CBMX up 25% in premark on their news they are doing work on bird flu

CombiMatrix group has made commercially available the first
microarray designed for the H5N1 "Bird Flu" influenza A virus.
The World Health Organization (WHO) appealed Tuesday, Jan. 27th
for technical assistance and expert advice to help stop the threat to
humans and agriculture posed by this virus. CombiMatrix utilized its
proprietary probe-design software and ability to rapidly synthesize
novel DNA microarrays to respond within two days.
CombiMatrix's microarray allows for the identification of the H5N1
virus, and importantly, also allows the tracking of mutations that can
occur in its genetic makeup as it goes through patterns of bird and
human infection.
Bird Flu is a member of the influenza A virus family, the same
family responsible for the 1918 influenza pandemic, which killed 20-40
million people. According to Dr. Amit Kumar, President and CEO of
CombiMatrix, "Mutations in the genetic makeup of this family of
influenza viruses have in the past greatly affected infectiousness and
lethality of individual strains. Our microarray, with its ability to
help track such mutations, may be of assistance in dealing with this
virus and its impact upon public health. Similar to our efforts with
the SARS virus, this new array demonstrates our ability to rapidly
respond to emerging diseases."
