   Dr. Grant founded University Technologies of Texas, Inc  [UTTx] to develop technologies for the marketplace and especially his own passion of products to extend lifespan in humans and develop pharmaceuticals that will prevent and reverse the symptoms of aging.
    He is an Emeritus Professor of Science and Former Director of the University of Texas Arlington Technology Incubator, an organization that strives to assist startup companies in the Arlington area, with special emphasis on technologies originating from science and engineering laboratories. During his tenure  the Incubator grew from 3 companies to over twenty [20+] with two of the three initial companies graduating into a successful businesses. The development of UTA originating technology companies during 2004 was highly significant; the ratio of the number of companies formed to the level of research funding and expenditures UTA ranked #1 among U.S. universities.
From 1998-2003 Dr. Grant was Senior Manager of Research and Technology and Director of Research Compliance at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth.[UNTHSC]. His responsibilities included all aspects of the protection and commercialization of UNTHSC intellectual property.   Under his tutelage the UNTHSC Office of Research acquired equity in 6 start-up new businesses  based upon licenses to UNTHSC  Intellectual Property.  As he has since accomplished at UTA,  during  this period UNTHSC ranked #1 among U.S. universities in intellectual property and technology transfer and conversion into startup companies formed with respect to their level of research funding. Two of these startup companies have become public entities during 2003. Myogen, inc.  Westminister, Colo [MYOG  -Nasdaq]  and Kane Biotech, inc.  Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. [Toronto-KNE].      Dr. Grant is a member of the Kane Biotech, inc. Board of Directors.
 He received his Ph.D. in Cell Biology and Genetics for University of California -San Diego   Melvin Simon, Ph.D. Supervisor.  } where he was a Regents Fellow. Dr. Grant's research interest is Biognosis as it relates to the root molecular cause of aging. In particular, his interest is directed to dysfunctional intracellular signaling and energy metabolism.
Dr. Grant moved to Texas in 1998 from  California, where he had been a biotech consultant, business developer, and private entrepreneur for 20 years. In 1993 as Chief Executive of now Micrologix Biotech, Inc. he guided it through its conversion from a private to publicly traded company. MICROLOGIX BIOTECH-recent name change to MIGENIX, inc.  (TOR:MGI) now one of the larger public biotech companies in Canada.
Prior to entering the industry sector, Dr. Grant was at the Salk Institute as part of the Neuroendocrinology group of Dr. Roger Guillemin, who received the 1977 Nobel prize for the group's research on, and discovery of, the Hypothalamic releasing hormones Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone  {TRH}, Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone. {GnRH] and Somatostatin, Dr. Grant was a Co-Discoverer of Somatostatin, the Hypothalamic Growth Hormone Release Inhibiting Peptide [ SRIF ] that inhibits growth hormone and thyrotropin secretion by the pituitary and insulin and glucagon secretion in the pancreas. Somatostatin was the first commercially genetically engineered peptide [ Genentech  (DNA-NYSE)],], Inc. Dr, Grant's research at Salk primarily concerned structure activity relationships of the hypothalamic peptides,  conducted in collaboration with Dr. Wylie Vale, who is still at the Salk Institute and now a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Grant was [2003] the World's #1 tennis senior doubles player in his age division [ International Tennis Federation ] and a member of the United States Tennis Assoc.  senior tennis team in 2002 and 2003. He has several National senior singles titles to his credit and numerous USTA National senior doubles titles. He was the first person to patent and install a tennis electronic line calling machine on a professional tennis tournament in 1975, a futile effort that only recently has reached a practical dimension.
