Trumbull, CT (PRWEB) June 17, 2009

The Rett Syndrome Research Trust announced today the appointment of Nobel Laureate J. Michael Bishop, Christopher Lipinski and Axel Unterbeck to its Scientific Advisory Board. The Trust welcomes the gracious participation of this elite group of scientists who join the existing members including preeminent Rett Syndrome researchers, Adrian Bird and Huda Zoghbi.

Dr. Bishop received the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with his colleague Harold Varmus, currently the President of Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, for the revolutionary discovery of normal genes whose malfunction disposes cells to become cancerous.

Currently Chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Bishop is stepping down as of August 3rd after an eleven year tenure overseeing an unparalleled expansion of research facilities and accomplishments. He will continue to maintain his active laboratory and his position as Director of the G. W. Hooper Research Foundation at UCSF, which conducts multidisciplinary research on human disease.

"I know at first hand the personal and scientific challenges posed by Rett Syndrome and related disorders. I am eager to help the Rett Syndrome Research Trust in its quest for remedies to these tragic ailments," remarked Chancellor Bishop.

His many accolades include the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award and the 2003 National Medal of Science, the nation's highest scientific honor. He is a member the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and has written and collaborated on several books in addition to nearly 400 scientific papers, publications, and reviews.

Joining Dr. Bishop is Christopher Lipinski, a world-renowned medicinal chemist best known for his groundbreaking "Rule of Five", an algorithm that has dramatically impacted the way that pharmaceutical industry approaches the development of orally active drugs. The 1997 publication which the "Rule of Five" first appears in is the most frequently cited medicinal chemistry paper in the last decade.

Currently, Dr. Lipinski is an independent medicinal chemistry consultant. In 2002 he retired from the highest scientific position in the worldwide Pfizer research organization (Senior Research Fellow) and now serves as a Drug-Like Properties consultant to a variety of profit and not for profit organizations.

"I am very pleased to join the SAB of the RSRT because I believe that a strong medicinal chemistry input is a very important contributor to bridging the formidable translational gap between breakthrough discoveries in academic biology and the actual discovery of a drug that benefits the patient," said Dr. Lipinski.

Dr. Lipinski serves on the scientific advisory board of Melior Discovery, a biotech company committed to identifying new therapeutic indications for pre-clinical and development-stage pharmaceuticals, as well as the KU Leuven University, Dundee University and MRC Technology UK drug discovery efforts. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the highlights advisory board of Nature Reviews Drug Discovery. He is an adjunct faculty member in Biochemistry at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and has over 235 publications and invited presentations and 17 issued U. S. patents.

The Trust also welcomes Axel Unterbeck of Oxford Bioscience Partners, a venture capital firm that provides equity financing and management assistance to emerging, entrepreneurial-driven companies within the life sciences and healthcare sectors. He brings a wealth of experience spanning 23 years of R&D within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. He held various positions at Bayer AG in Germany and the U. S., including Head of Central Nervous System/Dementia Research. Prior to joining Bayer AG, Dr Unterbeck was a member of the scientific team at the Institute for Genetics in Cologne which achieved the first full-length cloning of the human amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. In 2001 he co-founded with Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel Memory Pharmaceuticals where he served as President and Chief Scientific Officer. Memory Pharmaceuticals was recently purchased by Roche.

"I am delighted to be working with Monica Coenraads and RSRT's translational effort. At this critical point in Rett Syndrome research, the Trust is uniquely positioned to promote research towards multiple pathways for drug discovery and development and to identify new avenues for therapeutic intervention in this complex field. RSRT's high standards and ability to engage extraordinary scientists and thinkers, combined with Monica's ten-year track record of progress in this field, should inspire the confidence and hope of Rett families everywhere," said Dr. Unterbeck.

"Chancellor Bishop is a thoughtful man who cares deeply about science and its translation. His decision and that of Drs. Lipinski and Unterbeck, to join our board, is an incredible vote of confidence with regards to RSRT's efforts. The intellectual capital behind the Trust coupled with our ability to drive meaningful collaborations between academia and industry will be key to the successful development of interventions. We are honored and grateful to Chancellor Bishop, Dr. Lipinski, Dr. Unterbeck and to all of our scientific advisors for their commitment to our cause," remarked Monica Coenraads, executive director of RSRT and mother of a child afflicted with Rett Syndrome.

About Rett Syndrome
Rett Syndrome is the most physically disabling of the autism spectrum disorders. Primarily affecting little girls, it usually strikes by 18 months of age, often just after a child has learned to walk and talk. As the cascade of Rett symptoms descend on her, she loses acquired skills, normal movement and speech, and begins the long regression that may leave her in a wheelchair, unable to communicate or use her hands. Extreme anxiety, Parkinson-like tremors, and orthopedic problems are common. Many children have intractable seizures. Some must be fed through tubes. Breathing, cardiac, circulatory and digestive functions are impaired. Many children live to adulthood, requiring total, 24-hour-a-day care.

Plastic Surgeons Oppose Proposed Cosmetic Surgery Tax

Plastic Surgeons Oppose Proposed Cosmetic Surgery Tax

Respected physicians across the country, including New Jersey plastic surgeon Robert Zubowski, are making their voices heard in opposition to what would be the first ever tax levied on patients for medical procedures.

Paramus, NJ (PRWEB) December 8, 2009

Last week, democratic leaders in the Senate unveiled their proposal for overhauling the health care system, which included a new 5% tax on elective cosmetic surgery procedures. Senate Democrats argue that the tax, which was a surprise addition to the sweeping 2,074-page bill, will generate $5.8 billion over the next 10 years to be put towards the bill's estimated $849 billion price tag. However, many physicians, including Dr. Robert Zubowski, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) oppose this tax as discriminatory, arbitrary and ineffective.

What's at stake?
This is a discriminatory tax. According to the Aesthetic Society Annual Statistics, 91% of all cosmetic surgery procedures are requested by women.

This will not have considerable consequences on the wealthiest patients but, as usual, affects the middle class. Working women, soccer moms, and scores of others who carefully save and budget to improve their appearance and self esteem with plastic surgery procedures like tummy tuck and breast lift will be penalized for doing so.

Procedures such as breast reduction that have been cited in the literature for improving self esteem and quality of life would be taxed as well.

This provision places plastic surgeons in the role of tax collector and holds physicians liable should an individual fail or refuse to pay the tax. Is that the relationship you want with your medical provider?

"Medical care should not be used as a tool to fix broken finances," said Bergen County, New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Zubowski. "As doctors our first concern always needs to be patient health and safety."

Physicians in New Jersey and across the country are urging cosmetic surgery patients to let their voice be heard by contacting their State Senator at: http://www. senate. gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm. cfm (http://www. senate. gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm. cfm)

About Dr. Robert Zubowski, Real Housewives of New Jersey Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Robert Zubowski is a renowned New Jersey plastic surgeon who has been addressing the cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation, and reconstructive needs of women, men and children for more than 20 years. He completed his general surgery residency at New York Medical College and an additional residency at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic Foundation, He has served as an associate professor of Plastic Surgery at New York Medical College and as the plastic surgery specialty director of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation Alumni Association, where he is also an adjunct staff member. He is a former associate director of plastic surgery at Ridgewood's The Valley Hospital and holds a Certificate of Advanced Education in Cosmetic Surgery from the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

By combining the small scale design of CoSign Desktop, with the capacity to scale to the enterprise-focused CoSign digital signature solution, ARX has bridged the gap that prevented an entire business segment from intuitive digital signature solutions.

"It was clear from the feedback we were receiving from vendors and customers that this segment of the market had a specific need that wasn't being met by pre-existing digital signature solutions (http://www. arx. com/documents/10-Tips-for-Selecting-the-Best-Digital-Signature-Solution. php)," said Gadi Aharoni, CEO, ARX.
