Four world-renowned cancer physicians and scientists joined the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center and the UNM Cancer Center. They are Wadih Arap, MD, PhD, and Renata Pasqualini, PhD, experts in discovery of new cancer drugs and treatment of prostate and other advanced cancers; Martin J. Edelman, MD, FACP, expert in treatment of lung and aerodigestive cancers; and Anita Kinney, PhD, expert in cancer prevention and public health, community-based research, and cancer health disparities.
The way I see it.... is The University of New Mexico Cancer Center may very well be setting up for a nice early head start with expanding indications for targeting PS. "QUALITY" top scientists being added here and I'd say they all know that PS is the target.... even Dr. Edelman had the quote: "I look forward to being involved in the upcoming Phase III trial and to seeing the potential of bavituximab in other indications and combinations," said Martin J. Edelman, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center"
The University of New Mexico ... please keep all Fargooites out of sight. ----------------------------------------------------------------
Hope is Here: Building New Mexico's Cancer Team for the Future
