Northern Michigan University Research With MIT 1000 Garners Award
SAN CLEMENTE, CA--(Marketwired - April 29, 2016) - Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. ("MIT") (OTCQB: MMTC) -- The 2016 Celebration of Student Research competition at Northern Michigan University ("NMU") resulted in a first place Group Poster Award for research consequential to the collaborative effort between MIT and the NMU Department of Biology (see: http://www.nmu.edu/studentcelebration/2016-celebration-and-technology-photos#overlay-context=). Dr. Josh S. Sharp, assistant professor at NMU, his department, and his students have been spearheading a research program to develop clinical applications and methods for rapid identification of pathogens, particularly Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA,) using the company's MIT 1000 pathogen detection and identification system. Dr. Sharp and his students, along with Dr. Amit Morey of Auburn University, and Dr. David Haavig of MIT, developed a new sample preparation method that eliminates long culture plate growth periods and significantly reduces the pathogen detection and confirmation time to 6 hours or less, after the sample was taken from the patient, food sample or other initial target.
