@Yippi
Tja, wie war doch der Spruch mit dem Teufel!?!?
Ehrlichgesagt kann ich es wirklich nicht verstehen, warum INMX nicht läuft - INMX hat ca. 65 Mio. $ in Cash und ist absolut schuldenfrei - und dann werden sie gerade mal mit ihrem Cash-Bestand bewertet - ist wirklich ´n Witz !!!
Vielleicht (hoffentlich) zahlt sich ja unsere Geduld aus!

Wenn Dich die Aktie interessiert kannst Du Dir ja folgenden Bericht mal zu Gemüte führen:


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
December 6, 2001
GOVERNOR, INDUSTRY ANNOUNCE BUFFALO CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

Buffalo Center in Bioinformatics will be Foundation for New Economy in Western NY

Governor George E. Pataki was joined today by Bill Blake, Compaq`s VP of Worldwide High Performance Technical Computing and business and academic leaders to announce up to $150 million in private sector support for a Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics in Buffalo a key component of the Governor`s $1 billion high-tech and biotech Centers of Excellence proposal.

Industry partners in the endeavor include major computing, software and communications networking companies such as Compaq, Veridian, InforMax and Stryker and others such as Dell, Sun, SGI and Q-Chem.

This agreement between the University at Buffalo, Compaq Computers and the State of New York confirms that our region continues to be ripe for new and innovative public-private partnerships that can translate into thousands of well-paying positions for our residents."

Senator Mary Lou Rath said, "This news about UB`s Center of Excellence, coupled with the Senate`s Gen*NY*sis program, will vastly strengthen the research and development capabilities of our area. It will allow Western New York to continue its charge to the front lines in creating new and beneficial technology and ideas."

Assembly Majority Leader Paul A. Tokasz said, "Today`s announcement of a private partnership with high-tech companies provides one more piece of the puzzle to establish the UB Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics. The possibilities for future job growth in Western New York, not only in the high-tech industry, but also throughout the entire economy are tremendous. This public-private partnership is part of the long-term solution for extended job growth in the Western New York area."

Assemblyman Sam Hoyt said, "The UB Center of Excellence is an excellent example of how State government can help turn Western New York`s economy around and make us a player in the global economy of the future. The project will help transform innovative ideas developed at our local colleges and universities into the good- paying jobs that will help more families to put down roots in our region."

Assemblyman Arthur Eve said, "There is no question that projects such as the UB Center of Excellence and other initiatives linked with local universities and businesses are beneficial to the regional economy of Buffalo and all of Western New York. I am gratified that the Governor and the Senate have joined the Assembly to make necessary investments in our future economy and the jobs we must have for the men and women of our communities."

Erie County Executive Joel A. Giambra said, "The Buffalo Center of Excellence will stimulate high technology research and help our region`s economy grow. Time and time again, Governor Pataki has delivered for SUNY Buffalo and I appreciate his continued dedication to strengthening Western New York`s economy."

Buffalo Mayor Anthony Masiello said, "Public and private investments in the fields of biotechnology engineering, information technology and medical research and education will spearhead a new economy for the 21st Century. Because of our location, fiber optic infrastructure and renown research and educational assets, Buffalo is poised to offer new and expanding private sector, medical technology based companies, a skilled workforce and create many good paying jobs. Governor Pataki gets it and understands the enormous economic boost this will give Buffalo and Western New York."

Mark Hamister, President of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership said, "Today`s much anticipated announcement shows that Governor Pataki and the State Legislature are clearly committed to helping shape the Buffalo-Niagara economy for the 21st century. Obtaining the Center of Excellence has been a top priority of the business community`s Buffalo-Niagara Now initiative and we thank the Governor for bringing it to fruition."

Bioinformatics is the emerging science field that uses high-performance computing to analyze biological data, and is seen as a major platform for drug discovery and modeling and other biotech research efforts in the 21st century. It has been estimated that the market for the information technology industry alone associated with the life sciences industry will exceed $40 billion by 2004, and that the bio-pharmaceutical and bio-device industries markets, projected to be huge growth areas and major beneficiaries of bioinformatics research, are anticipated to exceed $400 billion.

Bioinformatics require a unique set of skills and competencies that cross traditional scientific disciplines, including broad knowledge in the life sciences, such as genetics and molecular biology, and in computer science. Scientists in this challenging new field have to be able to take immense amounts of data from genetic and biological research and manipulate that information using high performance computers and visualization techniques, which requires intensive training. The University of Buffalo will help to meet that critical workforce need in the new Bioinformatics industry, by providing a range of degree programs in Bioinformatics, from certificate programs through the Ph.D. level, and have recently established a School of Informatics.

In addition to academic and research partners such as the University of Buffalo, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, the Center of Excellence will also involve academic collaborations with the New York State Structural Biology Consortium, Cornell, Syracuse Health Science Center, the University of Rochester and Columbia University.

Today`s announcement builds on the $15.3 million for a Strategically Targeted Academic Research Center (STAR Center) the Governor announced in May for UB focusing on Disease Modeling and Therapy Discovery, $1 million a year for the new Center for Advanced Biomedical and Bioengineering Technology announced in April and nearly $870,000 for the Western New York Technology Development Center announced in November to help local small- and medium-sized manufacturing and technology-based businesses be more successful in the new economy.
