| Presenters:
Michael Weiner, CEO, Biophan, Inc.
Biophan Technologies develops and markets cutting-edge technologies designed to make biomedical devices safe and compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment. The Company develops enabling technologies for implanted medical systems such as pacemakers, and interventional surgical devices such as catheters and guidewires, as well as stents and other implants that can be safely and effectively imaged under MRI. The technology is also being used to create enhanced MRI contrast agents. Committed to growth through innovation and developmental leadership, Biophan and its licensors have 16 issued U.S. patents and 60 patents pending, in areas including nanotechnology (nanomagnetic particle coatings), radio frequency filters, polymer composites, biothermal batteries, and photonics. BiophanÕs technology will help realize its goal of one day making all biomedical devices capable of safely and successfully working with MRI. For more information, please visit www.biophan.com.
Dr. Jocelyn Harrison, Branch Head, Advanced Materials, NASA
