Dynasil Corp. of America
Dynasil Corp. of America, based in Watertown, Mass., has
incorporated a business unit, Dynasil Biomedical Corp., in Rochester, Minn.,
to pursue opportunities in the field. Daniel Ericson has joined the new unit as
its scientific leader with responsibility for research and development. The unit
purchased for $300,000 Ericson’s rights to six biomedical technologies invented
or co-invented by him, as well as certain rights to royalties and milestone payments
if the technologies are successfully developed. Several of the technologies are
jointly owned with the Mayo Clinic, where Ericson previously worked. All in the
early stage of development, the inventions include a tuberculosis test, a tissue
sealant and diagnostic tests using handheld optical detection systems. The unit
will collaborate with Dynasil’s RMD Research organization and its RMD Instruments
business.
