Founder, Chairman and CEO – 7/1/04 to present Technology – PH Pharmaceuticals (PHP) has an issued patent on pharmaceutical aerosol technologies capable of mitigating or reversing the pulmonary clearance defects associated with cystic fibrosis (CF). The technology was discovered by Dr. George Scheele and his coworkers at Harvard Medical School based on 14 papers published between 1990 and 2001. These studies defined the ultimate biochemical deficiency associated with CF. A synopsis of these studies may be found under Scientist. Proof of Concept Human Trials – Under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Pilewski at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, IRB-sponsored “Proof-of-Concept” trials in cystic fibrosis patients have demonstrated both the safety and efficacy of the PHP technology. Proof of Concept trials continue in an effort to determine the efficacy of PHP's technology in subgroups of CF patients. Strategic Partnership - A strategic partnership has been formed between PHP and the Battelle Corporation in Columbus , OH , to provide the commercial formulation and to conduct the animal toxicology studies as part of drug development activities to commercialize PHP's technology for the treatment of cystic fibrosis Viral Shield Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Founder In 2002 I founded Viral Shield Pharmaceuticals, Inc., with 2-Hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin anti-viral technology licensed from Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. Over the past two years, we have met the following milestones: • Developed topical treatment products for Herpes labialis and Herpes genitalis. Phase IIA clinical trials will be conducted in Germany for Herpes genitalis and Hungary for Herpes labialis, starting in Q2, 2004, for European registration. • The first long-acting antiviral hand cream and skin lotion is currently under development. • Also under development are nasal/oral/pulmonary sprays for prevention and early treatment of Influenza, Parainfluenza and Respiratory Syncitial Virus (RSV) • Future efforts will develop microbicides to block the sexual transmission of:

FAVORITE QUOTE: "It is not the critic who counts. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." Teddy Roosevelt |
