(the &amp;#147;ETI Acquisition&amp;#148;),&#13;intangible assets related to contractual arrangements were amortized over the estimated useful life of 3 years and ended in 2010.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Intangible&#13;assets from the ETI Acquisition related to technology are expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period ending&#13;2019 and will commence upon revenue generation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company reviews intangible assets subject&#13;to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate&#13;impairment or a change in the remaining useful life of any intangible asset. Conditions that would indicate impairment and trigger&#13;an impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that&#13;could affect the value of an asset, or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds&#13;its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company writes down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its fair value&#13;in the period identified.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;For other long-lived assets, the Company evaluates&#13;quarterly whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the carrying value of these assets may be impaired.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company generally calculates fair value&#13;as the present value of estimated future cash flows it expects to generate from the asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate.&#13;If the estimate of an intangible asset&amp;#146;s remaining useful life is changed, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value&#13;of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company performs a regular review of the&#13;underlying assumptions, circumstances, time projections and revenue and expense estimates to decide if there is a possible impairment.&#13;In reviewing the long-lived assets relating to the ETI Acquisition as of December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that there was&#13;no impairment of the carrying value of such long-lived assets.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, all of the Company&amp;#146;s assets were located&#13;in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Research and Development Expenses&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company charges research and development&#13;expenses to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for personnel&#13;and outside contractor and consulting services. Other research and development expenses include the costs of materials and supplies&#13;used in research and development, prototype manufacturing, clinical studies, related information technology and an allocation of&#13;facilities costs.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Grant Income&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;Grants received are recognized as income when&#13;the related work is performed and the qualifying research and development costs are incurred and are presented as Other Income&#13;on the Company&amp;#146;s consolidated statements of operations. The Company received a grant totaling approximately $244,500 under&#13;the Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Grants Program during 2010. The Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Grants Program&#13;was included in the healthcare reform legislation and established a one-time pool of $1 billion for grants to small biotechnology&#13;companies developing certain novel therapeutics.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company is primarily subject to U.S. federal,&#13;Massachusetts, Pennsylvania&amp;#160;and New Jersey state income tax. Tax years subsequent to 2007 remain open to examination by U.S.&#13;federal and state tax authorities.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;For federal and state income taxes, deferred&#13;tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax basis of&#13;assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are based upon prescribed rates and enacted laws applicable to periods in which differences&#13;are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred&#13;tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, since the Company cannot be assured of realizing the deferred tax asset, a full valuation&#13;allowance has been provided.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain&#13;that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others may be subject to uncertainty&#13;about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position&#13;is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is&#13;more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes,&#13;if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not&#13;recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement&#13;with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured&#13;as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated&#13;interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. There was no uncertain tax position liabilities&#13;recorded at December 31, 2011.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company&amp;#146;s policy is to recognize&#13;interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no&#13;accruals for interest or penalties related to income tax matters.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Licensing and Other Revenue Recognition&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;To date, the Company has generated revenue&#13;primarily from licensing agreements, including upfront, nonrefundable license fees, with collaborators and licensees. The Company&#13;recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 6%; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#183;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 93%; text-align: justify"&gt;persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 6%; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#183;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 93%; text-align: justify"&gt;delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 6%; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#183;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 93%; text-align: justify"&gt;the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 6%; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#183;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 93%; text-align: justify"&gt;collectability is reasonably assured.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;In addition, when evaluating multiple element&#13;arrangements, the Company considers whether the components of the arrangement represent separate units of accounting. Multiple&#13;elements are divided into separate units of accounting if specified criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has&#13;stand-alone value to the customer and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items.&#13;The consideration received is allocated among the separate units based on their respective fair values, and the applicable revenue&#13;recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units. Otherwise, the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied&#13;to combined elements as a single unit of accounting.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company typically receives upfront, nonrefundable&#13;payments for the licensing of its intellectual property upon the signing of a license agreement. The Company believes that these&#13;payments generally are not separable from the payments it receives for providing research and development services because the&#13;license does not have stand-alone value from the research and development services it provides under its agreements. Accordingly,&#13;the Company accounts for these elements as one unit of accounting and recognizes upfront, nonrefundable payments as revenue on&#13;a straight-line basis over its contractual or estimated performance period. Revenue from the reimbursement of research and development&#13;efforts is recognized as the services are performed based on proportional performance adjusted from time to time for any delays&#13;or acceleration in the development of the product and is included in Other Revenue. The Company determines the basis of the estimated&#13;performance period based on the contractual requirements of its collaboration agreements. At each reporting period, the Company&#13;evaluates whether events warrant a change in the estimated performance period.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;Other Revenue includes amounts earned and billed&#13;under the license and collaboration agreements for reimbursement of research and development costs for contract engineering services.&#13;For the services rendered, principally third-party contract engineering services, the revenue recognized approximates the costs&#13;associated with the services.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recent Accounting Pronouncements&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value&#13;Measurement (Topic 820).&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The ASU provides amendments to achieve common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements&#13;in US GAAP and IFRS. The guidance clarifies and expands the disclosure pertaining to unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair&#13;value measurements, including the disclosure of quantitative information related to (1) the valuation processes used, (2) the&#13;sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs, and (3) use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that&#13;differs from the asset&amp;#146;s highest and best use. The guidance also requires that public entities disclose the level within&#13;the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for&#13;which the fair value is disclosed. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning&#13;after December 15, 2011 for public companies.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:SignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>

Expected&#13;volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Common Stock using historical periods consistent with the expected term&#13;of the options. The Company uses historical data, as well as subsequent events occurring prior to the issuance of the consolidated&#13;financial statements, to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options&#13;granted under the Company&amp;#146;s stock plans, all of which qualify as &amp;#147;plain vanilla,&amp;#148; is based on the average of&#13;the contractual term (generally 10 years) and the vesting period (generally 24&amp;#160;to 42 months) as permitted under SEC Staff&#13;Accounting Bulletin Nos. 107 and 110. The risk-free rate is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a term consistent&#13;with the option. Restricted stock grants are valued based on the closing market price for the Company&amp;#146;s Common Stock on the&#13;grant date.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company has maintained a full valuation&#13;allowance against its deferred tax items in both 2011 and 2010. A valuation allowance is required to be recorded when it is more&#13;likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since the Company cannot be assured&#13;of realizing the net deferred tax asset, a full valuation allowance has been provided.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22pt"&gt;The Company has no uncertain tax positions&#13;as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 that would affect its effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change&#13;in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. Since the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the&#13;Company is generally subject to US federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years for which a loss&#13;carryforward is available.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
