"Cancer-testing firm gets China deal" by Mike Musgrove

Washington Post, December 28, 2009:Another evidence of Sino-American Economics in action.

First customer for markpap: Business incubator spawned Maryland start-up:

In a pilot program lasting five years, MarkPap will annually provide rural provinces in China with enough kits to conduct 1 million tests, which the firm says work similarly to Pap tests. The deal, made with a Chinese distributor with a presence in 6 of China's 22 provinces, is worth $13.5 million to the local firm.

Telemedicine is what makes this attractive said Markovidc who left a career at the NIH as a researcher to launch the firm with her husband. For details, please contact: musgrovem@washpost.com Mike is the writer of such feature article.

Perhaps "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" available free at www.rand.org would be useful re such firm doing cancer research in China for communication in Pin Yin system of romanization as phonetic equivalents for understanding.
