Nanobac & Nanotechnology:

“Nanobac is deep into landmark medical research that we believe will redefine the way we view disease and change the way physicians approach the treatment of illnesses,” said Nanobac Co-Chairman Dr. Benedict Maniscalco. “We believe utilizing the experienced professionals at The Aker Partners will not only increase the visibility of our work in the field of medical nanotechnology, but also enhance the viability of our company.”

Nanotechnology is the realm of discovering and exploiting the special characteristics of materials at the atomic scale. A nanoparticle is generally considered to be anything less than 100 nanometers, or 100 billionths of a meter. If a one-meter ruler could be stretched from New York City to Los Angeles, a nanometer on that ruler would still be only the size of an aspirin.

The specialized type of medical nanotechnology being pursued by Nanobac aims to combat disease on that “nano” scale by detecting calcifying nanoparticles that straddle the 100 nanometer size line, ranging in diameter from 75 nm to more than 500 nm. Researchers believe these CNPs are the basic cause of a multitude of illnesses.
