Well, at least the news about Nance seem to be helping INGN's stock price today, albeit that was more than a month ago.<g> David G. Nance Receives Albert Einstein Award Monday August 7, 8:00 am ET CEO of Introgen Therapeutics Receives Prize for Outstanding Achievement in the Life Sciences HOUSTON and AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- David G. Nance, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Introgen Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: INGN - News) has been presented with the 2006 Albert Einstein Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Life Sciences. Mr. Nance received the award for his work in developing new cancer therapies which unlock the body's molecular cancer defense mechanisms to spare cancer patients from the devastating side effects of conventional cancer treatments. "I want to know how God created this world ... I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details." This statement of Albert Einstein reflects his uninhibited curiosity and ingeniousness that led him to monumental achievements. It is also what drives the recipients of a tribute bearing the great scientist's name, the Albert Einstein Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Life Sciences. Previous recipients of the prestigious Albert Einstein Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Life Sciences include Francis Collins, the Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. Other 2006 Einstein award recipients included James Rothman, Professor of Physiology & Cellular Biophysics at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and George Poste, Director of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. The Albert Einstein Award was presented at a June 2006 ceremony in Jerusalem by Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after remarks by Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres. The award is given annually by the Global Business Leadership Council to individuals whose vision and commitment have contributed to the critical advancement of life-saving and life-enhancing technology. David Nance commented, "I share this honor with colleagues striving to improve the lives of cancer patients. Einstein's profound gift was to connect seemingly diverse elements to explanations of universal systems. We are trying to apply similar principles to connect elements of biological systems. I am humbled to receive an award named for one of my heroes." Snip Bernard
