Please join us! “Fireside chat” webinar tomorrow with Angiex founders

Dear readers,

Please join me Wednesday at 4 pm Eastern with famed scientist, angiogenesis expert, discoverer of VEGF, and Angiex co-founder Dr. Harold Dvorak in an online Fireside Chat.

We’ll discuss Hal’s pathbreaking work in angiogenesis; the efforts of Hal and his collaborators to develop a universal therapy for all solid cancers by attacking the tumor vasculature; and the prospects for achieving such a universal therapy through antibody-drug conjugate therapies directed against the protein TM4SF1.

We’ll look at the process of discovering TM4SF1’s amazing biology and building Angiex; and the state of Angiex’s lead drug AGX101, now showing promising early results in Phase 1 clinical trials for all solid cancers.

Please join us for a fascinating discussion of science, entrepreneurship, and the effort to fulfill Angiex’s vision that “No One Should Die of Cancer!”

Angiex Doses First Patient in Clinical Trial of AGX101!

I’m pleased to announce that Angiex has dosed the first patient in our Phase 1 clinical trial of AGX101, Angiex’s lead drug.

As some of you know, 9 years ago Shou-Ching and I suspended our blog and health retreat to create Angiex. It’s been a busy and exciting nine years, and I’m looking forward to telling you about the special biology Shou-Ching discovered and the drug we’ve made in the weeks ahead.

But for today, I’m happy to simply savor the accomplishment of finally having the opportunity to test what we’ve made in clinical cancer patients. This is the fruit of 20 years of biology research and 12 years of drug development. Please keep an eye out for upcoming posts, and say a prayer for the success of Angiex and the cancer patients we are treating.

Are We Overly Obsessed with Healthy Eating?

It’s impossible to generalize about this, but readers may be interested in an article in the Boston Globe Magazine by Jenai Engelhard, in which I was quoted:

Is our obsession with healthy eating out of control?

A blessed Advent and Christmas to all our readers
