In Reply to: Islet Foundation conflict of interest? posted by Ronald Hollman on April 25, 1998 at 14:56:35:
You people at the IFW are really a bunch of cowards. Al does have an interest in a venture but he also has disclosed it publicly on this forum in the past. My view is this does not represent a conflict, as he has been supportive of all research for islet cell transplants. He has also argued for islet cell funding without ever once mentioning special treatment for encelle. Encelle does not have an active voice on this forum and many, many others have been mentioned here as well. So the cowards from the IFW can just go home, but don’t look in a mirror you may not like what you see.
His interest is small in dollar terms and a greater return could be had by not playing host to dead heads like...
