Remember Zengen has a Lic. agreement with PRB Pharmaceuticals who is working with Lee's Pharmaceuticals. Also Dragon Venture Inc. is working close with Zengen.

WOODLAND HILLS, CALIF (October 10, 2002) — Zengen, Inc. announced today a strategic alliance with DragonVenture, Inc., a Silicon Valley based, cross-Pacific venture capital and consulting firm. DragonVenture will provide Zengen with services related to the Company’s international expansion into the Greater Chinese pharmaceutical and over-the-counter markets.
"This alliance further supports our overall corporate strategy to leverage our proprietary peptide technologies in the global healthcare arena," said R. Steven Davidson, Ph.D., president and CEO of Zengen. "Given their expertise and proven track record in the Asian marketplace, we believe that working with a premier organization like DragonVenture will help us successfully penetrate the world’s largest healthcare market and establish Zengen as a global biopharmaceutical player."
Under the terms of their agreement, DragonVenture will facilitate strategic alliances between Zengen and well-established healthcare businesses in Greater China. Zengen’s move builds on the Company’s recent research and development collaborations with companies including Abiogen Pharma S.p.A. in Italy and Lee’s Pharmaceutical Holdings, Ltd. headquartered in Hong Kong.
The Chairman and Co-Founder of DragonVenture is K. Bobby Chao, who happens to be a Director of Zengen. I think that one way in which Zengen/Lees might possibly figure in DNAP’s future is as a marketing and distribution mechanism for Greater China.
angelfund, the presentation on July 31 is "New tests for genomics-based physical profiling : case study" rather than presenting the published paper. My guess is that Tony will provide background on the science behind this and then go over the Louisiana case. He might provide details about some of the additional tests, i.e. eye and hair color. It would be very nice if he announced progress on tests for e.g. height, weight and facial characteristics. Of course, we do not know what other announcements, if any, before or at this meeting might have a bearing on his presentation...
