加拿大Angiotech  
AngioTech是加拿大的上市公司，主要業務為制藥和醫療器械，總部在溫哥華，是由幾個著名外科醫生創辦的，也是醫生把技術和專利轉化成產品的成功例子。該公司成立以來，業務增長非常迅速，目前分別在歐洲的丹麥、美國的芝加哥和加州設有分支機構，該公司發明的“血管支架”、“手術縫合針線”等醫療產品技術非常先進，可以說改變了外科手術的潮流，一旦這些新產品上市，該公司的業務將以幾何倍數增長。
Angiotech是比較年輕的特種藥物和醫療設備公司，為醫療器件植入、外科手術干預和急性損傷相關疾病或并發癥提供創新的治療解決方案。

這間加拿大公司成立于1992年，作為共同創始人之一的William Hunter博士（現為CEO）當時還是卑斯大學的醫科學生。Angiotech同各所大學和業界結成戰略聯盟，為其產品的商品化開辟渠道。加拿大政府的國家研究委員會有工業研究協助計劃（NRC-IRAP），對于幫助該公司將科學理念轉化為可應用的治療解決方案也起到重要作用。

最初的開拓性開發項目之一是將紫杉醇這種藥物輸送到疾病部位以抑制血管生成的技術；血管生成會促進腫瘤、關節炎和其它慢性病的發展。紫杉醇經過加工用在TAXUS?冠狀動脈支架中，由Boston Scientific Corporation營銷和分銷，已植入世界各地400多萬病人的體內。

“加拿大政府通過NRC-IRAP等計劃支持私營企業的研究工作，支持我們的創新文化，起到極其重要的作用，”Hunter博士說。

Angiotech [www.angiotech.com] 是加拿大在生命科學界占領先地位的又一個極好的范例。

Angiotech is a global specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company that discovers, develops, and markets innovative technologies and medical products primarily for local diseases or for complications associated with medical device implants, surgical interventions and acute injury. We are listed on both the TSX and NASDAQ stock exchanges (TSX: ANP, NASDAQ: ANPI). The company's initial lead product, the TAXUS? drug-eluting coronary stent - which was co-developed and is now sold by Boston Scientific Corporation - is implanted in over four million patients worldwide.

We develop our products using a proprietary and systematic discovery approach. We use our drug screening capabilities to identify new uses for known pharmaceutical compounds. We look for compounds that address the underlying biological causes of conditions that can occur concurrently with medical device implantation, surgery or acute trauma. Once appropriate drugs have been identified, we formulate the drug, or combination of drugs, with our portfolio of biomaterials and drug delivery technologies to develop a novel drug-eluting medical device or surgical implant.

We have patent protected our technology and many of our products and potential product candidates, and our portfolio of intellectual property developed, licensed or acquired includes over 250 issued U.S. patents and 230 pending U.S. patent applications as of December 2007.

Following the acquisition of American Medical Instruments Holdings, Inc. in 2006, Angiotech expanded beyond its strong R&D capabilities to encompass the manufacturing and marketing of a wide range of single use, specialty medical devices, focused on interventional, surgical and OEM markets. Angiotech is currently working to develop a portfolio of next-generation products including its innovative Quill? SRS, which is a bidirectional, barbed wound-closure device. Today, Angiotech has several specialized direct sales and distribution organizations in the United States and the European Union, as well as significant manufacturing capabilities.

At Angiotech, we are redefining success by striving to create novel medical solutions that elevate the standard of care and improve people's lives.
