MEDISCIENCE TECHNOLOGY CORP. RETAINS INVESTMENT BANKING FIRM EMPIRE FINANCIAL GROUP TO LEAD FINANCING STRATEGIES TO FUND GROWTH INITIATIVES

Mediscience Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: MDSC) announced that it has retained investment banking firm Empire Financial Group as placement agent to raise $2.0 million in bridge financing through a private placement on a "best efforts" basis with investor conversion rights to participate in a prospective firm commitment IPO to be lead by Empire Financial Group that is expected to raise not less than $5 million and as much as $10 million.

David R. Smith, CEO, INFOTONICS, said, "With this bridge funding investment, Infotonics is forming a high-performance Commercialization Program Team to transfer the photonic pill technology from research to market in a timely way, including commercial prototypes and pilot production for FDA trials. Infotonics will provide incubation office and lab space in our Center for Mediscience's NEWCO to help accelerate the commercialization schedule and is assisting NEWCO with top talent for its management team."

CEO Peter Katevatis said, "We believe Empire Financial Group is well suited to our needs, they understand our technology IP, corporate relationships, and have been successful in raising capital for technologies and companies similar to Mediscience. The immediate goal of this funding will be together with INFOTONICS to create an ingestible photonic pill that would enable physicians to detect early stage cancer of the complete auto-digestive tract. We believe that such a non-invasive device would lead to reduced mortality and health care costs, and increase the number of people who could be screened for this type of cancer."

Mr. Ed Cabrera, Head of Investment Banking, Empire Financial Group said, "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Mediscience Technology Corp and INFOTONICS. We believe their patented technologies and expertise properly nurtured and matured could experience rapid acceptance and revenue growth in their respective substantial target market.

INFOTONICS CENTER TO DEVELOP PROTOYPE OPTICAL BIOPSY PILL FOR MEDISCIENCE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

Financial backing provided by New York City investment group

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y., Aug. 8 -- The Infotonics Technology Center, a New York State Center of Excellence in photonics and microsystems, and Mediscience Technology Corporation of Cherry Hill, NJ, a leader in the design, development and commercialization of products that detect cancer, today announced their intention to work together to develop and bring to market an optical biopsy pill.

As outlined in a memorandum of understanding, Infotonics will further miniaturize a current prototype of the diagnostic pill -- earlier referred to as a compact photonic explorer or "camera pill" -- and will produce a sufficient quantity to conduct market trials for FDA approval.

Last month, Mediscience announced it had secured a firm commitment offering from a New York City-based investment group that will provide between $5 million and $10 million to support the project.

The optical biopsy pill is designed to be swallowed, then to travel through a patient's digestive tract. Using ultraviolet radiation, the pill can detect abnormal tissue cells and transmit the information to an external monitor. Current commercially available "camera pills" provide images from within the digestive tract, but do not supply diagnostic information.

"Our optical biopsy pill demonstrates great promise in providing a non-invasive, preliminary means of detecting in vivo pre-cancerous and cancerous tissues in the upper digestive tract," said Peter Katevatis, Mediscience's chief executive officer.

"Our agreement with equity partner Infotonics allows us to leverage the Center's unique microsystems and photonics capabilities to provide a diagnostic pill with tremendous market potential," he said.

Infotonics' CEO David Smith said: "This project is an excellent example of the type of collaborative effort that our Center of Excellence strives for to drive economic development. Infotonics-funded research on the compact photonic explorer has been going on at seven universities -- six of them in New York State -- over the past several years."

The proof-of-concept research was led by Dr. Robert Alfano and his department at City University of New York. Other universities contributing to the research effort included SUNY Albany, SUNY Binghamton, RPI, RIT, University of Rochester, and Boston University.

Infotonics and Mediscience are hoping that development of the manufacturable prototype can begin at the Center this fall.

MEDISCIENCE TECHNOLOGY CORP. REPORTS INVESTMENT BANKING AGREEMENT FOR A "FIRM COMMITMENT PUBLIC OFFERING" FOR ITS INGESTIBLE DIAGNOSTIC PILL

CHERRY HILL, N.J. --June 13, 2006-- Mediscience Technology Corp. (OTCBB:MDSC) and a New York Investment Group executed an agreement seeking a minimum of $5 million and a maximum of $10,000, 000 on terms favorable to the company's shareholders and providing for a "firm commitment public offering" by the company's wholly owned subsidiary for its Ingestible Diagnostic Pill (the "Compact Photonic Explorer") presently under joint development with its equity partner Infotonics Research of Rochester, NY. The Underwriting Agreement and related agreements shall contain such other terms and conditions as are customarily contained in agreements of such character.

Peter Katevatis CEO states that the Mediscience/Infotonics photonic technology based Biopsy Pill (CPE) demonstrates great promise in providing a non-invasive, preliminary means of detecting in vivo pre-cancerous and cancerous tissues in the upper digestive tract with the use of diagnostic photonics molecular data as compared to other scientific technology platforms upon which pill technology is being produced; e.g. (Given Imaging--Olympus). Our agreement with equity partner Infotonics is a synergistic and strategic fit leveraging the Center's unique nano-technology capabilities and resources to provide Mediscience, present and future associates with an exceptional state of the art competitive advantage. The Mediscience/Infotonics Photonic Biopsy Pill has the potential to become a market leader in diagnostic technology, perhaps the industry standard, as a new molecular diagnostic device that physicians will embrace because it addresses real concerns of the current marketplace.

Infotonics Technology Center and Mediscience Technology Corp. (MTC) are jointly developing the "Compact Photonic Explorer" (CPE), or "pill camera," for medical applications. The initial focus of the project is developing a (CPE) that would detect cancer and monitor body functions. The (CPE) stems from a collaborative, Infotonics-funded research effort at eight universities over the past two years. The proof-of-concept research for the (CPE) was led by Dr. Robert Alfano and his team at City University of New York (CUNY), Binghamton, RPI, Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of Rochester, and Boston University.
