Providing Scientific Guidance Since 1976

Dr. Arthur Furst, Founding Member Emeritus 1914-2005 Ph.D., Sc.D., D-A.T.S., Toxicologist, Pharmacologist

The NeoLife Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) was founded in 1976 by Dr. Arthur Furst. Dr. Furst was an internationally renowned pioneer in toxicology and cancer research who founded the Stanford Cancer Chemotherapy Laboratory. Many of his discoveries led to groundbreaking NeoLife products, and his enormous talent, energy, dedication and vision are major reasons why, year after year, at NeoLife we have delivered such leading-edge products to fulfill genuine human needs.
