DESCRIPTION:The Innovation Enterprise 2010 Conference\, to be held in Macon
  GA in November will bring together inventors\, prototype makers\, manufac
 turers and the military to find solutions for the military and commercial 
 markets. The organizer of the conference\, the National Nanotechnology Man
 ufacturing Center (NNMC)\, has a government OTA contract to find and devel
 op high-tech solutions for the military. Working under the NNMC&rsquo\;s O
 TA contract eliminates most of the management normally associated with gov
 ernment contracts.<br /> The focus of the conference is on nanotechnology-
 related and other high-tech solutions.&nbsp\;The NNMC works with both the 
 government and the private sector to significantly reduce the paperwork an
 d time normally associated with developing solutions for the military.&nbs
 p\;This entire program\, along with current case studies\, will be present
 ed during the conference.  The Conference is all about making contacts tha
 t lead to contracts. Senior Executives from the Army&rsquo\;s ARDEC (Armam
 ent Research Development Engineering&nbsp\;Center) personnel will be at th
 e conference to assess inventions for application in the military.  The In
 novation Enterprise 2010 Conference will be held at the Macon Marriott Cit
 y Center from November 15 &ndash\; 17\, 2010. Special discount hotel accom
 modation is available for all attendees.<br /> For more information\, plea
 se visit the conference website at <a href='http://www.InnovationEnterpris

 991 ext 302Nanotools companies are among the emerging key players in the n
 anobio ecosystem. COIN has invited several to come to show and tell about 
 their platforms as well as to talk in a panel format about their companies
 \, technologies\, and products and to discuss their perspectives on growth
  opportunities in the nanobio field.Presentations from senior representati
 ves of each of the following tool companies will be followed by the panel 
 session moderated by Miles Wright\, CEO of Xanofi\, a Raleigh NC-based sta
 rtup launching a nanofibers production and equipment business.<b>NanoInk</
 b><a href='http://www.nanoink.net/'>NanoInk\, Inc.</a>&nbsp\;is an emergin
 g growth technology company specializing in nanometer-scale manufacturing 
 and applications development for the life sciences\, engineering\, pharmac
 eutical\, and education industries. Using Dip Pen Nanolithography&reg\; (D
 PN&reg\;)\, a patented and proprietary nanofabrication technology\, scient
 ists are enabled to rapidly and easily create micro-and nanoscale structur
 es from a variety of materials on a range of substrates. This low cost\, e
 asy to use and scalable technique brings sophisticated nanofabrication to 
 the laboratory desktop.<b>NanoSight</b><a href='http://www.nanosight.com/'
 >NanoSight's</a>&nbsp\;Technology: This is not Light Scattering\, this is 
 NanoSight. This is neither Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) nor Photon Corre
 lation Spectroscopy (PCS)\, it is Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA). In
  common they have laser light\, Brownian motion and Stokes Einstein. Light
  Scattering (DLS or PCS) assesses the time-based corruption of coherent li
 ght to produce an average particle size\, necessarily biased to the larger
  particles. In contrast\, NanoSight simultaneously measures the speed of m
 any observed particles and compiles these particle-by-particle into a much
  higher resolution particle size distribution than DLS/PCS\, so much bette
 r reflecting the complexity of real-world samples<b>Izon Science</b><a hre
 f='http://www.izon.com/'>Izon</a>&nbsp\;is a nanotechnology company which 
 has developed instrumentation for nanoscale particle analysis. The instrum
 ent systems\, the qNano and qViro\, are now in use in a wide range of rese
 arch institutes and universities around the world. The basis of Izon&rsquo
 \;s instrumentation is a unique\, dynamically tunable nanopore technology 
 platform which utilizes a technology called SIOS (Scanning Ion Occlusion S
 ensing). This technology platform is world-leading in offering an affordab
 le\, robust and highly flexible technology for real-time particle detectio
 n\, quantitation and characterization of individual particles at the nanos
 cale\, across a wide range of applications. These applications include siz
 ing\, size distribution measurement\, concentration analysis and real-time
  particle-particle interaction monitoring.<b>Xanofi</b><a href='http://www
 .xanofi.com/'>Xanofi</a>&nbsp\;has seven years of laboratory development. 
 One year of business development in the Technology Entrepreneurship and Co
 mmercialization program at NCSU. An efficient new platform technology in a
  hot industry. A great team moving forward. It's easy to see why there is 
 excitement and buzz around Xanofi. Over the past five years\, the producti
 on of nanofibers (any fiber with a diameter smaller than 1\,000 nm) has gr
 own into a $100 million per year industry\, and projections indicate this 
 trend will only accelerate. In the very near future\, nanofibers will impa
 ct the lives of most Americans. They will be found in the tires on our car
 s\, our sporting goods\, our cosmetics\, our medicines\, our air filters\,
  our autos\, our electronics. Nanotechnology has rightly garnered tremendo
 us attention because it will make products - and the world - better. At Xa
 nofi\, we believe XanoShear&trade\; will join electrospinning and meltblow
 n as a viable commercial process for producing nanofibers. Our business mo
 del is simple - let's work together to develop the right fiber for your ap
 plication(s) and we'll become a reliable partner.Who Should Attend?Busines

DESCRIPTION:<b>Why Attend?</b><br /><b>Informex brings together&nbsp\;</b>s
 erious buyers and sellers of chemicals\, biologics\, chemical technologies
  and related services. It is the global meeting place to efficiently showc
 ase\, as well as learn about\, the capabilities of high-value\, high-quali
 ty fine\, specialty and custom chemical manufacturers\, from pilot to comm
 ercial scale.No Matter What Your Industry\, You&rsquo\;ll Find the Next Bi
 g Idea at Informex.<br />From its very inception\, exhibitors at Informex 
 have represented a broad cross-section of the chemical industry and sell t
 heir capabilities into a diverse range of markets.<br />Our 500+ exhibitor
 s vary widely in the types of chemistry they practice and the types of syn
 theses they perform\, but they have one thing in common&nbsp\;-&nbsp\;the 
 ability to use cutting-edge\, high-tech chemistry to meet the emerging nee
 ds of the commercial manufacturing environment. And 87% of our 2010 attend
 ees found exactly what they were looking for.&nbsp\;<b>Connecting. Collabo
 rating. Commercializing.</b><br />New product development is increasingly 
 a collaboration between suppliers and manufacturers. A major goal of the s
 how is to match exhibiting companies with a highly qualified attending aud
 ience and to create an atmosphere to foster networking and dialogue.<br />
 Networking tools range from &lsquo\;high-touch&rsquo\; events like catered
  breakfasts\, luncheons\, receptions\, and showcase presentations\,&nbsp\;
 to year-round conversations on key social medial platforms and through the
  Informex blog. The net effect is to maximize the use of time and increase
  opportunities for those who attend the exhibition.<br />With constant glo
 bal pressure on innovation\, productivity and efficiency\, it makes sense 
 for industries to look to create opportunities by leveraging assets and en
 ergizing the commercialization process. New visitors will discover what ma
 ny have known for over 26 years- that Informex is the single best place in
  the world to find cutting-edge chemistry that will work for their busines
 ses.

DESCRIPTION:On February 7-8\, 2011\, join leading thinkers\, practitioners\
 , and decision makers for a summit on healthcare innovations in North Caro
 lina. We will highlight the state&rsquo\;s most promising ideas\, many of 
 which are now hidden behind the walls of their creative institutions or co
 mmunities. &nbsp\;And we&rsquo\;ll ask for your ideas as you work alongsid
 e over 1\,300 attendees to match innovations with the people and places wh
 o want them.  This year\, we&rsquo\;re asking you to help design the Forum
  in part &mdash\; based on what&nbsp\;<i>you</i>&nbsp\;want.  First\, we&r
 squo\;ll kick off the Forum by asking to what you want your healthcare to 
 be. Do you want your health records stored electronically\, at your finger
 tips? Do you want to be able to call a 1-800 number and have your health c
 oncerns addressed by a nurse &mdash\; any time of day? Or do you simply wa
 nt shorter wait times when you do go to your doctor? We&rsquo\;ll use your
  preference as a guide for moving forward\, and setting the target for wha
 t we want North Carolina&rsquo\;s healthcare system to be.  Then\, we&rsqu
 o\;ll take a look at the innovations we need to get us there. For the past
  few months\, we have been collecting your nominations for existing health
 care innovations to be featured at the 2011 Emerging Issues Forum.&nbsp\; 
 The response has been outstanding\, demonstrating that there is creative a
 ction in healthcare &nbsp\;taking place all across our state.&nbsp\;&nbsp\
 ;Next month\, we will ask you to vote for the innovations you want to see 
 featured at the Forum on February 7-8.  Bring your ideas. Learn from other
 s. Be inspired.&nbsp\;<i>Act</i>.  How much does the Forum cost to attend?

 Frontiers in Therapeutic and Diagnostic Delivery  Thursday 12-1\, Pizza an
 d Drinks provided<br />@ Health Science Education Center<br />(Pharmaceuti
 cal Science Building basement)  In 1965\, Gordon Moore\, co-founder of Int
 el\, described the trend that the number of components in integrated circu
 its&nbsp\;had doubled every year since 1958.&nbsp\; This trend has continu
 ed to today\, enabled by advances in photolithography&nbsp\;which has take
 n the minimum feature size of transistors down from about 10 microns in 19
 70 to 0.045 microns (45&nbsp\;nm) today.&nbsp\; In biological terms\, this
  corresponds to going from the size of a red blood cell to the size of a s
 ingle virus&nbsp\;particle!&nbsp\; As such\, this top-down nano-fabricatio
 n technology from the semiconductor industry is\, for the first time\, in&
 nbsp\;the size range to be relevant for the design of medicines and vaccin
 es. This lecture will describe the design\,&nbsp\;synthesis and efficacy o
 f organic nano- and micro-particles using a top-down nano-fabrication tech
 nique we&nbsp\;developed called PRINT (Particle Replication in Non-wetting
  Templates).&nbsp\; PRINT is a continuous\, roll-to-roll\, high&nbsp\;reso
 lution molding technique that allows the fabrication of precisely defined 
 micro- and nano-particles in a continuous&nbsp\;manner with control over c
 hemical composition\, size\, shape\, deformability and surface chemistry.&
 nbsp\;&nbsp\;  &nbsp\;In this lecture we will discuss the development of t
 argeted methods for the delivery of chemotherapies and siRNAs&nbsp\;utiliz
 ing the top-down\, particle fabrication technology called PRINT. Delivery 
 of cancer therapeutics using&nbsp\;nanoparticle drug delivery vehicles has
  the advantage of preferential drug delivery to tumors\, leading to improv
 ed&nbsp\;efficacy\, lower toxicity and higher patient compliance. Existing
  nanoparticle therapeutics have demonstrated lowered&nbsp\;side effects wh
 en compared to their small molecule counterparts. The next generation of n
 anoparticle therapeutics&nbsp\;has the potential to improve the efficacy a
 nd further lower the toxicity of treatment.&nbsp\; However\, many challeng
 es&nbsp\;remain for nanoparticle-based drug delivery\, including the abili
 ty to overcome numerous biological barriers that&nbsp\;impede efficacious 
 delivery of cargos upon systemic administration.&nbsp\; PRINT offers an un
 precedented opportunity to&nbsp\;study the challenges associated with nano
 particle delivery and\, more importantly\, offers a versatile platform to&
 nbsp\;engineer solutions to these problems. We are exploiting the advantag
 es of PRINT to generate &ldquo\;calibration quality&rdquo\;&nbsp\;nano-too
 ls to define the geometric (size\, shape)\, surface (zeta potential\, stea
 lthing ligands) and deformability&nbsp\;limitations associated with the de
 livery of drugs using different dosage forms (IV and IP). In addition\, we
  are utilizing&nbsp\;PRINT particles as a platform to test biomimetic stra
 tegies for the evasion of clearance by the mononuclear&nbsp\;phagocytic sy
 stem &#40\;MPS&#41\;. Finally\, we are using the versatility of PRINT to a
 ddress the role of particle characteristics&nbsp\;on site specific targeti
 ng and controlled release of drugs at the site of action (tumor sites) to 
 improve the therapeutic&nbsp\;index.  Joseph DeSimone is the Chancellor&rs
 quo\;s Eminent Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina 
 at Chapel&nbsp\;Hill and William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Chemical Engine
 ering at North Carolina State University.&nbsp\; DeSimone is&nbsp\;also an
  Adjunct Member of the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research at Me
 morial Sloan-Kettering Cancer&nbsp\;Center in New York.&nbsp\; DeSimone ha
 s published over 270 scientific articles and has over 115 issued patents i
 n his&nbsp\;name with over 120 patents pending. In 2005 DeSimone was elect
 ed into the National Academy of Engineering and&nbsp\;the American Academy

 nd Biotechnology Career Opportunities in North Carolina&rdquo\;<br /></i><
 br /> Enka Campus of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College <br />
 <br />Western North Carolina hails great universities and research. But ac
 cording to discussions with the NC Biotechnology Center a few years ago\, 
 there was a need for increased interaction and collaboration between resea
 rchers in the regional colleges and universities. <br /><br /> To address 
 this gap\, &ldquo\;Science in the Mountains&rdquo\; was born in 2006.  Sci
 ence in the Mountains brings together the region&rsquo\;s student and facu
 lty researchers to share their research and explore opportunities for coll
 aborations. Leaders and experts from industry and governmental agencies al
 so participate in the conference\, to share their expertise and to promote
  a culture of intellectual property creation\, protection and commercializ
 ation. <br /><br /> These interactions serve to enhance the growth of high
  quality research in the region that is more competitive for federal and s
 tate funding\, and more engaged in regional economic development.  The eve
 nt includes: <br /> &lt\;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt\;&middot\; Platform pr
 esentations on research and entrepreneurism. <br /> &lt\;!--[if !supportLi

 Western North Carolina and we look forward to your support in helping us m
 ake it a success. For more information\, refer to links below or contact K

DESCRIPTION:<i><b>Have you ever wondered how Burt&rsquo\;s Bees built such 
 a successful brand?</b></i><b><br />&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</b
 ><b><br /></b>Like a classic American story\, Burt&rsquo\;s Bees started s
 mall and grew into a world-class\, beloved consumer brand.&nbsp\;<br />It 
 all began in 1984 when Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby started selling hon
 ey and beeswax candles in Maine. Business picked up with the candles\, but
  really took off when Roxanne began to recreate all natural cosmetic produ
 cts from recipes that had been around since the 19th century. Since she ha
 d always been concerned with the environment\, the use of honey\, and othe
 r natural ingredients to make safe and pure products came as a natural tra
 nsition.<b><br /><br /></b>By 1993\, the ever expanding line of products t
 hat had once been produced on a gas stove was moved to a larger facility i
 n North Carolina\, with larger equipment and more staff. By 1999\, Burt&rs
 quo\;s Bees products were being sold at retail stores across the country a
 nd worldwide. Bath and body items had been added to the list of products\,
  as well as toothpaste\, and a baby care line.&nbsp\;<b><br /><br /></b>In
  the midst of this type of rapid expansion\, how do you maintain brand con
 sistency and keep customers engaged? Who better to answer this question th
 an Paula Alexander\, Director of Global Insights at Burt&rsquo\;s Bees.<b>
 &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<br /><br />Event Topic for April</b><br /><b>
 Brand Building in the Relationship Era</b><br />One of the most valuable a
 ssets of a company and yet one of the most difficult to establish and buil
 d is the Brand. It's not just a logo\, a product or a positioning. It's a 
 promise. In this period known as the Relationship Era\, a brand starts wit
 h intimately knowing your customer and then letting go of control so your 
 customer can help you build it. Clearly\, Burt&rsquo\;s Bees has been succ
 essful in establishing its brand and creating a passionate consumer follow
 ing. At this event\, Paula will reflect on her experiences with Burt&rsquo
 \;s Bees\, as well as share some other examples\, tools and frameworks for
  building a great brand.<b><br /><br />Guest Speaker<br />Paula Alexander

 ension code: 704<br /><br />As the incorporation of nanomaterials in the l
 ife science industries becomes more prevalent\, the need to understand the
  mechanisms behind their properties becomes paramount. A critical element 
 of Quality by Design (QbD) is to identify Critical Quality Attributes (CQA
 s) associated with performance. Due to the challenges in analyzing these i
 nnovative materials\, CQAs are often difficult to pinpoint. Through the us
 e of case studies\, this informative seminar will provide insights and les
 sons learned from numerous nanomaterials characterization projects where s
 ample properties were evaluated to better understand their mechanisms. The
 se lessons address a broad spectrum of topics ranging from sample collecti
 on and analysis to the rapidly evolving U.S. EPA and FDA regulatory landsc
 ape.Four case studies will be shared and will serve to highlight the lesso
 ns learned in various applications of nanotechnology. Quantum dot analysis
  will highlight the many facets that need to be considered when dealing wi
 th nanomaterial characterization\, including sample preparation and charac
 terization techniques. Critical issues surrounding quality assurance in na
 nomaterial manufacturing will be illustrated using gold and silver nanopar
 ticle examples. <br /><br />Evaluation of a point-of-care (POC) diagnostic
  biosensor will highlight potential impact of analysis on product design a
 nd will allow for discussion of modeling and simulations. Lastly\, example
 s of carbon nanotube evaluation will serve to demonstrate the utility of i
 nterdisciplinary analysis as well as highlight the regulatory issues encou
 ntered with the use of nanomaterials. Through these shared experiences\, a
  comprehensive picture will emerge of what is entailed in resolving the an
 alytical challenges when integrating nanotechnology into the life sciences
 .Take Home BenefitsAttendees will be exposed to four case studies and disc
 over the lessons learned in each experience. <br /><br />Through these les
 sons\, they will realize a greater understanding of the challenges facing 
 those utilizing nanotechnology in their products.Who Should AttendStaff fr

 n the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry with A PurposeTodd Blonshine\,
  CEO Mustard Tree InstrumentsJoin Todd Blonshine\, CEO of RTP-based Mustar
 d Tree Instruments in learning how his growing\, two-year-old company is t
 aking the complex science of Raman spectroscopy and applying it to solve a
  major problem in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.News outlets a
 re full of stories of hospitals short on drug supplies\, due to the inabil
 ity of pharmaceutical manufacturers to keep up with demand. Quality contro
 l issues specific to raw materials coming in from overseas are leading to 
 more and more delays in production and a record number of product recalls.
 Mustard Tree Instruments is closing the gap in testing tools needed to acc
 elerate the QC process with fewer recalls. Rapid testing with MTI instrume
 ntation takes the guess work out of quality control and provides customers
  with tools to assure fact-based decision making versus producing at risk.
 Blonshine will take attendees through his company&rsquo\;s genesis from a 
 driven startup to a leader in the analytical instrumentation industry and 
 show how reapplying existing technology with a purpose can benefit the pha
 rmaceutical industry and the public at large.
