Besides my research at Novartis, I am very interested in biotech start-ups and would like to develop my own business focused on targeted drug delivery, 4s3 Bioscience, Inc.

4s3 Bioscience, Inc. is committed to developing novel technologies for Smarter, Stronger, and Safer treatment of human disease. We are currently pursuing IP protection for two innovative methodologies for targeted drug-delivery. The first, originating from our combined expertise in muscle biology and prodrug chemistry, utilizes the unique microenvironment of muscle cells, including enzyme expression and pH state, to specifically target small-molecules to skeletal and/or cardiac muscle tissue. The second, involves a transcendent modification to basic electrophoresis which could revolutionize intradermal drug-delivery. For both applications, through partnership or in-licensing, we
will obtain small-molecules with proven efficacy but which are not being pursued due to safety concerns. Using our targeted drug-delivery technologies, we will unmask the true therapeutic potential of these compounds, increasing their potency and reducing potential side-effects.
