Zyvex President Tours Australian R&D Centres for Nanotech Gems; Australia, Home to Global Names Such as pSividia, Starpharma, Alchemia, and Bionic Ear Maker Cochlear.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Australia, which is fast becoming a world leader in smart nanotech materials such as "invisible" coatings, and revolutionary nanobio technology, has attracted one of the US nanotech leaders to its shores in search of breakthrough technology. Zyvex President Dr. Tom Cellucci will tour the region with a special focus on R&D centers that are producing highly sought after nano products. Cellucci is also keynote at Australia's "Living in a Nano World" (26 - 28th September 2005, Melbourne). The tour is being organized by Australia's investment attraction agency Invest Australia. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Senior Investment Commissioner for North America Robert Hunt: "Zyvex is visiting Australia to acquaint itself first-hand with the nanotechnology market opportunities, as well as to get a more in depth knowledge of a variety of break-through research being conducted at Australian research institutions." "Many of the latter present exciting collaborative potential and commercial opportunities," Hunt said. "Invest Australia arranged an impressive program with leaders in the fast growing Australian nanotech space," said Cellucci. "Zyvex is attracted to Australia because of the fine R&D coming out of the region, and real and successful nano companies that have global significance. There is a real possibility that we will find technology we want to license or purchase. Australian nanotech certainly has a wealth of opportunities that we need to see first hand," said Cellucci. Dr. Cellucci will be meeting with some of Australia's foremost nanotechnologists including Dr. Terry Turney, CSIRO CSIRO Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (Australia) ; Prof. Simon Ringer and Dr. Miles Apperley of the Nanostructured Analysis Network Organisation; Prof. Janis Matisons, Flinders University; Dr. Peter Binks, Nanotechnology Victoria; and Assoc. Prof. Erol Harvey, MiniFab. He will also be will be visiting the National Centre for Advanced Materials Technologies at Monash University and the Australian Synchotron site at the Clayton Campus.
