August 9th, 2019 – Atlanta, Georgia U.S.A.
Feroz AGAD, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive of SAH Global and SAH Care has been appointed to Neutron Therapeutics Inc. Board of Advisors.
Neutron Therapeutics Inc. (NTI) is a Medical Equipment Company founded in 2005 to bring Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) out of the realm of medical research and transform it into a widely available first-line cancer therapy.
NTI has developed an accelerator-based, in-hospital neutron source composed of a 2.6 MeV electrostatic proton accelerator and a rotating, solid lithium target for generating neutrons. NTI will provide this neutron source as part of a comprehensive therapeutic treatment suite, that will combine all of the necessary components for BNCT treatment into a user-friendly package.
BNCT is a unique type of radiation therapy that enables targeting of cancer at the cellular level and treating cancer with a non-invasive two-step process. First, patients are injected with a tumor-seeking drug containing a non-radioactive isotope (boron-10) with a high neutron capture cross-section. In the second step, the patient is exposed to a beam of low energy neutrons, many of which are absorbed by the boron-10. The absorption initiates a reaction that emits short-range, high-energy charged particles. Which systematically destroy the tumor cells while imparting relatively little damage to adjacent areas of healthy tissue.
Feroz AGAD is an accomplished executive, investor and entrepreneur with over 15 years experience of managing multimillion-dollar corporations in industries including healthcare, real estate, communications, tourism and information technology. By capitalizing on his business acumen, technical expertise, interpersonal skills and strategic mindset, Mr. Agad has been instrumental in penetrating new markets and achieving significant sales growth for the companies he has previously founded and managed. Mr. Agad presently sits on the board of directors at four companies and sits on three advisory boards, a committee for a non-profit humanitarian organization and a committee on education.
He established SAH in 2004 with the vision of using the company as a catalyst to bring cutting edge Healthcare technology to the developing world. SAH Global is currently focused on establishing a global network of Proton Therapy Cancer Centers, while SAH Care is the medical treatment abroad division which currently brings cancer patients from around the world to SAH’s network of Cancer Centers for treatment in the USA.
In his overall reach in the fight against cancer, Feroz AGAD has particularly impacted the Industry of Proton Therapy and has demonstrated an exceptional spirit of Innovation to ensure patients from across the world have access to best treatment available. Feroz AGAD defines the future readiness of the Oncology organizations to not only meet the market demand, but to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients wherever they live.
With this appointment, NTI will use the experience of Feroz AGAD and of the SAH teams to develop its business, to get the regulatory approvals such as FDA and CE marks, and to conduct the necessary clinical studies to make BNCT available to more of the patients who could benefit from this exciting technique.
