NACET GRADUATES ITS FIRST COMPANY

SenesTech Moves to Flagstaff Airport Business Center

The Northern Arizona Center for Emerging Technologies is pleased to announce the first graduation of a bioscience company, SenesTech, Inc. from its incubation program. NACET provides state of the art start up office and laboratory space along with technology transfer services for companies who have invented a product and have set out to transfer that technology into the commercial marketplace. Due to the forward vision of political, business and educational leaders in 2001, NACET was built to provide incubator space to these fledgling companes to help them grow to successful status thereby increasing the higher paid professional employment pool for greater Flagstaff. NACET President and CEO, Russ Yelton stated “We are very pleased for SenesTech wish them great success in the future. “

SenesTech is a privately held biotechnology company specializing in humane animal population management through environmentally neutral chemical sterilization. Its mission is to remove killing, culling of mammalian pests and the current management tool, poison from the environment.

Its initial product, ContraPestÒ, is scheduled to be in the rice fields of Southeast Asia by the end of next year. Eventually, their product has the potential to assist in feeding over 300 million more people per year. It has the potential to change the quality of life for the Southeast Asian poor.

SenesTech moved part of its operation from Northern Arizona University into the NACET incubator on McMillan Mesa in October of 2008. They started out with seven offices, three labs and 3 full time employees and 9 months later expanded to six labs, 10 offices and 16 full or part time employees utilizing 3,812 sq ft of actual office/lab space. SenesTech will be moving to its new location at the Flagstaff Airport Business Center at the beginning of November 2009 doubling the size of their operations.

Everett Hale, CEO of SenesTech stated, “The Northern Arizona Center for Emerging Technologies was instrumental in helping us achieve our success. The support and state of the art facilities at NACET were without question a huge boost to our ability to achieve such great corporate growth. We hope that other companies take our lead and avail themselves of the support, vision and leadership at NACET.”
