Mikhail Gishizky, Ph.D., has over 25 years experience in research and
development within the academic, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry settings where he led efforts in the development of revolutionary signal transduction inhibitor drugs for the treatment of cancers and other diseases. Dr. Gishizky has been instrumental in establishing two biotechnology companies (SUGEN, Entelos) whose technology is helping to bring the promise of personalized medicine to the patient’s bedside. Most recently, as the Chief Scientific Officer at Entelos, Dr. Gishizky supervised the development of capabilities and scientific programs that employ computer simulation models to identify patient populations who would benefit most from new medicines and combination therapies. Use of these capabilities result in faster and more cost-effective drug development programs by helping drug developers predict patient responses prior to initiation of therapy, thus helping physicians optimize the beneficial outcome and minimize the risk to the patient. Dr. Gishizky has been a member of the Institute of Medicine Forum on Drug Discovery, Development and Translation since 2005. Earlier in his career, Dr. Gishizky held positions of increasing management responsibility at SUGEN, Pharmacia, and Pfizer (as Vice President and Research Zone Head), developing targeted therapies and signal transduction pathway analysis tools to identify patients most likely to respond to given therapies (e.g., Sutent, a leader in the class of signal transduction inhibitors marketed by Pfizer). Dr. Gishizky received his degree in Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco, where his work focused on defining the molecular mechanisms responsible for the development and progression of Diabetes Mellitus. Dr. Gishizky’s post-doctoral training and academic work focused on cancer biology and hematopoietic cell development. His research led to the development of in vitro systems and an animal model for human Chronic Myeloid Leukemia that was instrumental in the development of Gleevec. Dr. Gishizky has published extensively in the areas of Diabetes Mellitus and oncology research. During his tenure within the biotech/pharma industry Dr. Gishizky has led research efforts across a broad range of therapeutic areas including oncology, immunology, inflammation, and CNS and metabolic diseases.
