IBT and Statistics

I read on Tedco’s web site that Integrated BioTherapeutics (ok, they’re in Germantown, but I know most of the guys that work there live in Frederick and they just moved out of the incubator in the spring) won another MTTF grant for $75K

According to the press release:

Integrated BioTherapeutics, Inc., located in Germantown, Md., is working with
University of Maryland College Park to develop a multivalent vaccine against three
toxins produced by Staph bateria: SEB, SEA and TSST-1. The ultimate goal is to use the
vaccine to develop hyperimmune human antibodies in healthy individuals to be used as
therapeutics for toxic shock syndrome and to test its efficacy in hospital acquired
infections.

BioStat Solutions, led by Ronald and Ena Bromley, plans to move to downtown Mount Airy this fall. Behind them are (from left) employees Angela Prokop, Doris Westhoff, Jared Kohler, John Seibel and Karen Ellingson.

And also from the Gazette comes the news that BioStat Solutions will be moving into one of the buildings that was destroyed by fire in downtown Mt Airy.

BioStat Solutions, a statistical consulting company, will be moving to 114 Main St., becoming the largest tenant in the new building there. The move is expected in early November. The new building encompasses both a renovation of the nearby Bohn Building, which was destroyed in the downtown fire a year ago, and a previously planned project on an adjacent lot.

BioStat Solutions, whose revenues have grown 22 percent this year, offers three main services: analytical expertise in pharmacogenetics, the study of how drugs affect people based on their biological inheritance; statistical analyses for clinical studies; and custom databases for biological applications and managing clinical trial and research data.
