DNAtriX, Smart Imaging get tech funds
Houston Business Journal
DNAtriX Inc. and Smart Imaging Technologies have both received pre-seed funds from the Texas Emerging Technology Fund.
Sponsored by the Houston Technology Center, both Houston companies received $250,000, but are eligible to receive up to $1 million from the fund.
DNAtriX, a biotechnology company led by Dan Watkins, is focused on developing an oncoloytic virus platform initially for the treatment of malignant glioma, a type of cancer that mostly commonly occurs in the brain.
Smart Imaging Technologies provides software for automated analysis of 2-D and 3-D images.
The Texas Emerging Technology Fund was created in 2005 by the legislature to assist in the setting up of small to mid-size technology companies and to speed up the commercialization of their inventions. The program has been renewed to fund awards through August 2009.
