Westbury Diagnostics, Inc is proud to announce that Dr. Lorrence H. Green will be the Director of the Business Segment of the 2010 Fundamentals of the Bioscience Industry Program. The program is run in conjunction with at the Stony Brook University Center for Biotechnology and is targeted toward students at the graduate level seeking to move into non-academic industry careers. Also targeted are life science professionals seeking to enhance their productivity and opportunity for success in the corporate environment.

In addition to presenting a series of lectures in the Business of Bioscience Module, this year Dr. Green will also be coordinating the business segment of the program. His entertaining lecture based on real life experiences entitled, “Observations of an Entrepreneur” has been updated this year to include an “eleventh” career observation. Some of the lectures will also include guest speakers, such as John Hill, President of John A. Hill and Associates, and author of the book, “Tips and Tales from the Booth”.

Enrollment in the course will be open until the end of 2009, although at this time only a limited number of seats are still available. More information can be obtained at the Stony Brook University, Fundamentals of the Bioscience Program website.

Dr. Green found a very receptive audience as he used a figure from the game of Operation to describe various parts of the anatomy that are required in the successful entrepreneur. The audience consisted of professionals, academics, students as well as a few budding entrepreneurs. He told this group that:

“While having a head and a heart are important, they aren’t going to do anything for you unless you have the guts to put some skin into the game.”

Westbury Diagnostics, Inc announced that it has taken an equity position in Pillar Rock USA. Pillar Rock USA Corp is the manufacturer of Hangover Buster^®, an effervescent tablet designed to re-stabilize the body of the vital nutrients lost as a consequence of an evening of overindulgence. “Wake up refreshed”. The product was formulated by a team of physicians and laboratory chemists who are experts in the field.

Westbury Diagnostics started a relationship with the company approximately 1 year ago, and has been providing R&D as well as business services. Dr. Lorrence Green, President of Westbury Diagnostics, and Mr. Alfred Dilimani, President of Pillar Rock, believe that this investment will help solidify the development of both Long Island companies. Both companies anticipate working together to develop many new products based on Pillar Rock’s proprietary technology.

Dr. Green also said that this investment is part of Westbury’s long term growth strategy of making equity investments in Long Island based Bioscience companies. “There are many ways of growing a company. One of them is to identify a young company in which you think there will be future synergies and then making an equity investment. While this strategy offers smaller rewards than developing new products and new markets internally, it has a greater chance of success and is also less expensive.”

In 2004, Westbury made the first of several investments in Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. another Long Island based bioscience company, with patented technologies in the field of in vitro diagnostics.

Due to financial cutbacks from the State of New York, biology students at Farmingdale State College were informed that the college could no longer supply them with blank answer forms. These forms, used for tests that are given using the automated grading systems, were now going to have to be supplied by the students, at an added cost.

Westbury Diagnostics, Inc. has had a long relationship with the college, and decided to help. During the past several years, the company’s efforts have allowed over 100 students to attend local prominent scientific meetings, including a recent New York Academy of Sciences meeting on Swine Flu. The company has also had several Farmingdale Bioscience students as interns.

Upon hearing about the situation, Westbury donated a supply of the answer sheets for use in the Bioscience curriculum courses. Many of the students enrolled in the Bioscience Program must work to support their education, and as a Long Island bioscience company Westbury Diagnostics, Inc was happy to be able help lower the costs of their education, even if only slightly. The company looks forward to continuing with similar donations in the future.
