Ok, I found some Niman patents.

I stand corrected re my last post.

But these still do not answer the questions of why is he at the Shriners Burn Center in Boston as a "surgery instructor"?

He is looking as though he is pushing stocks that will financially enrich him,without publicly stating his connections to them.

He is a leading "expert" voice on SARS.If,his stocks coincide with the direction of SARS meds research, shouldnt that be known?

Here goes my goofiness again!

When I search Scripps Research Institute and Niman, I get one hit out of 45,000.

And it is a post from Niman on Silicon that mentions Scripps,having nothing to do with Niman ever being at Scripps.

I'll keep googling.

I have no idea what Dr. Niman's research is about, really. I don't know a monoclonal antibody from an oncogene. I understand biology down to the cellular level, but Dr. Niman understands cell biology down to the molecular level.

I see no indication that he is working on a test for SARS or a vaccine for SARS. He seems to be interested in SARS morphology and mutations as an intellectual exercise, BWDIK?
