(OTCBB:MDSC.OB) announced today: The Food and Drug Administration on March 29, 2006 approved as a "Non-significant risk device study the Company's multi-center pilot study to establish the safety and parameters of efficacy of its proprietary Optical Biopsy Device (CD-R) for cancer detection of the cervix preliminary to a pivotal study" expected to bring this molecular algorithmic specific technology to market. Dr Robert Schiff of Schiff & Company/ Regulatory Affairs advised "The FDA has notified Mediscience that the device (CD-R) is a non-significant risk device. We can therefore commence the Pilot study at any time observing the regulations governing patient consent and institutional IRB approval. The FDA has also given us comments and suggestions which will assist Mediscience in its clinical studies." Peter Katevatis Chairman/CEO: "The main objectives of this pilot study are to determine efficacy; the clinical sensitivity and clinical specificity (ability for the device to distinguish between tissues that are normal, benign, precancerous low grade, precancerous high grade, CIS and cancer) by comparing the device real-time results to the PAP test and biopsy; and assess any adverse events based on Good Clinical Practices. Frequency, type and intensity of clinical adverse events will also be evaluated. Assuming the results of this initial efficacy and safety study are satisfactory, in the detection of cervical cancer precursors i.e. (pre-cancerous cells), indications of possible cancer development the Company will continue into its pivotal study where the principal endpoint will be proof of effectiveness in a statistically significant sample of subjects." Dr. Robert Alfano (pioneer in optical biopsy, co-founder and advisor to Mediscience Technology and President of Alfanix LTD): "This FDA approval advances Mediscience to the next level towards commercialization and is a major step in advancing diagnostic medicine using fluorescence light. Alfanix plans to help Mediscience with its CD-R platform technology in the medical cancer areas and possibly expanding the market into Latin America." Mediscience Technology Corporation is engaged in the design and development of fluorescence-based optical biopsy platform system that uses the properties of light and its molecular interaction with tissue to aid in the diagnosis of physiological change and cancer. The Mediscience IP technology platform is based on imaging native fluorescence from the surface of an optically excited tissue and offers paradigm shift potential as a noninvasive, in-vivo cancer diagnostic because of the unique ability to detect/distinguish abnormalities in molecular tissue composition and/or structure. Further, the development of a Mediscience cost effective, high resolution commercial imaging system for real-time in-vivo diagnostics has the potential to vastly improve upon current standards of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. (e.g. Cervical cancer a highly preventable cancer with early detection and removal of pre-cancerous cervical lesions) About Mediscience Technology Mediscience Technology Corporation and its New York subsidiary, Medi-photonics Development Company LLC, are engaged in the design, development and commercialization of medical devices that detect cancer and physiological change using frequencies of light that are emitted, scattered and absorbed to distinguish malignant, pre-cancerous or benign tissues from normal tissues. Mediscience's exclusive protected noninvasive technology combines the advantages of real-time results with enhanced diagnostic sensitivity and specificity compared with other methods of cancer detection. www.infotonics.org/ResearchProjects/CompactPhotonicExplorers.asp Mediscience 8-K filing dated April 4, 2006 New England Journal of Medicine 7-29-04 (capsule endoscopic technology) CITIGROUP/Smith Barney Analyst Report 10-1-2004 by Peter Bye.

J.--March 7, 2006-- Mediscience Technology Corp. (OTCBB:MDSC) (Mediscience) and Alfanix Technology, Ltd. (ATL) are pleased to announce an alliance to construct sophisticated photonics devices for cancer diagnostics, such as the Cancer Diagnostic Ratiometer (CD-R); and to introduce the devices into Latin America for testing on human subjects. CD-Rs use light fluorescence to distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous tissues to obtain a more accurate in situ optical PAP test. CD-R results are immediate, whereas diagnosis via conventional PAP smears takes approximately one week. While CD-Rs are seen as a supplement for conventional PAP smears initially, they may eventually serve as a substitute. The alliance was announced jointly by Mr. Peter Katevatis Esq., Chairman and CEO of Mediscience, and Dr. Robert R. Alfano, President and CEO of ATL. The alliance will be funded by Mediscience, a public company trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "MDSC." As part of the alliance, ATL will oversee the construction for Mediscience of CD-R Beta units for use in clinical testing. At least two will be used for clinical tests in the Dominican Republic under the supervision of ATL; and at least two will be used for similar trials in the United States under the supervision of Mediscience. The objective is to obtain algorithms in order to evaluate and improve the efficacy of CD-Rs on human subjects. With a high index rate of GYN cancer among Latin America's female population, there is an urgent need for a more accurate approach to detect and diagnose the disease. The ability to diagnose cancer in real time, offers the added benefit of being able to provide life-saving treatment for cervical cancer that otherwise might not be available because of the difficulty of getting many Latin American women to return for treatment after providing them with a delayed diagnosis of malignancy based on the examination of a PAP smear. ATL is a New York State for-profit company focusing on developing, building and selling photonics-based medical and non-medical devices, Cr laser crystals, novel compact lasers, and photonics related technology. ATL's mission is to help companies develop and market photonics products; and assist with testing and marketing of these products in the United States and internationally with an emphasis on Latin America. ATL is developing a network of doctors and hospitals in Latin America, starting with the Dominican Republic, for the introduction, testing, and marketing of photonics-based medical products for detection and diagnosis of cancer of the GYN tract, breast, and skin. In return for developing and introducing a marketable product for companies under contract, ATL will receive an agreed upon royalty and/or a percentage interest in either the product-line or the company. The alliance between ATL and Mediscience includes the identification of and subsequent training of medical teams in the Dominican Republic to use the CD-R system. Medical teams will be composed of an oncologist, pathologist and medical technician. Dr. Alfano stated that, "this Agreement will enhance the development of the CD-R and other sophisticated photonics devices that have the potential to become important new cancer diagnostic tools. It will also help to bring Mediscience to the next level in marketing cancer fluorescence devices." Mr. Katevatis added, " this extraordinary Alliance contractually endows Mediscience with on-going technical resources, not available in any other single individual or un- experienced entity, to be applied to our CD-R, technology, our FDA clinicals and subsequent sequential market entry of additional Mediscience Platform applications." Dr. Alfano is the inventor of fluorescence technology and the developer of the CD-R. He noted that the Latin American and Dominican Republic connections regarding the CD-R and other Photonics products will also bring high technology and valuable training to those regions in a number of fields, including tunable lasers, laser crystals technology, and water pollution detection based on the fluorescence of bacteria. Mediscience and ATL are clients of CUNY's New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Photonics Applications. The CUNY-CAT develops and disseminates knowledge in photonics technology in order to promote New York State economic development for the medical, biological, industrial and military sectors; and provides New York State companies with research services, including infrastructure and business development.

MEDISCIENCE TECHNOLOGY CORP. DEVELOPING CANCER DETECTION INSTRUMENT FOR ANALYZING SURGICAL BREAST TISSUE SPECIMENS AT POINT-OF-CARE Mediscience Technology, Corp. (OTCBB:MDSC) announced that it is in development of an adjunctive instrument called the Cancer Detection (CD) Map, to facilitate the acquisition of fluorescence images from surgical breast specimens (ex vivo) following lumpectomies and surgical procedures. The instrument will be used to define the margins of tumors at the point-of-care, thus allowing the physician to obtain greater success in achieving clear margins in real time during cancer surgery without the use of extrinsic dyes, drugs or other invasive agents. The CD-Map is highly sensitive and can acquire images in less than one second. Zoom capability allows the CD-Map to acquire images over an area that can vary from sub-cm to several cm with a resolution better than 100 mm. "We have performed prior studies on ex vivo tissue specimens and have demonstrated that fluorescence images acquired with the CD-Map can define regions of cancer, as well as identify other structures (i.e. veins, glands) inside tissue," said Michael Engelhart President and Chief Operating Officer. "We believe the CD-Map has the potential to greatly enhance patient outcomes at point-of-care through the delivery of clear margins confirmed through a pathology report," he added. The CD-Map is a UV/visible fluorescence imaging system designed to gain image emission from native fluorophors in tissue. A tunable light source and movable filters permit the acquisition of images at multiple combinations of emission and excitation wavelengths. Intensity ratio maps are computer generated from the fluorescence images and either the intensity images or pseudo-color ratio images are displayed.

Mediscience Technology Corp., Cherry Hill Michael Engelhart, mengelhart@thmgroup.com or Peter Katevatis Esq. metpk@aol.com BREAKTHROUGH IN DETECTING CANCEROUS TISSUE VIA STOKES SHIFT EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY (Nov. 24, 2003) A research team at City College's Institute for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers (IUSL) headed by Dr. Robert R. Alfano has announced development of a new technique that is much more sensitive than conventional fluorescence Spectroscopy to detect cancerous bio-molecules and structures. Called "Stokes Shift Emission Spectroscopy," the method grows out of seminal work done at the IUSL for the past two decades. In 1984. IUSL researchers first demonstrated that light could be used to detect cancer from key molecules without removing tissue. According to Dr. Alfano, "this revolutionary breakthrough will make optical biopsy the new medical frontier for cancer diagnosis and other medical applications." The emission and absorption of organic molecules in different hosts has been investigated for over fifty years. Information on molecules in different states of matter has been obtained by measuring emission and absorption spectra. For over four decades spectroscopy has played an important role in understanding the fundamental processes that occur in biology, chemistry and solid-slate physics. Since the discoveries at the IUSL in 1984, spectroscopy has been investigated as a tool to separate cancer, benign and surrounding tissue regions. Typically, tissue is excited at a given wavelength to emit radiation at different wavelengths, which are then used to characterize the tissue. The emission wavelengths serve as "spectral fingerprints" for changes in the structure and content of various proteins in the tissue. "For organic molecules, typically, the peaks of absorption and emission occur at different wavelengths," Dr. Alfano said, "and the emission band occurs at lower energy than the excitation band." This difference between the emission and absorption peaks, known as the Stokes Shift, depends in part on the polarity of the host environment surrounding the emitting organic molecule. The new detection method developed at the IUSL combines the fluorescence and absorption spectra of molecules in tissue and is known as "Stokes Shift Emission Spectroscopy." "The excitation and emission wavelengths are scanned simultaneously with a fixed value between the excitation and emission wavelengths," according to Dr. Alfano. "This approach is much more sensitive than ordinary fluorescence spectroscopy and has delivered dramatically improved results in detecting changes in native bio-molecules. It offers great promise, therefore, in detecting cancerous, pre-cancerous and normal tissues." When comparing the effectiveness of the Stokes Shift Emission Spectroscopy (SS) method with conventional fluorescence spectroscopy it is clear that this method is a more selective and a more effective means of distinguishing cancerous from normal tissue. Dr. Alfano called this as a "giant step forward for scientists at the IUSL," who pioneered using optical spectroscopy to diagnose cancer without removing tissue. The latest advance has the potential to detect tumors involving the breast, cervix, gastrointestinal tract, head and neck, prostate, liver, brain, kidney, bladder and other organs. This work has been supported, in part, by Mediscience Technology Corp. and funds from organized research at The City University of New York. CCNY RECEIVES $6 MILLION NASA GRANT TO ENHANCE PHOTONICS RESEARCH With support from a five-year $6 million University Research Center Program grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), City College has established a Center for Optical Sensing and Imaging (COSI) designed to provide benefits in the technical, scientific and social fields. The Center’s primary goal is to develop improved sensing and imaging instruments and techniques that will contribute to NASA research and future NASA missions. It will also attract and train underrepresented minority students in related science and engineering disciplines. COSI is headed by the renowned Dr. Robert R. Alfano, Distinguished Professor of Science and Engineering at CCNY, and Dr. Sam Ahmed, Herbert G. Kayser Professor of Electrical Engineering. “The high quality research, economic and social impacts that this program will produce will be of significant value to the people of New York State and could aid in the recovery of New York City,” said Dr. Alfano, who is also heads CCNY’s Institute for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers, and directs New York State’s CUNY Center for Advanced Technology in Ultrafast Photonics and Applications. Dr. Alfano said COSI promises many tangible benefits, including increased educational opportunities for minority students; a better-trained technical workforce; discoveries that improve lives; and commercial innovations to help local businesses improve efficiency and stay competitive. The new Center will enable CCNY to expand its efforts in training and graduating minority US students in the sciences and engineering by establishing a strong research, education and outreach program to recruit, retain, mentor and train students. CCNY is an important Other Minority University (OMU) and Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) with a strong record of training and educating talented students from underrepresented ethnic groups for careers in the sciences and engineering. “The program will train a minimum of 16 graduate and 10 under-graduate students annually, and will also institute a vigorous K-12 science education program,” said Dr. Manuel Zevallos, COSI’s Administrative and Technical Coordinator. The scientific and technological objectives of COSI include development of optical techniques and instruments (for both in-situ and ground- and satellite-based remote applications) for:
The Center brings together the teams of two major existing NASA institutional programs at City College: NASA IRA (Tunable Solid State Lasers) of the Institute for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers (IUSL), and NASA PAIR (Remote Sensing and Environmental/Climat Studies) of the International Center for Environmental Resources and Development (ICERD), to form a complementary multi-disciplinary University Research Center. CCNY also is home to the New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Ultrafast Photonics and the NOAA Cooperative Center for Remote Sensing Science and Technology. Other CCNY researchers participating in the Center include Dr. Swapan Gayen, Dr. Vladimir Petricevic, Dr. Alvin Katz, Dr. Wubao Wang, Dr. Mikhail Sharonov and Dr. Shengkun Zhang (Physics); Dr. Barry Gross, Dr. Fred Moshary and Dr. Ping-Pei Ho (Electrical Engineering); Dr. Jeffrey Steiner (Earth and Atmospheric Sciences), and Dr. Reza Khanbilvardi (Civil Engineering). Dr. Charles B. Watkins, Herbert G. Kayser Professor of Mechanical Engineering, is COSI’s Educational and Outreach Coordinator. The CCNY researchers will maintain their close collaboration with NASA scientists and engineers, as well as with partners from industry such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and GER Inc. to keep the research focused on NASA and real-world needs, and to facilitate transfer of dual use technology to the marketplace. Dr. Alfano said that COSI would enjoy strong support from CCNY and the City University of New York (CUNY) and was a welcome new component to strengthen CUNY’s Photonics Initiative. MEDISCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES FORMATION OF NEW SUBSIDIARY TO DEVELOP POTENTIAL CLINICAL APPLICATION FOR NON-INVASIVELY DIAGNOSIS OF PROSTATE CANCERS. Cherry Hill, NJ (June 4, 2003) - Mediscience Technology (OTCBB - "MDSC"), a medical diagnostics device company, is pleased to announce the formation of "PROSCREEN, LLC". The Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mediscience Technology has a potential clinical application for non-invasively diagnosing prostate cancers without removing prostate tissues. Prostate cancer has a high incidence and mortality rate for men. Every year, nearly 180,000 new prostate cancer cases are diagnosed, and about 37,000 deaths annually are caused by prostate cancers in U.S. Current techniques for detection of prostate cancers have limited accuracy. The regular methods for monitoring prostate cancers are the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal examination (DRE). When the PSA level is elevated or the DRE abnormal, there is a one-in-three chance that cancer is present. This can only be confirmed by a needle biopsy of the prostate. In the biopsy, a number of cores of prostate tissue are taken with a thin needle guided into selected regions of the prostate with an ultrasound probe. Since the ultrasound imaging has poor spatial resolution and contrast, and needle biopsy is invasive, better methods are needed to develop high resolution and noninvasive techniques to detect early small prostate cancers. Michael Engelhart, President and COO of Mediscience Technology said, "The prospects for this project are very exciting and can potentially enhance prostate diagnosis and thereby create more favorable patient outcomes. We are evaluating various methods to determine the best imaging technique. After we select the best approach, we will develop a prototype spectral polarization imaging unit with an optical fiber probe for prostate cancer detection, and engage in performing clinical tests." Engelhart added, "Our initial project will include three phases. In phase 1, we will complete the evaluation of the imaging technique to select the best imaging method for the device design. In phase 2, we will design the device, purchase the parts, and build a prototype spectral polarization imaging unit with an optical fiber probe. In phase 3, we will assist in performing clinical test with a medical collaborator such as Hackensack University Medical Center and modify the unit based on the clinical results." Peter Katevatis, Chairman/CEO "The formation of "PROSCREEN, LLC" is consistent with Mediscience's overall strategy of rolling out the company's constellation model; the first of which was Photonics for Women's Oncology, LLC." We continue to build our IP and exiting product base directly from our on-going research relationship at CUNY's INSTITUTE FOR LASERS AND ULTRA-FAST SPECTROSCOPY with the dedication of its Director, Dr. Robert Alfano, and other associated medical and engineering staff.
