Laptop Battery By WTN News • 06/21/04
MADISON Quintessence Biosciences, Inc. has formed a scientific advisory board to guide the company in its development of cancer therapeutics.
Announced last week by President and Chief Executive Officer Ralph Kauten, the board will consist of distinguished scientific leaders who will help supplement the scientific and medical knowledge within Quintessence Biosciences, Inc. They will also assist the company as it designs, conducts and evaluates its drug development plan, including the results of its preclinical and clinical studies.
Cancer affects one of every three people at some point during their life, Kauten said. Quintessence Biosciences must have access to the best medical and scientific guidance in order to successfully turn innovative science into effective medicines. With these scientific advisors, I am confident that we can find the right way.
The scientific advisors include:
Howard H. Bailey, M.D., associate professor in the departments of medicine, obstetrics and gynecology of the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center
Thomas J. Burke, Ph.D., faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and co-founder and former chief scientific officer of PanVera Corporation
Anthony J. Clemento, Jr., former vice president for scientific and regulatory consulting for Covance Laboratories
Laura L. Kiessling, Ph.D., professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UW-Madison and co-founder of Quintessence Biosciences, Inc.
Ronald T. Raines, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry and chemistry at UW-Madison, co-founder of Quintessence Biosciences, Inc. and inventor of the EVade ribonuclease technology
Paul M. Sondel, M.D., Ph.D., professor in the departments of pediatrics, human oncology and genetics at the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center
Founded in 2003, Quintessence Biosciences, Inc. is a company engaged in creating products based on chemistry and biochemistry technologies discovered at UW-Madison and licensed from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
