Executive Summary
While a postdoc at Johns Hopkins University in the mid-1980s, Albert Wong, MD, made a fortuitous discovery that would form the basis of a start-up, Alteris Therapeutics Inc. (formerly Spliceomix Inc.), he eventually co-founded almost fifteen years later. His research-studying genes amplified in brain tumors-led him to investigate one of the better-known targets at the time: the EGF receptor (EGFR).
