WaferGen Biosystems has signed a research collaboration agreement with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center for its SmartChip  Real-Time PCR System.

Under the terms of the collaboration, UT Southwestern will conduct novel  research projects using the system in order to identify and validate  gene expression biomarkers related to wound healing. Additionally,  researchers will aim to examine the impact the identified biomarkers  have on patients' response to treatment.

"The establishment of this exciting research collaboration is an  important milestone for WaferGen as it serves as a powerful validation  for our SmartChip Real-Time PCR System and the value it offers to the  research community," stated chief executive Alnoor Shivji.
