Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation Awarded LSDF Grant As Commercialization Partner
KENNEWICK, Wash., Dec. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation ("AMIC"
(OTCQB: ADMD), a late stage development company engaged primarily in the development of brachytherapy devices and medical isotopes for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, today announced that a Life Sciences Discovery Fund (LSDF) Proof of Concept Grant has been awarded for which AMIC is the commercialization partner. The award was made to Washington State University (WSU) for the proposal titled "Optimized Injectable Radiogels for High-dose Therapy of Non-resectable Solid Tumors," submitted by Principal Investigator Dr. Darrell Fisher, in the amount of $250,000. AMIC will receive a portion of the award by supplying product to WSU for the study as well as providing scientific and technical support. AMIC plans to use the data generated during the study to support the commercialization of the Company's brachytherapy products. Dr. Darrell Fisher serves on the AMIC Medical Advisory Board.
Brachytherapy is the use of radiation to destroy cancerous tumors by placing a radiation source inside or next to the treatment area. According to Global Industry Analysts, by 2016 the U.S. brachytherapy market will reach $2 billion.
AMIC CEO and Chairman James C. Katzaroff stated: "We are delighted to be working with one of the nation's top Veterinary schools, Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. We are appreciative to the LSDF for their recognition of the importance of the commercialization of our patented brachytherapy technologies that aim to improve lives by offering better treatment alternatives for certain cancers."
The LSDF recently announced $1.2 million in Proof of Concept grants to Washington-based organizations to foster the advancement of promising health-related technologies to commercial products. The LSDF Board of Trustees selected the awardees following review of proposals for scientific and technical merit, commercial potential, and health and economic benefits to Washington. Awards are contingent pending final Grant Agreement execution and availability of funds.
