Eckhard R. Podack, MD, PhD
Dr. Podack made a series of scientific discoveries pointing the way toward more effective treatments for lung cancer, infectious diseases and disorders of the immune system. He created a monoclonal antibody to seek out and attach to CD-30, a receptor on lymphoma cells. In addition he also discovered Perforin-1 and, more recently, Perforin-2, antibacterial proteins that help the body's immune system defend against infectious disease.
