Nigeria Breaks New Grounds in Biotechnology By Frances Ovia, 06.18.2006
Add To Favorites Print This Article Post Comment Maritime
Nigeria has broken new grounds in biotechnology with the production of a drug which effectively controls the sickle cell anemia. The drug named NICOSAM would be officially launched on July 8 by the President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. According to the Minister of Science and Technology, Prof. Turner Isoun, the drug would also be exported to other countries of the world. According to Isoun, this would be the first time that Nigeria would be exporting a drug of such a calibre and in such a field to other nations. Apart from NICOSAM, Isoun also stated that Nigeria is also using IT to create biodiversity. He disclosed that in Odi, Rivers State, the ministry is overseeing a process whereby 10 local farmers rear grasscutters. He said he foresees a situation in the near future whereby grasscutter would be produced like fish or chicken. "We are creating biodiversity," the minister said adding that initiatives such as this would provide Nigerians with more of their food needs. Isoun, a former university teacher and editor of an international science journal, had estimated that in a matter of 15 years about half of the global economy would be based on bio-economy. According to him, by the year 2020, any nation, which ignores its biotechnology development, may live to regret it. "Nigeria is also endowed with enormous bioresources across its six main ecological zones (mangrove/swamp; rainforests; derived savannah; montane/plateau; savannah; and semi-arid). How do we use the new IT domain of Bioinformatics to drive the growth and development of modern Biotechnology in Nigeria? It is estimated that by 2020, 50 percent of the world economy will be bio-economy," he told a conference of IT professionals at the last conference of the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS). Isoun also said that the Neem Tree (known locally as Dongoyaro) is being processed for many uses by researchers in the country. It had been the view of the minister at a lecture a few years after he assumed office that "The first indication that neem was being used for medical treatment was about 4,500 years ago. All the plant parts of the Neem Tree from the apex to the root are of medical importance. Today, scientific research validates the traditional uses of Neem in both the maintenance of general health and skin care. Neem is clinically proven to be anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, analgesic and anti- inflammatory." Biotechnology is the use of biological processes or living microorganisms in industrial production. Before the assumption of office of Isoun as the Minister for Science and Technology, very little was known about Biotech in Nigeria. His tenure has witnessed the concentration of efforts in biotech research which had culminated in a number of pilot projects going on in several parts of the country. Isoun had stated, while delivering a paper on "A Science Agenda from an African Perspective" at the World Summit on Sustainable Development that "Biotechnology provides technological methods for enhancing African history and endowment for improving and sustaining bioresources, including Indigenous plants used for medicinal purposes, for food and for other products of economy and social value. Biotechnology contributes to food security through increased and food crop production (improved seeds, bio-pesticides) and food processing and storage (e.g. gamma irradiation)." Experts said that Biotechnology has great potential to address the pervasive poverty and food security problems of the developing world. The main plank for pursuing the biotech agenda for the ministry is the National Biotechnology Policy and the establishment of the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA) which the minister established with the approval of the Federal Executive Council to be responsible for achieving the mandates of the policy in the promotion, development and coordination of biotechnology activities in the country. http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=50861

DNAG (.0172) Announces Ancestry Testing Program for Dental Patients
SARASOTA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/22/06 -- DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (OTCBB: DNAG) today announced an innovative new program that will enable dentists to offer DNA testing to patients who want to explore their family heritage.
AncestrybyDNA(TM) test kits and marketing materials will be made available to participating dentists who will be able to provide DNA sampling in a hygienic environment. Once the samples have been taken with a mouth swab, the dentists will forward them to DNAPrint for analysis. Confidential test results will be sent directly to patients from DNAPrint laboratories.
"We believe the professional, safe and trusted environments of dentists' offices lend themselves perfectly to DNA sampling and test result confidence," said DNAPrint President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Gabriel. "We hope this program encourages individuals to explore their family histories through genetic testing."
An attractive pricing plan, free marketing materials and an offer of additional and more comprehensive DNAPrint genealogy tests are additional features of the program.
Mr. Gabriel said that those who choose to have their DNA sampled can be assured that the results are secure and confidential. In a recent interview on National Public Radio's News & Notes, Mr. Gabriel noted DNAPrint Genomics' well-established position concerning privacy for those taking DNA tests to determine their ancestry. "We protect information (we get) from individuals and don't use it in any other way," he said. "If (our customers) want it destroyed, we destroy it. It's not ours or anyone else's. We believe this very strongly."
DNAPrint applies its proprietary DNA technology in three business segments. Its pharmacogenomics subsidiary develops test/drug combinations ("theranostics"), which are designed to increase drug efficacy and reduce side effects. DNAPrint's forensics subsidiary applies its DNAWitness(TM) technology for law enforcement agencies and criminal investigations, and the Company's genealogy subsidiary markets its AncestrybyDNA family of products to help people explore their family heritage.

Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation (Pink Sheets:PGPM), an independent oil and gas company, announced today the commencement of a program to re-enter and rework 23 wells previously shut in on its Meldon White property, located in Archer County, Texas.

The company hopes to reestablish production at the rate of 5 wells per month and anticipates production of 4 to 7 barrels of oil per day from each well. This would add at least 250 barrels per day when the project is completed, or 7500 barrels per month. However this figure will not include new wells to be drilled in the same area.

About iVoice, Inc:
iVoice has determined that the best way to create shareholder value, separate and apart from the operating performance of iVoice, is to implement new business opportunities by distributing shares of spin-offs to the company's shareholders. The common stock distributions are part of a broader strategy relating to the transition of iVoice into a company focused on the development and licensing of proprietary technologies. We also continue to search for potential merger candidates with or without compatible technology and products, which management feels may make financing more appealing to potential investors.
