The 7,400 square foot digital billboard will feature a picture of Biomoda's patented porphyin molecule binding to a cancerous cell and glowing red under a florescent light, allowing a clinician to detect the cancer at a very early stage when it is still treatable.
Times Square, called The Crossroads of the World, in Midtown Manhattan is a vibrant shopping, restaurant and theatre district, famous for its annual New Year's Eve ball drop, where more than a million revelers crowd the area for the ball lowering. Its famous news ticker was first used in 1928 to announce Presidential election results, and it has announced the world's news ever since including the end of World War II, the assassination of President Kennedy, and man's landing on the moon.
"This is one of the most highly trafficked public places in the world and to use it to tell the Biomoda efforts to reduce the horrific toll cancer has on our society will have a dramatic impact," said John Cousins, President.
