Suite101 Update:

I just realized-- these are almost all old messages. Is everyone waiting for the suite101 to be fixed?

Well, I'm enjoying the long holiday! I had my house full of family yesterday for a BBQ to celebrate the 4th.

Meanwhile, up in Canada, they are working on the problem. I suggeted the "Server Gods" are not happy and all staff should work naked.

This is the status report from Vancouver:

Hi All;

Just to keep you advised of the situation regarding the site outage... We have had an IBM service technician in this evening to try to fix the server but his replacement of a dead Power Supply did not solve the problem. We now have to wait until tomorrow ( Monday)afternoon for him to return with additional parts to see if that will fix it. We will keep you posted as we progress. In the meantime, please keep your networking going to advise who you can of the current status.
Thank for understanding
Doug

NanoViricides Inc. Appoints Renowned Ophthalmologist Dr. Kazuo Tsubota to Scientific Advisory Board



BUSINESS WIRE
Posted: 2008-07-28 07:08:36

WEST HAVEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)----NanoViricides, Inc. (OTC BB: NNVC.OB) (the "Company"), said that the internationally renowned Japanese ophthalmologist and corneal researcher, Kazuo Tsubota, MD, PhD, has agreed to join the Company's Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Tsubota is currently Professor and Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at Keio University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan.

"I have already had licensing discussions with Japanese pharmaceutical companies regarding EkcCide(TM)," said Dr. Tsubota, adding, "There has been significant interest in Japan in the excellent animal study results from the Institute in New York."

"Dr. Tsubota will be helping us prepare the Company's nanoviricides drug candidates to enter the regulatory approval process in Japan. Initially, he will focus on viral eye diseases such as EKC and Herpes virus infection, among others," said Eugene Seymour, MD, MPH, CEO of the Company.

There are a number of different viruses that cause both viral conjunctivitis and keratitis (inflammation of the cornea). Adenovirus is a common cause of the very severe and potentially debilitating EKC. Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) is another important infection of the eye. HSV-I infection is frequently recurrent and can lead to corneal scarring which may necessitate corneal transplantation.

The Company has previously reported that EkcCide was shown to cause rapid and clear clinical recovery of infected animal eyes in a study conducted by a renowned US ophthalmologic Institute. The infection in this study was caused by adenovirus 5, supplied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Representative photographs are posted on the Company's website (www.nanoviricides.com).

EkcCide is the Company's nanoviricide(TM) drug candidate designed against the adenovirus that causes epidemic-kerato-conjunctivitis (EKC). The Company anticipates that the eye-drop formulation of this broad-spectrum nanoviricide drug candidate may have significant potential against other viral causes of EKC, herpes infection of the eye and the less severe viral conjunctivitis diseases as well. Common viral conjunctivitis is highly contagious and occurs primarily in schools and other crowded settings, as well as in immuno-compromised populations. While the Company currently has no approved product for the treatment of EKC and viral conjunctivitis, the treatment and prophylaxis market for EKC and other viral causes of conjunctivitis is expected to be in the order of several billion dollars annually.
