In contrast with the world of high-tech, the community of biotech of Israel is populated with the women who lead the company life-in change in millennium new. They are CEOs and expert of the business development that sniff for is of the possibilities of the new technology of the Israeli academy and they bring them then to the life.
One of these women is Anat Eitan, to founder and CEO of two new departures AllergyFight and VacciGuard of biotech. After to work in pharmaceuticals of Teva in the innovative R&D per 12 years, “I learned all needed I to know for drugs becoming,” Eitan I say ISRAEL21c.
Before changedding an enterprising one it was the CEO of Metabogal (now Protalix), and worked as a consultant in technology transfer.
Recognizing a chance in the research of Prof. Irun Cohen of the institute of Weizmann of science, the last year in advance Eitan established VacciGuard inside of the accelerator of the risk of Misgav.
The company, that it intends to develop vaccines of meeting to the illnesses such as cancer of lung, could improve the probabilities for the 350,000 Americans who die of cancer of lung each year.
Now in the period of training to establish the test-$$$-CONCEITO in the animal models for occidental vaccines of cancer of the virus and lung of Nile, VacciGuard, if it passed clinical experimentations, it could open above of an entire new world for the treatment of the illness.
“VacciGuard allows the immune system of the body to efficiently answer to antigens non-non-immunogenic, such as peptides or polysaccharides, expressed or in pathogens or the fabrics of cancer,” say Eitan. “these antigens generally do not activate the immune system to generate antibodies efficient of meeting if.”
Or either the technology of VacciGuard converts strong weak antigens into immunogens and cra notvelmente efficient vaccines, it explain.
The vaccine of the lung-lung-cancer of VacciGuard would be managed the surgery after and chemotherapy of cancer when the doctor removes the tumor preliminary, where the survival of the point of cancer of lung is consideravelmente low - approximately 15 percent on five years. The re-occurrence of cancer is very probable at this moment and Eitan waits that VacciGuard can stop cancer in its tracks.
Pathogens could also work of meeting to others such as the meningitis and the pneumonia.
Its second AllergyFight company, supported for the incubator of the technology of Ashkelon, was initiated in 2007 been slow.
More good that it masks the symptoms of allergies, that is as the majority of drugs works today, technology of AllergyFight, based on the research of Prof. Israel Pecht of the Weizmann, and Prof. Anna Erdei of the university of Budapest, Hungria, is established in an agent modifying of the illness, more good that in that alliviates only symptoms.
Allergies afflict approximately 40-50 million peoples in And U. each year and between them approximately 36 million suffers also from the rhinitis allergic seasonal, or the fever of the hay. Beyond the cause of allergies of the misery, they can also lead to the circumstances life-threatening. A safe and efficient drug for allergies hindering and of treatment is very so necessary.
Eitan is happy to make its part, and recognizes a field playing entrepreneurial fort in Israel, opens it it the men and to the women. “to be an entrepreneur he is something in my nature,” says. “I always felt that I would changed one.”
With the two children of its proper ones, he compares the development of new drugs childrearing. “to make examination of something of a period of training of start and to bring it it maturation, I v the connection between my work and the spirit feminine.”
E if Eitan did not work in drugs if becoming of the notice, it could fcilmente be seen to dislocate in the life of a world-traveller - a luck of the anthropologist who lives enters one tribe in deep Africa or in the forest in some place.
Perhaps in its following life?
