Biological Entrepreneurs


Whenever a child is sick, parents instinctively search out medicine or a cure. The task has been an unusually daunting . Two children were diagnosed with a rare muscle-wasting disorder called Pompe disease. The affliction is so rare, that not only was there no medicine to treat it, but the big pharmaceutical companies weren't even thinking about developing drugs for it.

So John Crowley did the only thing he could. He rounded up some scientists, hit up venture capitalists, and started a company to develop a drug to save his children's lives. It's been a draining five year odyssey, but earlier this year the Crowley children started their treatmentcthe former Soviet physician, microbiologist and biological warfare (BW) expert who play a major role in founding of Biological Entrepreneurs on march 11. His early job has to do with alot of thing related to biology which are Soviet physician, microbiologist and biological warfare (BW) expert. His main job was bio-defence for america in 1992 he retired to becoming a american citizen.

Alibekov wasn’t at Biomash long when he was placed in charge of the intensive preparations for the facility inspections that were to be conducted by a joint American and British delegation. While participating in the subsequent Soviet inspection of American facilities, his growing suspicion that the United States did not have an offensive BW program was confirmed before his return to Russia (the Soviet Union dissolved while he was in the US). Not long after his return from the US, Alibekov resigned from both the Soviet Army and from Biopreparat and secretly emigrated with his family to the US in the fall of 1992.[5]

Since moving to the US, Alibekov — who simplified his name to Ken Alibek — has provided the government with a detailed accounting of the former Soviet BW program and has testified before the U.S. Congress on numerous occasions (see also Sverdlovsk anthrax leak). He has provided guidance to the intelligence, policy, national security, and medical communities and has returned to the pure biomedical research that captured his interest as a medical student. He was the impetus behind the creation of an innovative biodefense graduate education program at George Mason University (GMU) that drew students from across the country and has served in the program as both a Distinguished Professor of Medical Microbiology and as the Director of Education. He also developed the plans for GMU’s biosafety level three (BSL-3) research facility and was instrumental in obtaining $40 million dollars of grants from the federal and state governments for construction of the facility.[6]

In 1999, Alibek published an autobiographical account of his work in the Soviet Union and his defection. instrumental in obtaining $40 million dollars of grants from the federal and state governments for construction of the facilityMaxwell Biocorporation, LLC is considered the biggest and most modern pharmaceutical production facility in all of the former Soviet Union.
