Date:1/24/2008

a Sciences' contract with U.S. Biotest, Quilty commented, "Dr. diZerega and Dr. Rodgers have done a terrific job up to this point with DSC127, and have a history of successful product development behind them in the area of tissue repair. Additionally, not only will the clinical development of the product continue to be managed by those who have developed the product thus far, but it also allows us to work together with the NIH grant already in place to accelerate Phase II studies."

Dr. Gere diZerega of U.S. Biotest said "We are excited to have the opportunity to continue with the development of DSC127. We have a great deal of experience with products that involve tissue repair, and believe that DSC127 presents a truly unique mechanism of action that should have significant activity in both areas of wound healing and scar reduction. Derma Sciences is aggressively focused on developing evidence-based pharmaceutical products to bring to the advanced wound care market, so we are delighted to be working with them on this project."
