Galectin Therapeutics Granted Interlinked an Exclusive Interview During Recent FSXinterlinked Investment Conference
(PRWEB) August 29, 2013 -- At the recent FSXinterlinked Investment Conference, held at the Ritz Carlton in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Galectin Therapeutics' Executive Chairman, Jim Czirr, granted an exclusive interview for the FSXinterlinked channel on InterlinkedTV.
Galectin Therapeutics is a development-stage company, engaged in the discovery and development of therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, liver, microbial, and inflammatory diseases. Galectin Therapeutics is applying its leadership in galectin science and drug development to create new therapies for fibrotic disease and cancer. The company’s drug candidates are based on unique carbohydrate technology to target galectin proteins, which are key mediators of biologic and pathologic function. Galectin Therapeutics leverages extensive scientific and development expertise as well as established relationships with outside sources to achieve cost effective and efficient development. The company is pursuing a clear development pathway to clinical enhancement and commercialization for lead compounds in liver fibrosis and cancer immunotherapy.
During the interview, Mr. Czirr stated that "In our pre-clinical studies, we have already treated mice, rats and monkeys, and we have been able to reverse the scar tissue in the liver; there is no drug on the market that does this today." He added "So the millions of people that have fatty liver disease with cirrhosis, which by the way number more than people who have cancer, so this is a silent epidemic of people who have great need for this drug, we represent their best hope right now. We are very excited about the opportunity to affect so many people's lives positively."
The full interview is available on the FSXinterlinked channel on InterlinkedTV and more information is available at Galectin Therapeutics' website.
