We are honored to welcome Dr. James Muller, renowned cardiologist and one of three co-founders of an organization that won the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize, to our Board of Directors. His bio follows:
James E. Muller, M.D., was one of three American Co-founders of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) the organization awarded the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize.
Dr. Muller currently serves as CEO of InfraReDx, Inc, a company that has developed a near-infrared spectroscopy catheter for the identification of lipid-rich and presumably vulnerable coronary artery plaques.
Dr. Muller formerly served as a Professor of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School where he conducted research for over 25 years on the causes of heart attacks. In 1994, he introduced the term "vulnerable plaque" to describe those plaques likely to disrupt and cause disease onset. He co-founded InfraReDx in 1998 after a detailed search to find the optimal technology to identify lipid-rich coronary artery plaques.
