Hepaticus Inc

http://www.hepaticus.com

Hepaticus, Inc. develops and commercializes products that accurately model human liver function in order to advance pharmaceutical development. We aim to advance pharmaceutical development for our partners with a proprietary human liver surrogate. Hepaticus produces small animal models containing functioning human liver cells. These animals serve as accurate models of human liver diseases such as hepatitis C, enabling the efficient development of treatments for devastating liver disorders. The same core technology produces robust models of human liver function, critical in the development process of all drugs in order to identify and modify compounds that may pose liver toxicity problems. Hepaticus participates in both the liver drug development and predictive toxicology markets. Competing models of human liver function are severely limited. Existing cell-based and animal models are high cost, immune-suppressed, too fragile to ship to customer sites, and do not consistently predict human disease or the potential failure of drugs due to liver toxicity. These limitations have slowed the pace of drug discovery and contributed to the fact that 40% of all drug failures are due to liver toxicity, undetected in the drug development process. Our products are designed to open this bottleneck. Accurately modeling human liver functionality and delivering this functionality reliably unlocks immediate business opportunities for Hepaticus and its partners. Hepaticus, Inc. is based on the research of Drs. George and Catherine Wu, professors at the University of Connecticut Health Center. Hepaticus holds an exclusive license to the worldwide issued patent covering the proprietary technology. Hepaticus, Inc. is privately held and was established in 2003. The company's facilities are located in Connecticut.

Platform Diagnostics Limited

http://www.platform-diagnostics.com

Formed in 2002, Platform Diagnostics is financed by venture capital investment. We are focused on delivering an affordable, digital rapid immunoassay in response to the demands of the POC market. The integration of a broad range of disciplines has allowed us to develop a new technology - Capillary Agglutination Technology (CAT). CAT provides a platform for digital, rapid, low cost diagnostic tests perfectly suited to the expanding POC market and overcomes the limitations of currently available techniques. Cost, intellectual property, end-user expectations and added distribution chain margins are all factors restricting entry into this market sector. Our founders bring expertise in clinical serology, microbiology, rapid immunoassay, magnetic particles, impedance, life sciences and gene reporter systems. Together with an impressive pedigree of invention, patent prosecution, problem solving and commercial focus, the company is set to revolutionise the POC diagnostic test market. More recently, BBI Holdings Plc and Carclo plc have undertaken to invest in Platform Diagnostics with a view to commercialising this innovative technology.

Genome Technologies Llc

http://www.genome.com

Genome Technologies, LLC. (GT) is a research-driven biotechnology/ genomics company. Our aim is the discovery of disease-causing genes and key genetic and molecular markers with a variety of applications. Genome Technologies has developed a powerful Functional Genomic Fingerprinting (FGF) technology that can be used to rapidly identify the defective genes that cause genetic diseases. This novel genomics technology can be applied to reveal the genetic basis of major illnesses such as hypertension, type II diabetes, allergies, asthma, and Alzhiemer's disease; and it can identify the offending genetic defects in less time and at a significantly reduced cost than could be achieved with other existing genomic research techniques. This platform technology can be used to enable pharmaceutical, agricultural and diagnostic companies to develop their future products rapidly and at a highly reduced cost. This unique technology is possible at Genome Technologies because our professionals have extensive experience and capabilities in bioinformatics and computational biology, and a deep understanding of genome biology, especially as it relates to human morphology and physiology.

Industrial Science & Technology Network , Inc.

http://www.istninc.com

Founded in 1997, Industrial Science & Technology Network, Inc. ("ISTN") is a dynamic, innovative advanced technology company specializing in the development of nanotechnology-enabled products. These products rely on the control of material composition, form and structure at the sub-micron level to deliver a superior combination of cost-effectiveness and performance. The Company's proprietary technology platform, which is based on over 10 years of R&D in organic-inorganic nanostructures, can effectively address customer and end-user needs in a variety of large markets, including building products, chemicals, communications, defense, electronics, medical devices, pharmaceuticals and transportation. In order to enhance its positioning in today's increasingly competitive intellectual property environment, the Company is committed to delivering continued innovation through a fast-paced, highly responsive approach to product development. ISTN's objective is to utilize its platform technology to develop nanotechnology-enabled products for three highly promising application areas- industrial products, opto-electronics and biotechnology. The Company's primary commercialization strategy is to build mutually beneficial relationships with leading manufacturers in these industries to accelerate the path to market of its products. These strategic partnerships allow ISTN to leverage its partners' vast knowledge of market dynamics and commercialize its products without the substantial initial investment required to establish in-house manufacturing capabilities. Meanwhile, they enable the manufacturer to capitalize on the tremendous commercial potential of nanotechnology without having to invest significant internal resources. ISTN is also willing to license a mature technology to a corporate partner or work with investors and partners to create spin-off companies built around ISTN technology. An example of the arrangement mentioned above is ISTN's joint development partnership with Optimax Technology Corporation, a leading manufacturer of polarizers for the LCD industry, to create a next-generation anti-reflection coating for LCD's and explore other novel applications of optical nanotechnology. This relationship also highlights ISTN's commitment to continuous innovation. With the ever-increasing pace of technical advancement in the industry, ISTN believes that a dominant intellectual property portfolio is not enough to maintain a strong competitive position. Consequently, it works with its partners on new R&D initiatives even as it is still preparing to roll out its first co-developed product. Since its founding, ISTN has also teamed with a variety of other corporations in its target application areas, including Armstrong World Industries, Dow Chemical, PPG Industries and Taiwan Synthetic Rubber. In addition, the Company has received numerous research grants from government agencies such as Ben Franklin Technology Partners, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Taiwan's Industrial Technology and Research Institute (ITRI). Because of its R&D team's extensive experience in working with government laboratories and leading research universities, the Company is also able to selectively leverage the fundamental knowledge produced by these institutions. Laboratories and universities with which ISTN has collaborated include the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Sandia National Laboratories, Brown University, Cornell University, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Maryland, and the University of Michigan.
