The Lifeboat Foundation Scientific Advisory Board reaches 500 members
Minden, NV | Posted on January 10th, 2008
The Lifeboat Foundation Scientific Advisory Board is broken up into 27
subboards ranging from Human Trajectories to Particle Physics to Space
Settlement and has developed 24 programs ranging from a BioShield
program to a NanoShield Program to a SecurityPreserver Program. More
information about these programs is available at
http://lifeboat.com/ex/programs .
Martine started United Therapeutics (NASDAQ: UTHR) in 1996 and has
served as Chairman & CEO since its inception. Her company develops
and/or commercializes unique analogs of natural molecules for
cardiopulmonary disorders, novel monoclonal antibodies for certain
cancers, small glycobiologicals for infectious diseases, telemedical
services (including for International Space Station astronauts) and
nutriceuticals. She has many, many, more accomplishments. Learn about
them at http://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.martine.rothblatt
LF International Spokesperson Philippe Van Nedervelde says, "We were
very lucky to get Martine on board with her many accomplishments ranging
from founding United Therapeutics, creating Sirius Satellite Radio, to
launching the Terasem Movement which is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
charity endowed for the purpose of educating the public on the
practicality and necessity of greatly extending human life, consistent
with diversity and unity, via geoethical nanotechnology and personal
cyberconsciousness."
