October 12, 2010 | Mid-Atlantic Bio Conference Reveals Companies Selected to Present at October Conference WASHINGTON D.C. (October 12, 2010)—Mid-Atlantic Bio today announced a much anticipated line-up of companies selected to present at their upcoming 2010 Mid-Atlantic Bio Conference, being held October 27-29 at the North Bethesda Marriott Convention Center in Bethesda, Md. Dedicated to promoting the biotechnology industry in the Mid-Atlantic region, the conference is hosted collectively by the region’s most influential bioscience and investor associations, the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association (MAVA), the Tech Council of Maryland/MdBio (MdBio) and the Virginia Biotechnology Association (VaBIO). Each year at Mid-Atlantic Bio, a limited number of life science companies are chosen to present before a sought-after audience that includes a variety of capital sources, from corporate business development professionals to venture capitalists, angel investors, and various other qualified financing sources along with important industry professionals, peer scientists, company leaders and potential strategic partners. Over the past seven years, more than 1,200 companies have participated in Mid-Atlantic Bio, with more than 100 of those as presenters on the program, resulting in hundreds of millions in private financings and corporate investments, M&A activities, strategic partnerships and industry collaborations. This year’s conference features three tracks that will highlight the company presenters that were chosen including the Showcase track, Emerging Growth track and a newly added First Look/Fast Pitch track. The companies chosen specialize in medical devices, health care IT, diagnostics, drug development, pharmaceuticals, biotherapeutics, biopharmaceuticals, therapeutics and gene therapeutics. “Hearing the scientific advances and business cases directly from some of the leading seasoned and newly formed enterprises adds richness to this conference that is extremely powerful,” says Julia Spicer, Executive Director of the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association (MAVA). “Showcasing companies at various stages of development encourages future innovation as well as connections that foster investment opportunities, collaboration and partnering and the sharing of best practices – all at the core of Mid-Atlantic Bio.” To be selected for a speaking spot at the conference, companies went through a multi-phase application review and competitive selection process. Numerous companies applied and were judged against such criteria as scientific interest, technology innovation, stage of development, addressable market, or recent enterprise advances and milestones achieved. The following companies were chosen to present within each track: Showcase: Emerging Growth: First Look/Fast Pitch: Amita Shukla, Principal of New Enterprise Associates and member of the 2010 Selection Committee, notes that “The Selection Committee, with input from a qualified cross-section of industry and investor sources, is pleased to present a line-up of multi-staged companies this year, each with a unique opportunity to explore.” Now in its seventh year, Mid-Atlantic Bio is the only globally-focused, yet regionally-based, event to combine components of a bioscience industry convention with an investor conference under one roof. More than 800 national and international industry leaders, government representatives, executives, researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, and professional services firms will gather to promote networking, business expansion, and technical-knowledge sharing. Home to industry-critical regulatory and research agencies; federal policymaking; and business and scientific centers of excellence, the Mid-Atlantic is a unique center for the global bioscience industry.

Feb 2008 | Noxilizer Advantages Presented in Biomedical Materials Journal In a recently published article by C.M. Yakacki et al. in the journal Biomedical Materials Noxilizer sterilization was compared to Steam, ETO, Irradiation and the Sterrad Low Temperature Process (LTP) processes on two shape memory polymers manufactured by Medshape Solutions, Inc. for cytotoxicity and thermomechanical properties. These polymers have future applications as cardiovascular stents and orthopedic fixation devices. The results showed that the samples exposed to the LTP process had a significant cytotoxic response, unlike the Noxilizer sterilized materials which were comparable to the control unexposed samples. This finding has important implications for the future development of the next generation of medical devices. According to Yakacki, the Noxilizer sterilization process may provide a truly cold sterilization process and would be a critical enabling technology in the advancement of important medical devices that address unmet patient needs.
