The addition of Dr. Ting as Senior VP of Engineering adds yet another excellent member to our formidable, senior management team. We now have all key senior management positions filled for the first time in our short history as PBI. We also have a strong patent position, and have placed or sold PCT Sample Preparation Systems into the laboratories of a number of industry thought leaders throughout the United States. We are seeing the initial emergence of scientific publications and presentations by independent researchers that are citing the features and benefits of PCT. We are beginning to receive name recognition as a company, there are a growing number of potential customers, and we have access to sufficient cash to meet our short and mid-term goals. These are truly very exciting times for Pressure BioSciences."

Dr. Ting commented: "We see an existing and growing market for robust, versatile, and user-friendly sample preparation systems to fill a variety of needs in the genomic and proteomic fields. To that end, it is our plan to design and develop a wide range of PCT-based instruments, from simple, hand-held devices to elaborate, high throughput, fully automated machines. In addition to sample preparation, it is also our goal to become a worldwide leader in the use of high pressure technology in many other important areas of the life sciences. I am both excited and pleased to have the opportunity to work with the talented and hard-working staff that has now been assembled to help our Company achieve these goals."
