  Fred Chin PhD

  Advisory Board

  Stanford

  Dr. Chin is Head of Cyclotron Radiochemistry and Assistant Professor of Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he researches and develops novel imaging agents and therapeutics with a focus on PET imaging. Closely linked with Stanford Health Care, Dr. Chin’s group provides more than 20 doses of 18F-FDG daily for standard-of-care PET imaging, and has brought or is in the process of bringing more than a dozen other tracers to the clinic. His group is involved in the arc of drug development, from research on the benchtop to translational first-in-human clinical studies, primarily using radiolabeled 18F and 11C tracers. Much of his interest lies in developing tracers to image the mysterious diseases of the brain (e.g., pain, addiction, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, glioblastoma) or other cancers.

  Dennis Liotta PhD

  Advisory Board

  Emory

  Dr. Liotta is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Chemistry at Emory University and Executive Director of the Emory Institute for Drug Development. Through his discoveries, Dr. Liotta has helped to transform HIV/AIDS from a death sentence to a chronic infection. Over 90% of all of the HIV-infected persons in the United States have taken one of the drugs he invented. Dr. Liotta is an inventor on 75 issued US patents, many of which cover the antiviral and anticancer drugs and drug candidates he has discovered. He is the co-founder of numerous companies, two of which were acquired by Gilead Pharmaceuticals. He is recognized as one of the premier discoverers of novel therapeutics in the United States, having been an inventor of 10 FDA approved therapeutics including Epivir, Combivir, Trizivir, Epzicom, Epivir-HBV, Emtriva, Truvada, Atripla, Complera and Stribid.

  Douglas Scherr MD

  Advisory Board

  Weill Cornell

  Dr. Scherr is a Professor of Urology and the Clinical Director of Urologic Oncology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Dr. Scherr’s clinical focus is the treatment of urologic malignancies – in particular, the treatment of prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and testicular cancers, as well as genitourinary and retroperitoneal sarcomas. He was the first physician at Cornell to perform a robotic prostatectomy, and travels nationally and internationally teaching the procedure to urologic surgeons. He has been active in the development of optical coherence tomography and its application to urologic imaging, and patented and developed the concept of “multiphoton endoscopy,” which utilizes high-speed laser energy to create high quality microscopic images of human tissue.
