Imagin Announces i/Blue Product Development Program Moves to University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics

VANCOUVER, BC and BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - April 12, 2016) -  Imagin Medical (CSE: IME) (the "Company") announced today that Dr. Stavros Demos, the inventor of the i/Blue Imaging System, has accepted the position of "Senior Scientist and Group Leader of the Optical Materials Group" at the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) in New York. LLE has a world class reputation for developing successful laser and optical technologies and supporting a variety of US Government missions. Going forward, Imagin Medical will utilize LLE's resources to continue development of its ultrasensitive cancer imaging technology.

"Being able to work with such an extraordinary pool of scientists and engineers in their state-of-the-art facility focused exclusively on Imagin's field of interest is a great opportunity for us," said Jim Hutchens, Imagin President and CEO. "Their expertise and success with laser and optical technology applications will help drive our development program more rapidly and may result in additional intellectual property."

LLE was established in 1970 and has become an internationally known resource for research and education in science and technology. A pioneer in university/industry collaborations, LLE employs over 300 engineers and scientists with a recognized expertise in laser, optics and the interaction of light with matter.

Dr. Demos will lead the effort at University of Rochester and LLE to build on Imagin's initial prototype and continue to refine the product's design, requalifying the system's optical model, components and advanced light sensors, and help create the controls needed for optimized operation and patient safety. These next generation (beta) products will be used for clinical trials, regulatory submission and eventual commercial distribution.

During Imagin's first development meeting held at LLE in Rochester, NY, Dr. Demos commented, "Working at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California for twelve years was an invaluable experience while focusing on contributing to LLNL mission goals. Now, at LLE, I'm joining former colleagues and collaborators along with a world class team of scientists and Medical school and hospital that can be a great asset in the efforts to continuing the development of Imagin's i/Blue Imaging System."
