Columbia biosystems picking up grants:
here's an email i got from the company:
Yesterday, we were informed by the Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO) that we were approved for a Maryland Technology Transfer Fund (MTTF) award for $75,000. This award is in addition to the Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) award for $149,000 reported earlier.
The state of Maryland has been very supportive and, via these awards, recognizes the potential of our Molecularly Imprinted Polymers technology. We have two additional proposals outstanding for substantially more funds. With additional funding, we should have our first biotech product prototype, a spray to detect MRSA on clinical surfaces, by the end of 2009.
