Isotechnika Appoints Transplant Physician as Vice-President of Medical Affairs

Trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange - (TSE:ISA)

EDMONTON, Nov. 6 /CNW/ - Isotechnika President & COO Dr. Randall Yatscoff
today announced the appointment of Dr. Anthony (Tony) Broski to the newly
created position of Vice-President of Medical Affairs.
Dr. Yatscoff says: "Dr. Broski brings considerable expertise in
transplantation medicine and research to our immunosuppressive drug research
team. He has also coordinated a number of clinical trials which will
facilitate the development of our lead drug ISA(TX)247 which is presently in
Phase II trials in renal (kidney) transplantation, psoriasis and rheumatoid
arthritis."
Dr. Broski is a transplant physician with extensive experience in both
internal medicine and nephrology. He has been Director of Dialysis Programs
for Northern Alberta and the Niagara Region serving 750 dialysis patients. He
has been an assistant or adjunct professor at three Canadian Universities -
McMaster in Hamilton, the University of Western Ontario in London and the
University of Alberta.
He played a major role in organ transplantation in the Niagara Region. He
started the area's first post op clinic for kidney transplant patients. He has
also been active in promoting organ donor awareness throughout his career.
Dr. Broski says: "Working with so many people on dialysis over the years
has given me a first hand insight into how important transplantation is in
changing their lives. I'm excited to be working with highly talented people at
Isotechnika in developing a drug which may play an equally important role in
improving the lives of transplant patients."
Dr. Yatscoff says: "Dr. Broski will be responsible for dealing with the
FDA, Health Canada and other government regulatory agencies."
