Notes

Phyllis I. Gardner (born July 7, 1950) is a Professor of Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and former Dean of Education. Gardner was one of the first people to be publicly skeptical of Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of blood testing company Theranos, who was later found guilty of investor fraud. [1] [6] [7]

Early life and education

Gardner completed her bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois, where she specialized in biology. [5] She studied at Harvard Medical School and graduated in 1976. [5] [8] [9] She has held a license to practice medicine in California since 1979. [8] She completed research fellowships at Columbia University and University College London. [5] [10] She was a postdoctoral fellow at University College London in 1982. [11] Gardner trained in internal medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital. [5] She was a Chief Resident at the Stanford School of Medicine. [12] In 2002 Gardner argued against a merger of University College London and Imperial College London. [13] Gardner is married to Andrew Perlman. [1] [2] Perlman is an executive within the biotechnology sector in the United States. [1] [2] He briefly served on an advisory board for Theranos for a few months before the panel was shut down. [2] Perlman learned that Theranos was a significant buyer of laboratory diagnostic testing equipment from the company Siemens. [14] [15]

Career

Academic research

Gardner joined Stanford University in 1984. [7] [16] Her initial role upon hiring in 1984 was as assistant professor of medicine and pharmacology. [16] Gardner works on cardiac arrhythmias and cystic fibrosis pathogenesis. [5] [17] [18] Gardner was appointed Senior Associate Dean for Education and Student Affairs at Stanford University. [19] [10] She is a Professor of Clinical Pharmacology. [20] [21] She led a laboratory that focused on ion channel biophysics. [22] In 2003, Gardner testified to the United States House of Representatives on the subject matter of applications of biotechnology research in the United States. [23] Gardner's medical and scientific research has been published in multiple peer-reviewed scientific journals including Nature , Science , and The Lancet . [24] [25] [26]

Entrepreneurship

After spending ten years in academia, Gardner became interested in research and development and entrepreneurship. [22] She mentored women interested in pursuit of the field of science. [27] She gained experience within the of companies seeking out venture capital funding. [27] She developed several forms of slow released medication, including an adaptation for retention in the stomach. [28] [29] Gardner has been involved with several start-ups in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. [13] From 1996 to 1998 Gardner served as Vice President of Research and Head of the Technology Institute at the Alza Corporation. [10] Gardner served as Director of the biopharmaceutical company Revance Therapeutics from 2007 to 2018. [30] She is an adjunct partner at Essex Woodlands Health Ventures. [31] She founded several companies, including the Genomics Collaborative, SKOLAR and the CambriaTech Holding Co. [32] She was appointed to the Board Of Directors of Ventaira Pharmaceuticals in 2006. [32] Gardner serves on the Board of Fellows of the Harvard Medical School. [33] She was appointed to the Board of Directors of CohBar, a clinical stage biotechnology company, in 2019. [5]

In 2002, Elizabeth Holmes visited Gardner at Stanford University. [27] [7] [34] Holmes proposed her idea for a microfluidic device that could detect and treat infectious diseases. [27] [7] [34] Gardner was critical of the proposal, and told Holmes she did not think her invention would be successful. [35] [36] [37] She explained to Holmes that it is not possible to use antibiotics on such a small scale. [7] [38] [39] Holmes dropped out of Stanford a few months later, but Gardner followed the evolution of Theranos. [38] Very briefly, both Gardner and Holmes served on the Harvard Medical School Board of Fellows after Holmes was given an invitation to join. [1] Gardner did not permit Holmes to visit the Stanford campus and called for her to be sent to prison. [40] [27] Holmes was ultimately found guilty of criminal fraud, in the federal case, United States v. Elizabeth A. Holmes, et al. which was brought by the United States against her and Theranos former president and COO Sunny Balwani. [7] [1] [6]

In media

The Wall Street Journal investigative journalist John Carreyrou delved into the manner in which Elizabeth Holmes failed to convince Gardner to involve herself in her company Theranos; he recounted this in-depth in his 2018 book, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup . [41] [42] [43] This relationship was investigated further in the 2019 Alex Gibney documentary, The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley . [44] [45] [46] Rebecca Jarvis delved into the early background between Gardner and Holmes, in her 2019 podcast about Theranos, The Dropout . [47] [48] [49] In the 2022 American biographical television drama miniseries The Dropout , based on the Jarvis podcast of the same name, Gardner appeared as a character in the show. [50] [51] Gardner was portrayed by Emmy Award-winning actress Laurie Metcalf in the Hulu series about the rise and fall of Theranos and its founder and CEO. [52] [53] [54]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cystic fibrosis</span> Medical condition

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner that impairs the normal clearance of mucus from the lungs, which facilitates the colonization and infection of the lungs by bacteria, notably Staphylococcus aureus. CF is a rare genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. The hallmark feature of CF is the accumulation of thick mucus in different organs. Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections. Other signs and symptoms may include sinus infections, poor growth, fatty stool, clubbing of the fingers and toes, and infertility in most males. Different people may have different degrees of symptoms.

Theranos Inc. was an American privately held corporation that was touted as a breakthrough health technology company. Founded in 2003 by then 19-year-old Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos raised more than US$700 million from venture capitalists and private investors, resulting in a $10 billion valuation at its peak in 2013 and 2014. The company claimed that it had devised blood tests that required very small amounts of blood and that could be performed rapidly and accurately, all using compact automated devices that the company had developed. These claims were proven to be false.

Chloride channel openers refer to a specific category of drugs designed to modulate chloride channels in the human body. Chloride channels are anion-selective channels which are involved in a wide variety of physiological functions and processes such as the regulation of neuroexcitation, transepithelial salt transport, and smooth muscle contraction. Due to their distribution throughout the body, diversity, functionality, and associated pathology, chloride channels represent an ideal target for the development of channel modulating drugs such as chloride channel openers.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cystic fibrosis and race</span>

Underrepresented populations, especially black and hispanic populations with cystic fibrosis are often not successfully diagnosed. This is in part due to the minimal dissemination of existing data on patients from these underrepresented groups. While white populations do appear to experience a higher frequency of cystic fibrosis, other ethnicities are also affected and not always by the same biological mechanisms. Thus, many healthcare and treatment options are less reliable or unavailable to underrepresented populations. This issue affects the level at which public health needs are being met across the world.
