Magnetic Detection | Chinese Stem Cell Research | Genetic Engineering
Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corporation is an advanced medical device and biotechnology company. Our revolutionary diagnostics system and test kit testing technology for HIV, Hepatitis, H-Pylori, HPV, Tuberculosis and many other viruses, bacterium's, toxins and diseases focuses on real-time testing for the actual presence of the virus/ toxin/ disease itself, and not for antibodies produced by the body's immune system which may take anywhere from weeks to months to appear. This allows for much earlier detection and treatment, as well as delivering the test at a fraction of current costs.
The company is positioning itself to perform clinical trials in Mexico, Thailand, India and China in the first/second quarter of 2009 followed by trials in the US and Europe. Biomagnetics hopes to have products in use in China by late 2009/ early 2010, followed by US and European sales sometime in 2011, pending successful financing and approvals.
Biomagnetics (OTC BMGP) intends to follow the lead of established Western drugmakers and biotechs Merck & Co. (MRK), Wyeth (WYE), Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY), Schering-Plough (SGP), Novartis (NVS), Sanofi-Aventis (SNY), Genentech (DNA), Bristol Meyers Squibb (BMYS) and many others that are ramping up investments in China, India and Singapore. The company is currently exploring opportunities within the international stem cell/ genetic engineering/ biotechnical industry, and is working to establish a separate Chinese operating company that it intends to apply for listing on the Shenzhen or Hong Kong stock exchange.
