Celebrating 30 Years of Impact

Anniversary edition

Hello there, 

Celebrating 30 Years of Impact + Join Us This #GivingTuesday

This year marks a monumental milestone for the Angiogenesis Foundation - 30 years of advancing health through innovation and discovery. Since 1994, we have been dedicated to transforming global health and empowering lives through research. 

Our journey began with Dr. William Li, inspired by his mentor Dr. Judah Folkman, the Harvard surgeon who pioneered the field of tumor angiogenesis. Together, we have achieved extraordinary milestones that have shaped modern medicine, including:

  • 47 FDA-approved treatments, such as:

    • Regranex, a topical growth factor for wound healing

    • Avastin, a cancer-starving infusion

    • Lucentis, the first-ever treatment for age-related macular degeneration

  • Developing therapies using sound wave technology to stimulate angiogenesis and stem cell recruitment for regenerative healing.

  • Bringing our knowledge to veterinary medicine with innovations like the Navy Protocol, which inspired Palladia, the first FDA-approved canine cancer therapy.

Food as Medicine: Shaping Health Through Diet

Our work goes beyond medical treatments to focus on prevention and nutrition through the “Food as Medicine” initiative. Over the past decade, the Angiogenesis Foundation has discovered and gathered evidence that fruits, vegetables, herbs, seafood, tea, coffee, and even chocolate contain natural substances — bioactives — that can prevent and intercept disease by influencing angiogenesis and other defense systems in the body. What we eat and drink is enormously impactful when it comes to preventing disease.
