Excerpts from Squalus Pharma website; https://www.squalusmed.com
Nice to see the solid professional background with COMMERCIAL SUCCESS in spades for both of the founders of Squalus. Makes this endeavor have a lot more meat on the bone than just an idea from newbie inventors. Don't think we will see much of a sit back and wait attitude from these two.
Leadership
Moshe Eshkol
Moshe a solid state physicist, did his PhD. Studies at the Tel Aviv University, has extensive knowledge of numerical simulations, FEA analysis and optical and mechanical design. Moshe led the development of a new type of stent for the treatment of hypertension at Vascular Dynamics. The stent is in advanced clinical trials with the potential to impact over one billion people. Moshe founded and led Asymmetric medical, where he invented the SmartFiber an asymmetric revolutionary fiber optic that redefined the use of fibers in the medical world. The SmartFiber was integrated in various products for the laparoscopy, orthopedic surgery and GYN including collaborations with Flex Inc. and TAG Medical. Moshe is also a veteran of the Israeli Air Force discharged as a Major and continues to be an active pilot.
Gil Shapira
Gil brings forward over 26 years of engineering and product development and management experience, with over 17 years in the surgical laser industry. Gil owns and manages neoLaser, a company he founded in 2012, and led to revenue growth and profitability and a CAGR of 35% from 2014 to 2019. neoLaser has over 800 global installations and performs more than 30,000 surgeries annually in over 30 countries. Previously Gil led product development and marketing at OmniGuide, a successful high-growth laser based medical device spin-off out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
