US company Dendritic NanoTechnologies, which is 33 per cent owned by former Australian pooled development fund Starpharma (ASX:SPL), has appointed Dow Chemical Company's licensing manager Mike Pirc to its board of directors. The appointment follows the transfer of Dow's portfolio of dendrimer patents to DNT in January in a deal that gave the company control of the majority of IP in the dendrimer field. Dow also holds a significant equity stake in DNT.

The first of multiple iHawk control systems has been delivered to the Australian Synchrotron Project by US company Concurrent Computer Corp. The systems, which are powered by RedHawk real-time Linux, were said to be selected for their response and high performance capabilities to respond to the synchrotron's data acquisition and I/O control (IOC) system requirements, and will form the foundation control system of the synchrotron light beam storage ring.
