Dr. Bill Hutchens -- Founder and CEO of LumiCyte and inventor of the SELDI proteomics technology. WHAT As an exhibitor at the AACR 93rd Annual Meeting, at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, Calif., LumiCyte will showcase its SELDI-based biotechnology services and announce that it has achieved an exciting new level of protein-mapping capabilities as benchmarked by today's most sophisticated technologies. LumiCyte generates high-information content protein maps with unprecedented speed, sensitivity and accuracy. Analysis of these maps with LumiCyte's proprietary suite of neural network and pattern recognition software enables: -- Early detection of disease onset -- More effective classification of disease -- More accurate monitoring of disease progression -- Early indication of patient-specific response to therapy LumiCyte's biochip products are low cost, distributable sample collection and diagnostic devices that are being used in support of clinical trials. WHEN: April 7-10, 2002 WHERE: Moscone Convention Center, Booth 714, San Francisco, Calif. INTERVIEWS: Dr. Bill Hutchens will be available on April 8-10 by appointment only. Hutchens and the team at LumiCyte pioneered the development of advanced biochips and informatics technologies to generate comprehensive human serum protein maps.
