Starpharma Holdings Limited (SPHRY.PK)

Starpharma:

A company that really has the potential and means to "change the world."

I was able to purchase 13 shares of SPHRY.PK @ 4.798 so if they do change the world I just might see the return come 5-15 years unless the world changes faster than expected.

Here's a business summary via Yahoo Finance of what Starpharma does:

"Starpharma Holdings Limited, together with its subsidiaries, develops and commercializes dendrimer nanotechnology for pharmaceutical, life science, and other applications in the United States and Australia."

Their biggest potential money maker is SPL7013 or "VivaGel":



The commercial application of the gel, understandably, is condoms.

In September of 2008, Starpharma signed a full license agreement with SSL International to develop VivaGel® coated condoms.

Should this get FDA approval, you would find it on the shelves as a Durex® condom (the market-leading condom brand worldwide).

While all this is cool, wonderful, and world saving...Starpharma has much more potential than what VivaGel® suggests.

I was first led to purchase shares in Starpharma after skimming Lynn G. Gref's The Rise and Fall of American Technology.


























In this book, Gref discusses a Dendritic Nanotechnologies Inc.















Gref writes that DNT and Central Michigan University Research Corporation developed a groundwater purification system based off one of DNT's dendritic polymers.

Gref then highlights that the groundwater purification system could one day have the potential to remove perchlorate from our water supply.

Interfering with thyroidal iodide absorption in women, perchlorate contamination ought to be considered a threat to national health and well-being.

In line with this, Gref highlights how widespread perchlorate contamination is, affecting not only multiple municipal water supplies but the water supplies of 27 DoD facilities.

After a quick Google search, I discovered Dendritic Nanotechnologies Inc. was a Starpharma Holdings Limited company and knew that I had to invest in Starpharma so I could put money towards technology and research I believe will inevitably be necessary.

It takes incredible diligence, research, and ingenuity to change the world so here's hoping to Starpharma and DNT because if you read the news you'll know the time for action is now.
