he healthcare industry in the United States is nothing short of massive, encompassing businesses that provide medical services, manufacture medical equipment or drugs, offer AI technologies, and insurance services. In 2021, the US national healthcare expenditure reached a staggering $4.3 trillion, with estimates projecting it to rise to $6.2 trillion by 2028.

Within this power of an industry, Starpax Biopharma Inc. stands as a remarkable player, poised to address solid cancer tumors that account for 90% of cancers and a staggering 89% of cancer-related deaths. This represents a global addressable market of $901 billion annually within just five years. It is, without a doubt, a huge task.

At the helm of Starpax Biopharma Inc. is Michael Gareau, the CEO, and Founding President, whose journey into the healthcare industry has been nothing short of extraordinary. Michael Gareau shares his insights, experiences, and the groundbreaking innovations that are poised to reshape the future of cancer treatment.

From Private Equity to Healthcare Pioneer: Michael Gareau Michael’s journey into the healthcare industry was preceded by a successful career as the Founding President and Managing Director of Ipax Capital L.L.P., a private equity firm specializing in sophisticated high-tech companies. Ipax Capital achieved remarkable success, launching the Ipax One fund.

It was a co-investment High-tech Private Equity fund that invested in 32 startup and small to medium-sized operating companies across eight different countries earning it recognition as one of the "Best Performing Private Equity Funds" out of 20,500 PE funds globally, according to Preqin, London.

Private equity firms typically raise capital from investors, acquire companies, nurture their growth, and eventually sell them, distributing capital gains to investors.

However, Michael's journey took an unexpected turn when he stumbled upon two groundbreaking patents related to virtual monopole magnetic fields.

This discovery left him awestruck by its potential for revolutionizing cancer treatment. Fueled by this vision, he made the bold decision to leave the private equity sector behind and acquire these patents, laying the foundational blocks for what would become Starpax Biopharma Inc.

Cover Story The Inspiration Behind In Michael’s role, he reviewed a number of potential deals, evaluating over 20,000 opportunities in his career.

However, it was a serendipitous encounter with two patents related to Virtual Monopole Magnetic Fields in 2016 that sparked his passion. These two patents were the result of 17 years of research involving 118 professionals.

Recognizing the extraordinary potential of this scientific discovery, he made the decision to acquire these patents and embark on a groundbreaking journey to develop a revolutionary cancer treatment technology. This endeavor, now safeguarded by 50 patents and pending patents, required him to uproot his life, moving from Europe to Quebec, Canada.

The profound impact of cancer, with the loss of family members and their struggles with treatments' side effects, served as a powerful motivation.

Michael is dedicated to easing cancer patients' suffering and enhancing their well-being. His commitment to this technology comes from his belief in its ability to help many people.

Building The Company Founding the company from scratch, Michael embarked on a journey that began with acquiring the two patents.

He recalls those early days when he sat alone in a tiny office, rented from a business center, and embarked on the journey of building a company from the ground up. The subsequent step was to assemble a team that could transform his vision into a reality.

The crucial task was finding a partner with extensive experience, preferably over 15 to 20 years, to serve as a solid

Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Building a startup requires a COO with an entrepreneurial mindset. He needed someone who has already been through the challenges of entrepreneurship and possesses the foresight needed to navigate the uncharted territories of a startup.

Michael found the perfect fit in Thierry Page, an entrepreneur with two decades of experience, whose company had been acquired by a major player in the chemical industry. Thierry's subsequent roles in big institutions and corporations provided him with insights into advanced administration processes, setting him apart as the ideal candidate for the role of COO at Starpax.

Michael says, “With Thierry in place as COO, I was able to concentrate on defining the strategy, mission, and objectives of the company and take the most important first decisions that will have the best impact on the development and success of Starpax for years to come.”

the other hand, creates a magnetic field around the tumor, locking in the Magnetodrones and force them to spread throughout the tumor volume.

Artificial intelligence, driven by MRI data, precisely control the trajectory of the Magnetodrones within the tumor, releasing the drug as they go.

Importantly, Magnetic fields produced by the PolarTrak are safe for humans, as they are 2,000 times less powerful than those of an MRI. “Preclinical results on human tumors grown in animals have demonstrated a remarkable 100% remission rate, with no significant side effects observed.”

In the coming clinical trials, dose calculations show 800 fewer toxic molecules in the patient’s body and a drug concentration within the tumor 50 times higher than the current systemic chemotherapy The technology is conceived to address solid tumors that represent approximately 90% of cancers and 89% of cancer deaths.

Leveraging Technology for Efficiency

The Starpax Biopharma Revolution The company’s hallmark achievement is the development of a groundbreaking modality for cancer treatment. This revolutionary approach harnesses four scientific disciplines to create two critical components: the Magnetodrones and the PolarTrak, which work in perfect synergy.

Magnetodrones, comprise of specialized Starpax Bn1-S bacteria, are magnetically guided drug carriers.

Unlike traditional drug delivery, they travel in the interstitial space of tumor tissues, minimizing systemic exposure and side effects. These Magnetodrones are directly injected into the tumor, remain confined, and naturally die within 60 minutes. The PolarTrak, on

Technology is at the core of Starpax Biopharma's remarkable efficiency in its processes. Over 350 professionals have worked since the acquisition in 2016 of the two patents, having combined Electromagnetism Engineering, Microbiology ,Biochemistry and artificial intelligence to scale up the original concept and eventually patented an extraordinary discovery. From these foundational patents, the company’s engineers, microbiologists, biochemists and Ai programmers embarked on creating a never before seen cancer treatment technology changing the way cancer will be treated.They had to invent the Polartrak, a medical device in which the patient is positioned, that produce patented virtual monopole magnetic

Cover Story fields capable of precisely controlling the trajectory of organisms, a feat requiring expertise in electromagnetism engineering and microbiology. Moreover, to transport FDA-approved drugs, the company had to develop its own Magnetodrones created in laboratory and invent manufacturing equipment to produce them, as existing solutions were inadequate.

“If you haven’t learned any lesson from the crisis, it’s time to think about it before it happens again.”

The most complex challenge was ensuring that the Magnetodrones could navigate within the tumor, remain within it, and effectively distribute the drug throughout its entire volume without escaping into the bloodstream.

Micheal adds, “So we came out with Starpax PolarTrak’s AI taking data from an MRI of the patient’s tumor and creating algorithms to do all this. As you can see, Starpax is the result of many intertwined technologies.”

The Future of the Healthcare Industry: A Multidisciplinary Approach

The Resilience of Healthcare Companies Post-COVID-19 The global healthcare landscape underwent a seismic shift in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Michael acknowledges that the companies still standing after the crisis were inherently strong and well-prepared.

Conversely, those unable to adapt to the rapidly changing circumstances faced closure.

Many pharmaceutical giants are struggling with expiring patents and limited innovation from their own labs.

The oncology sector, for instance, has witnessed minimal groundbreaking advancements over the past 15 years.

While incremental progress has been made with new products, true gamechangers have been elusive. This has led to a trend of acquiring product candidates from other companies or buying smaller firms.

For the healthcare companies that emerged from the crisis, the immediate focus was on financial consolidation, restoring stability, and resuming preCOVID growth trajectories. The pandemic revealed the vulnerability of healthcare systems worldwide, and companies have since been vigilant in preparing for potential future crises.

The specter of another pandemic is still at large, and the healthcare industry is actively bracing itself for the next potential challenge.

The industry has been between biochemistry and precision-target drugs over the past two decades.

Differentiation between products has been marginal, with few achieving FDA approval and limited improvements in stability or efficacy. According to Michael, the industry's current trend is like the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. It is characterized by a recent shift towards immunotherapy, with 6682 immuno-oncology clinical trials underway. Michael says,

18 | October 2023

From his vantage point as an industry leader, Michael emphasizes the critical need for lessons to be learned from the COVID-19 crisis. He underscores the importance of proactive measures and offers advice for staying aware and prepared for the future.

The healthcare industry is on the verge of a transformative era.. This is characterized by providers offering customized multi-sciences-driven therapeutic solutions. This shift challenges the conventional methods of chemical medications as the primary treatment model for diseases.

“The instability of immunotherapy treatments, the difficulties for immune cells to reach hypoxic areas of the tumor where stem cells are located, their cost, and their narrow market restricting their access to neo-adjuvant (first line treatment) status will not make them the solution for the large part of the cancer population. So, we certainly ask where the cancer industry is leading. Certainly not toward a big shift. But at Starpax, we are convinced our technology will change the game.”

Innovations and Research Michael's views are optimistic about the prospects of medical devices. He believes that diagnostic devices, powered by sophisticated algorithms and AI, will play a pivotal role in shaping the industry's future. These devices are becoming increasingly intelligent, offering advanced diagnostic capabilities and improved patient care.

Michael also notes the emergence of AI in drug development, a trend that has the potential to significantly shorten research and development timelines. AI can rapidly analyze millions of molecular combinations, expediting the drug discovery process and reducing costs. However, he believes that AI will not replace clinical trials in the foreseeable future.

He says, “Many interesting innovations will come from small medical devices that are constantly improved due to AI. Concerning the cancer treatment itself, we see Starpax being at the forefront of the innovation with a technology that would solve what chemotherapy or immunotherapy haven’t solved for a century.”

Cover Story Michael Gareau's Leadership Philosophy His leadership philosophy is nuanced, recognizing that individuals within a team may require different approaches.

He emphasizes the importance of aligning passion within a startup team.

“In startups, the owner, CEO, or COO are the ones who should consider this.

Next, make all managers understand that bringing everyone in the same direction is not a one-size-fits-all path.”

In a startup, challenges are a constant, and team members must have the same fervor for the project to overcome obstacles. Michael fosters an environment where employees see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable problems.

His approach to leadership varies depending on the experience and knowledge of team members.

Seasoned professionals often benefit from pep talks, recognition, and rewards. Those with less experience may require more guidance and handson support.

Michael emphasizes the importance of coaching and constructive feedback to help team members progress. In his leadership philosophy, communication is vital, and he actively engages with his team to maintain a sense of family within the organization.

Roadblocks and Triumphs “Entrepreneurs or CEOs of small or big corporations all have similar challenges to rise up the ranks.”

Michael’s journey has been punctuated by significant challenges. Deaf since the age of 16, he reads on lips and not a native English speaker, he faced

extraordinary obstacles in his quest to raise $70 million and establish Starpax Biopharma. Learning English and communicating effectively in a business context were formidable challenges, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic when everybody was wearing mask while remote communication through platforms like Zoom were producing lag between images and sound.

Despite these hurdles, Starpax Biopharma has made remarkable strides.

The company now boasts three new laboratories dedicated to developing proprietary bacteria, a GMP manufacturing plant for Magnetodrones, and the delivery of its first PolarTrak to a top-tier hospital for clinical trials. The PolarTrak, a medical device that plays a pivotal role in the treatment process, marks a significant achievement in Starpax's journey.

Shaping Tomorrow’s Healthcare “The healthcare industry is like a colossal ship that will not take a turn rapidly.”

Michael believes that Starpax Biopharma is at the forefront of healthcare innovation. The company's technology could solve cancer treatment challenges that have lasted for decades. It has created a game-changer solution.

Its multidisciplinary approach sets it apart. It shows us a peek into the future, where companies need to explore and combine different technologies to do better. The convergence of Biochemistry, Microbiology, Electromagnetism Engineering, and AI offers a glimpse into the future of healthcare, where integrated solutions supersede traditional pharmaceutical approaches.

Michael's vision for the industry emphasizes the need for adaptability and the ability to seamlessly merge these different scientific disciplines into a

single product. His journey from private equity to pioneering cancer treatment demonstrates the transformative power of innovation.

Michael’s Message My advice would be more directed to the leaders in my industry comprising pharma or biotech companies. For the ones that have not realized, we are entering a new era of therapeutic solutions. Presently, many believe that chemical medicines and biologics are still the ultimate solutions to create new drugs that will solve problems they haven’t solved for decades or centuries.

The reality is that such an approach becomes outdated. The new idea is not to develop drugs, but solutions that require multiple disciplines. As an example, at Starpax, our solution to address cancer has been developed from 4 different scientific disciplines; biochemistry, microbiology, electromagnetism engineering, and artificial intelligence all working together as a solution.

I would even say future therapeutic solution companies will look more like one of today’s tech giants than one of today’s large pharma companies. The new generation of leaders will have to learn and adapt to multidiscipline solutions and get familiar with different scientific environments to perfectly integrate them into one product. This new vision of the future will apply to many industries. Then, the multidisciplinary leaders will survive.

Starpax is in fundraising now in order to raise money for its clinical trials on human.

Ajit loved Math and Computing since his childhood, which propelled him to do his undergraduate in Engineering.

He realized his passion for problemsolving and entrepreneurship during his graduation days, which motivated him to partner with his friend in developing his startup–a robotics and ethical hacking training program.

This experience made Ajit realize the power of data and anticipate the influence of machine learning in the future. He started his career in banking and finance, however, he quickly noticed the social influence healthcare analytics had on improving public health. Ajit observed several successful case studies in health informatics along with advancements in the health industry and EMR adoption. He fulfilled his passion for serving in healthcare through data-enabled decision-making when he was presented with an opportunity at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital.

Special Profile There were lost opportunities for Hospitals to plan and perform surgeries as the COVID surges demanded extra precautions and cancellations.”

Compassionate towards Patient Care Ajit has some distinct qualities that distinguish him from other leaders in the industry. Some of them are creative thinking, compassion for patient care, and experience in solving problems in different industries. He is capable of zooming out and looking at healthcare problems from different lenses. This approach granted him fresh thoughts to solve operational problems.

For example, there was a challenge for nurses to track patient feedback and act on improving the safety protocols for infection prevention. He proposed a unique NLP-based data capture and visualization to aid nursing. This solution provided scalable visual tools and word clouds for the nurses to identify the top reasons and further develop programs to improve the safety protocols. Ajit developed such unique techniques based on the learnings he had during his stint as a Statistician dealing with Text Screening for US Sanctions methodology at CitiBank.

Encouraging Team Members to find Optimal Solutions As an analytical leader, Ajit focuses on identifying the strengths and interests of his team members. He finds innovative projects that closely align with the interests of his team members and pushes them to their creative limits in identifying solutions. 'He believes in out of the box thinking and encourages the team to come up with innovative and optimize using enterprise tools to solve complex healthcare operational problems’ Strategic Adoption of New Technologies From implementing Electronic Media Records (EMRs) to the advent of chatbots and virtual assistants, healthcare has come a long way with the adoption of technology. The complex structure of healthcare in the US warrants exponential costs involving a lot of stress on frontline staff to provide effective care to the patients. As a healthcare leader, 'Ajit proposed strategic adoption of new

technologies to improve the performance and work balance of clinical staff' COVID has exposed the shortcomings of the industry in addition to the substantial cost of hiring travel nurses and coordinators. He recommends a wide variety of tools that focus on improving operational efficiency for the hospital administration, reducing coding errors, and assisting physicians to improve preventative care and outcomes.

Having An Open-Minded Approach To stay abreast with the latest trends and developments in the industry, Ajit participates in business and technical conferences outside of work. Voluntarily, he acts as a subject matter judge at various technology-based events and stays updated with the business world. Ajit was among the top industry professionals in the world selected as a Judge for International Business Awards by STEVIE Awards, 2022. He constantly enrolls and learns new courses in AI and Digital advancements from various MOOCs such as Datacamp, Udemy, and Analytics Vidhya. Recently, he learned a lot about the impact of the ‘AI & ChatGPT for executives,’ a course by Kirill Eremenko at Udemy.

Ajit believes that a successful leader should have an open mind to identify and adopt the best solution. Sometimes, bottlenecks in healthcare operations have a strong pattern in a different industry. For example, a successful operational solution to improve worker performance in manufacturing could provide valuable insights to improving nursing efficiency for patient flow in the hospital. A visionary leader should be able to invest in innovation and have a long-term vision when adopting new methodologies.

Finding the Best Way to identify the Opportunities During the early days in healthcare, Ajit faced challenges in identifying the most impactful solutions for hospitals. He found that the best way to identify opportunities is by shadowing frontline staff in their day-to-day work life. With this approach, he identified opportunities for improvements, eliminated processes that looked redundant, and designed data science solutions that would best serve the front-line staff and improve patient experience. Moreover, he suggests having routine checks with Hospital administration to see if solutions are helping initiatives such as ‘reducing the length of stay’, ‘published research for new operational improvements’, ‘quality and safety of the patients’, and ‘improving staffing needs.’ He believes that these initiatives will help aspiring healthcare leaders stay focused and translate to a successful ROI in healthcare.

Microsoft could be one of the first successful dropout stories I have ever heard of. A Harvard College dropout, Bill Gates, and his childhood friend Paul Allen established the bedrock for Microsoft in 1975, which has become the biggest software company in the world. Have you ever wondered how it reached the position it is in right now? It is well-known for the Windows Operating System Software and Office Application Suites. Although iPhone and Android dominate the market, what makes Microsoft a leader in the tech world?

In a world full of Googles, Apples, and IBMs, Microsoft may seem a little outdated and muddled in the mix. However, the company still stands as a pillar of the software tech world. It came into the picture when very few people were aware of computer technology, and there were limited users of it. A few key points you should be aware of about Microsoft are: Ÿ Microsoft is the world’s largest software maker. Ÿ People have great utility for software. Ÿ It is not just a software maker anymore.

These factors explain the ever-increasing graph of the company’s success.

Strong leadership, consistency in innovation, trust in every employee, etc., contribute to making it a leader in the software world.

The mission and vision statement of every organization decide the direction of development and create a basement for the ideology of the company. Microsoft’s mission is “To empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.” Thereafter, its vision is “To help people and businesses throughout the world realize their full potential.” Its vision and mission have helped the company increase efficiency and productivity.
