From Lab to Patient, Garage to Market THE TRUTH BEHIND SILENT SYSTEM SABOTAGE
radiopharmaceutical therapies points to a future in which radiation will be delivered directly to cancer cells via targeting molecules. Already shown to be highly effective in metastatic prostate cancer, this method has the potential to be expanded to address other tumors. While there may still be a long road ahead before these concepts are fully validated and standardized, things are moving in an encouraging direction. ... continued from Cover Other developments being investigated include extensive research into next-generation CAR T- cell therapy to tackle solid tumors, antibody-drug conjugates and expansions in tumor-agnostic targeted therapies. Additionally, there is an early- phase clinical investigation of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (“CRISPR”) cancer therapies, minimal residual disease testing via circulating tumor DNA, bispecific antibodies (T-cell engagers) and personalized messenger ribonucleic acid (“RNA”) cancer vaccines. While these terms may sound complex, they collectively represent one of the most promising frontiers in cancer treatment and prevention we’ve ever witnessed. They also offer strong reasons for optimism about what the future may hold. As fascinating and inspiring as this progress is, let’s never forget that the greatest tools in treating and overcoming cancer often come from within ourselves. According to the American Cancer Society, studies show that maintaining a positive mental attitude can improve the emotional quality of life for people with cancer by reducing fear, anxiety and emotional distress. While staying positive is often easier said than done, especially during such a challenging time, the support of family and friends can make a meaningful difference. Additionally, counseling services and support groups can do wonders in helping people with cancer find community and regain a sense of hope and control. It’s difficult to think of a silver lining with cancer, but I’ve learned that one does indeed exist. Amid struggles and painful goodbyes, I’ve also seen humanity’s capacity for strength, compassion, and perseverance. In the advances in medical research unfolding every day, I also see hope for better treatments, longer lives and the day when cancer no longer casts such a long shadow on our lives.

One in five small businesses will experience a cyber breach this year. Will yours be one of them?
To help his clients and other startups better shield themselves from the increasing dangers of third-party hackers, Philip Crowley welcomes expert perspectives from Bob Michie, president of MetroMSP, on Episode 30 of the “From Lab to Patient, Garage to Market” podcast. A pioneer in the cybersecurity field since the 1980s, Michie was instrumental in (among other things) building the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s on- campus response to the notorious Morris internet worm and overseeing internet security for Toys “R” Us. His current venture, MetroMSP, offers a wide range of services, including tailored IT solutions for small- and medium-size businesses in New Jersey. Additionally, he authored a chapter (“Is Your Email Being Hacked?”) for the Amazon-bestselling book “Managing Your Business Risk in the Cybersecurity Minefield: Critical Strategies from 21 Cybersecurity Experts.” As Michie explains on the podcast, an unusually quiet inbox is a common sign of a potential hack. In these cases, hackers often breach the system and create rules to hide critical emails from the user. The hackers may scan emails for invoices and other sensitive information to later impersonate the user in interactions with senders. In one example, Michie had a client who sent a retainer agreement that a hacker intercepted, and the hacker then sent new banking details to the recipient. This act resulted in $10,000 being sent to a fraudulent account. His client later spent $35,000 on a forensic analyst to address the issue. Although insurance covered the process, the client still had to pay a $10,000 deductible. To help companies better navigate cybersecurity threats, Michie offers a free infographic, “15 Ways to Protect Your Business From Cyber Threats,” available at 15ways.MetroMSP.com . Additionally, he is available for cybersecurity strategy calls that can be scheduled via Info.MetroMSP.com . An e-book version of “Managing Your Business Risk in the Cybersecurity Minefield: Critical Strategies from 21 Cybersecurity Experts” is made available for those who book a call. Hosted by Crowley Law LLC Founder and Managing Partner Philip Crowley, the “From Lab to Patient, Garage to Market” podcast is available on YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and all major podcast channels.
Until then, I honor those who have fought, those we’ve lost, and those still on their journey.
