Are You Walking Boston?
2008 Boston Walk to Cure Diabetes
Saturday, October 4, 2008 at the DCR Hatch Shell
“A crucial element to the Walk is corporate involvement. Without dedicated leadership, the Walk to Cure Diabetes would not be the success that it is today. The JDRF staff would like to welcome Douglas J. Ringler, VMD, Cofounder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Tolerx, as the Corporate Chair of the Boston Walk. Tolerx is one of JDRF’s Industry Discovery and Development partners. The Cambridge, MA-based biopharmaceutical company is currently conducting Phase III trials for the clinical development of TRX4, an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody that halts the immune system attack on the beta cells, thereby allowing them to continue to produce natural insulin.”
