Dr. Michael Forrest

I earned my undergrad degree in biochemistry at Cambridge University and my Ph.D. in computer science. I have 7 years experience in disease biology research. An example of one of my peer-reviewed scientific publications is here.

One of my discoveries is that a drug for treating emphysema, almitrine, has anticancer efficacy. Disclosed here. In vitro, in independent anti-cancer testing at the National Cancer Institute (USA), almitrine outperforms many present cancer drugs (e.g. carboplatin) and has already been shown extremely safe in humans, with less side-effects than all present cancer drugs. Almitrine is accumulated at high concentration in the lungs. One of my near-term objectives is to get almitrine into human trials for lung cancer (NSCLC).
