Digna will be primarily responsible for the preclinical and clinical development. The three initial Digna products that have been identified for development under the agreement are P144, P17, and Methylthi- adenosine (MTA). All of these molecules have shown significant activity in preclinical studies involving multiple indications with high unmet medical need. Both companies expect that the achievement of clini- cal proof of concept data under the joint develop- ment agreement will result in significant additional value creation for the parties.
luidigm Corporation (NASDAQ: FLDM) has entered into a set of cross-licensing and sub-
licensing agreements on a range of intellectual properties with Life Technologies (NASDAQ: LIFE). Under the terms of the agreements, Fluidigm will gain broad access to patent families covering PCR re- lated technologies of Life Technologies. In addition, Life Technologies will gain broad access to a number of Fluidigm patent families related to imaging readers and other technologies.

industry, it is hoped that this concept will eventually revolutionise the consumer entertainment industry.
ForthDD, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kopin Corpo- ration, is the world’s leading supplier of high resoluti- on microdisplays for Near-To-Eye (NTE) applications. The company’s experience supplying displays for high-performance training and virtual reality head- mounted displays (HMDs) had a huge part to play in the development of the Replicating Reality™ con- cept.

E Global Research announced another major breakthrough in the development of next gene-
ration optical storage technology. GE’s research team has successfully demonstrated a micro-holographic material that can support data recording at the same speed as Blu-ray discs. This result builds upon the April 2009 demonstration of a threshold micro-holo- graphic storage material that can support 500 giga- bytes of storage capacity in a standard DVD-size disc.
Peter Lorraine, Manager of the Applied Optics Lab at GE Global Research, will discuss the bre- akthrough during a presentation today at the IEEE’s Joint International Symposium on Optical Memory & Optical Data Storage Topical Meeting (ISOM/ ODS) being held in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii. The ISOM/ ODS brings together the world’s foremost experts in optical memory and data storage technologies. GE’s breakthrough in recording speed, along with other technical improvements that have been made over the past two years has micro-holographic technology more poised than ever for commercialization.
