BioMarCare Technologies Ltd. Receives a $900k Grant for a Joint Project with Ariadne Inc.
Date:8/2/2011

NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hadasit Bio-Holdings, Ltd. - (OTCBB: HADSY), a publicly traded portfolio of biotech companies, all based on intellectual property developed and owned by Hadassah University Hospital, Israel's foremost medical research center, and its subsidiary, BioMarCare Technologies Ltd. ("BioMarCare") announced that the prestigious Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation has given initial approval for a $900,000 grant for a joint project for BioMarCare and Ariadne Inc. to develop a diagnostic colorectal cancer test.

BioMarCare and Ariadne Inc. will jointly develop a diagnostic test, based on a panel of protein biomarkers, to direct the personal care of patients with metastatic stage colorectal cancer. Current treatments for metastatic colorectal cancer are ineffective for a significant percentage of patients treated and the new test would enable physicians to detect the non-responders prior to treatment.  This would allow for a more effective course of treatment to be administered at an earlier stage of the disease, which is in line with the current medical trend towards more efficient personalized medicine.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignant disease worldwide, with more than one million new cases discovered annually and more than 30% diagnosed with metastatic stage cancer.

In addition to this important project, BioMarCare is also in the processes of developing diagnostic tools for colon cancer and breast cancer that are based on a simple blood test. These tests utilize proprietary biomarkers, licensed from the Hadassah Medical Organization's technology transfer company- Hadasit, and have shown high sensitivity even at early stages of the disease.

The BIRD grant is one of 9 grants approved for Israeli American collaborations in 2011, and is granted to Israeli and American collaborations in various fields, not only medical. The grant will be matched by company fun
