FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WaferGen Biosystems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WGBS), a leading developer of state-of-the-art genetic analysis systems, today announced that Robert Coradini has joined the WaferGen Board of Directors. Mr. Coradini was most recently the President, New Ventures of Johnson & Johnson Consumer Group of Companies (2004-2009). He joined J&J in 1996 and has served as the Chief Executive and President of various subsidiaries including: Lifescan, Cordis Endovascular, OrthoNeutrogena, Cardiovations (Ethicon), and was the head of Business Development for the Medical Devices & Diagnostics Group.

"Just as faster and more powerful computers unleashed the power of the Internet, I expect that WaferGen's Real-Time PCR technology will unleash new, undiscovered information on genomics and that the speed of processing will have a major positive impact on identifying individual treatment options for prescribers and patients."

"We are delighted that Bob has joined WaferGen's Board and I look forward to working with him as we move from the development phase to full commercialization of our Real-Time PCR System," said Alnoor Shivji, Chairman and CEO, WaferGen.
