James A. Joyce founded Aethlon Medical in May 1998, and presently serves as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. During Mr. Joyce's tenure, Aethlon has evolved the concept of a medical device to treat infectious disease into a reality of treating infected patients in a clinical trial environment. The resulting HemopurifierTM technology is positioned to treat global pandemic issues such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis-C, H5N1 Avian Flu, and pathogens most likely to be weaponized for use in bioterrorism. Mr. Joyce has been an active participant in the emerging biodefense industry. He has testified before Congress on issues related to Project BioShield legislation and the deployment of the Hemopurifier as a countermeasure against biological weapons. His efforts have been instrumental in expanding the definition of treatment countermeasure in Project BioShield legislation to include medical devices. Mr. Joyce recently served on the Project BioShield panel at the Federal Biodefense Research Conference, the Biodefense panel at the 2006 Homeland and Global Security Summit, and was named Co-Chairman of the Bioterrorism/Chemical and Nuclear Security Task Force of the Homeland Security Industries Association. Mr. Joyce actively discusses issues related to infectious disease at various conferences, and has been interviewed in related news stories on CNN, NBC, ABC, the BBC, and other media outlets. From February 1993 until founding Aethlon Medical, Mr. Joyce owned James Joyce & Associates, a senior management advisory organization. Previously, he was founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mission Labs, Inc., was a principal at London Zurich Securities, Inc., and was a member of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. Mr. Joyce is a graduate of the University of Maryland. |
