Company is targeting lung, breast, GI and prostate cancers prostate cancer, cancer originating in the prostate gland. Prostate cancer is the leading malignancy in men in the United States and is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in men. . CeMines is also undertaking preliminary research into unique therapeutic drugs against cancer, capable of controlling cell regulatory mechanisms. The Company's discoveries are founded on an emerging field of science known as "gene regulation" -- the ability to monitor, target and control the body's cellular regulatory mechanisms. The Company's early research, dating back to 2000, identified unique biomarkers and analysis techniques to interpret the information they contain. Biomarkers establish the profile (or molecular fingerprint fingerprint, an impression of the underside of the end of a finger or thumb, used for identification because the arrangement of ridges in any fingerprint is thought to be unique and permanent with each person (no two persons having the same prints have ever been ) of a specific disease. Further, CeMines is also developing bioinformatics applications. The Company's bioinformatics platform is called CeMines Molecular FingerPrinting fingerprinting Act of taking an impression of a person's fingerprint. Because each person's fingerprints are unique, fingerprinting is used as a method of identification, especially in police investigations. (TM). It allows the identification of unique pathways (or Fingerprints Impressions or reproductions of the distinctive pattern of lines and grooves on the skin of human fingertips. Fingerprints are reproduced by pressing a person's fingertips into ink and then onto a piece of paper. ) of gene and protein expression, in both malignant and non-malignant cells. "CeMines Molecular FingerPrinting will detect and identify cancer and pre-cancerous cells earlier, and with greater accuracy," said Attick. "We are convinced this is a much more desirable approach than is available through more invasive legacy techniques such as biopsy, CT and PET scans PET scan (pĕt) or positron emission tomography (pŏz`ĭtrŏn' ĭmĭsh`ən təmŏg`rəfē) or endoscopies. Further, we believe the future of targeted therapeutics (i.e., personalized medicine CeMines Point of Care(TM) and CeMines Molecular FingerPrinting are the two primary components of a comprehensive, bioinformatics-based clinical care model. CeMines' strategic direction is to empower physicians and healthcare specialists to provide superior care for patients with complex diseases, such as cancer, at a much lower cost. "It is our objective to offer healthcare providers a choice to reduce or eliminate unnecessary and costly third-party procedures," Attick said. "More important to CeMines is knowing that physicians and patients are made aware of the patient's condition sooner, thereby establishing a less reactive approach to treatment."
