DESCRIPTION: \n\nDr. Pinchuk’s entrepreneurial teams of chemists and engine
 ers have been involved in the development of the fundamental tools that ch
 anged radiology and cardiology from a diagnostic discipline to the therape
 utic interventional radiology and cardiology that is practiced today. They
  introduced the first commercially successful angioplasty balloon in the m
 id 1980’s. The most successful drug-eluting stent (TAXUS®) uses SIBS\, a n
 ovel polymer that they patented which is used as the carrier for the drug\
 , paclitaxel. The introduction of SIBS in medicine was an overwhelming suc
 cess that overcame many years of frustration from working with polymers th
 at were never designed to be used in the body. The success of SIBS in the 
 cardiovascular system led to the development of the InnFocus MicroShunt®\,
  a micro-conduit used to treat glaucoma by dropping intraocular pressure b
 y diverting aqueous humor from the anterior chamber of the eye to a flap f
 ormed under the conjunctiva. The MicroShunt is currently changing the way 
 advanced glaucoma is treated world-wide.\n\n \n\nRegistration is required 
 by Friday\, June 1. To register please refer to the following link: http:/
