e, the Boards of Trustees of Princeton Community Housing Development Corp and Princeton Community Housing, join with the larger community to mourn the death of former Mayor of Princeton Borough, Marvin Reed. A champion of and advocate for affordable housing, enabling, among others, the expansion of PCH’s Princeton senior community Harriet Bryan House, Marvin was a model public servant. The phrase from Otto von Bismarck, “politics is the art of the possible” comes to mind. Marvin Reed’s artful, solutions-oriented approach to government and public service: build consensus around achievable projects that benefit people and continue your efforts to build support for what’s right, despite opposition, helping to broker productive accommodations as circumstances change. Marvin was a longstanding supporter of the idea of local transportation. The Free B, the municipal local Princeton jitney service instituted in 2008 (unfortunately suspended currently) with the support of Princeton University, was an initiative spearheaded by Marvin Reed. Although it had been contemplated that the Free B bus service would be instrumental in providing transportation to local rail commuters to the Princeton Dinky station, it turned out that fewer commuters than anticipated used the Free B service. However, by cutting some of the routes for rail commuters, the town was able to expand neighborhood Free B service, including an increase in the

number of shuttle runs from Elm Court/Harriet Bryan House to the Princeton Senior Resource Center. Indeed it was a godsend for residents of other PCH communities as well. Princeton Community Village resident Debbie Disher attended the ceremony unveiling the new bus named in honor of Marvin Reed, which was contributed to the Town by Princeton University in 2016, in her capacity as a member of the Public Transit Advisory Committee. Disher commented that she rides the Free B shuttle all the time. “It is so dependable and always there,” Disher said. “I come to the library a lot and can get anywhere I need to go in town. It’s great because you don’t have to worry about parking.” We miss Marvin Reed and extend heartfelt condolences to his family. Valerie Haynes PCH Community Board Chair Alice K.

‘Engage’ Takes Center Stage

rinceton University is bringing together entrepreneurs and academics, innovators and investors, under one virtual roof for its inaugural Engage conference. The innovation and entrepreneurship event includes more than 50 live sessions across three days, Wednesday through Friday, November 4 through 6. The conference is free but registration is required at princetonengage2020.eventbrite.com. Once registered attendees receive access to the conference portal, which allows participants to customize their conference agenda and submit questions in advance of sessions. For more information visit innovation.princeton. edu. Among the highlights of the event is a keynote address by Ben Weiss, a Princeton resident and founder of the Bai antioxidant beverage brand. The talk takes place Thursday at 6 p.m. Weiss, a Staten Island native and Boston University graduate, founded Bai from the basement office in his Princeton home in 2009. His inspiration came from a long-time love of and interest in coffee. He realized that

you must outgrow it. You must charge bravely into the world, unafraid of failure. You must find others to run alongside you with shared purpose. You must fight your way out of the basement as you find the edge that will lead you to true success. “But even after you leave the basement, it must always stay with you. You must seize every day with the same hunger and focus you had on Day One. You must never lose sight of your humble beginnings and the tireless work it takes to rise up. You must combine desire with discipline and big dreams with painstaking effort. That’s the essence of Basementality. That basement was not only the place where Bai was born, it was the inspiration for seven-plus years of blood, sweat, tears, and joy. It was the foundation for how I found my edge and became the black sheep of the beverage business.” At the Engage conference, Weiss will be joined in conversation by a new crop of entrepreneurs trying to make a change in the food industry. The Crumpet Society, led by a trio of architecture graduate students, seeks to turn the British staple into a trendy commuter food (U.S. 1, August 5). “Basementality” is available on Amazon. com.

ther sessions run the gamut. At 9:30 a.m. Wednesday is a panel on the Dignity and Debt Network, a program led by Princeton sociology professor Frederick Wherry. The network does research on financial services for low and moderate-income households with three objectives, as stated on its website, www.dignityanddebt.org. 1) “Ask whether a business case can be made for using respect to improve customer experience and to reduce the cost of loan defaults.” 2) “To redesign existing financial services to increase the positive aspects of dignity and respect while also increasing the financial returns of these new designs.” 3) “Change the conversation about credit and debt among those measuring financial access and wellness, such as those writing legislation on credit access and debt, and those providing financial services.”

Robert Prud’homme speaks on his invention, ‘flash nanoprecipitation,’ as he is honored with the inaugural Dean for Research Award for Distinguished Innovation on November 5. A session at 11 a.m. on Wednesday features Krik Macolini, president of Ithaca, New York-based business development consulting firm Intelispark, who discusses how startup companies connect with venture capital sources and other funding partners. At 4:30 p.m. area start-ups get the chance to share their visions with a panel of judges who will hear a series of five-minute pitches in a showcase led by Startup Grind’s Princeton chapter. Thursday includes a series of discussions on various aspects of data science in oncology and immunology with panelists from the Princeton faculty as well as area pharmaceutical firms Bristol-Myers Squibb, Janssen, and Genmab. At noon on Thursday, Robert Prud’homme, a professor of chemical and biological engineering, gives a lecture as the inaugural winner of the Dean for Research Award for Distinguished Innovation.

Prud’homme’s invention, known as flash nanoprecipitation, is a technique in which drugs or other molecules are encapsulated in nanoparticles to improve the treatment and monitoring of certain diseases. At 1 p.m. Thursday a pair of panel discussions address issues with hyperlocal and nationwide implications. One is a presentation on the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, led by neuroscience professor Sam Wang, which uses mathematical and legal arguments to seek fair representation through redistricting reform. Happening simultaneously is a panel titled “Moving Forward: Innovating Urban Mobility.” The discussion will focus on land use and public access in the city of Newark, with an appearance by Newark planning officer Chris Watson. Also on the panel is Marshall Brown, an associate professor of architecture and director of the Princeton Urban Imagination Center (PUIC). Formerly known as the Center for Architecture, Urbanism, and Infrastructure, PUIC states its mission as follows: “Dedicated to the production of exceptional urbanism, PUIC initiates projects that reimagine cities. We use our funding to support innovative teaching, intellectual experiences, and visionary endeavors. We aim to create new policies, plans, books, models, films, exhibitions, and manifestoes to reshape our reality.” Also included in the Engage conference is “Celebrate Princeton Innovation,” a showcase of work by members of the Princeton faculty. The presentations are divided into two Thursday afternoon sessions, with projects from the life sciences at 3:30 p.m. and technology-focused projects at 5 p.m. A few sessions cover environmental concerns. On Thursday at 2 p.m. is “Water Resilience: Protecting Water Systems from Evolving Stressors.” Panelists include professors from Princeton, Rutgers, Kean, Rowan, and NJIT as well as Chris Sturm, managing director for policy and water at NJ Future, and Jennifer Heymann of American Water. On Friday at 11 a.m. is a panel on sea level rise featuring Princeton’s Michael Oppenheimer as well as Benjamin Strauss of Palmer Square-based Climate Central, Rob-

Also on Friday is a “fireside chat” at 1 p.m. on trends in life sciences funding featuring Dora Mitchell, an entrepreneurial life science leader, and David Tukey, a healthcare investor at Point72 Asset Management. And in keeping with the times, a panel Friday at 2 p.m. covers a number of Princetonfunded research projects on topics related to COVID-19. Panelist Natalie Cox, an assistant professor of economics, is a co-author of a study on how the pandemic affected spending and saving across the U.S. income distribution which showed that declines in spending in March and April were due directly to the pandemic rather than the resulting disruptions in the labor market. Kyle Jamieson, an associate professor of computer science, led work to develop a system for using cellphones to facilitate contacttracing efforts. Continued on following page

stitution and as individual professionals, have a long way to go to truly live up to those values. In this moment, our stages and theaters are empty due to the coronavirus pandemic. While this is a deep challenge for our organization in many ways, it also offers a crucial opportunity to reflect on how we as an organization have upheld white supremacy. We must take this moment to engage in the work of changing our culture, systems, and strategic plans to become the anti-racist organization we aspire to be. We know we cannot go back to the old ways of working. We are also in the midst of another major change, as we are a few weeks into new artistic leadership. We feel a great urgency to take action around building an anti-racist culture. We also feel a deep responsibility to listen to BIPOC voices on our staff, reflect on the harm that has occurred in our theater both past and present, attend to that harm, and move forward in an informed and sustainable way. We are holding ourselves responsible to do the work. We desire to be transparent with you and will continue to ask you to hold us responsible as well. At this point, we would like to share the following actions: Our IDEA Committee meets on a weekly basis, now actively participated in by the majority of our staff.

Fundraisers The Princeton Family YMCA is celebrating the season of Thanksgiving with a unique fundraising effort in lieu of its annual Centennial Awards. The goal is to raise $80,000 to support the Y’s many critical programs during the pandemic. The fundraiser and installation builds on the Princeton Family YMCA’s first Project Gratitude, which was launched in April, 2020, to show gratitude for essential workers at the start of the COVID-19 crisis by collecting artwork from youth in the community. As the pandemic continues, the second phase of Project Gratitude focuses on raising critical funds to sustain the Princeton Family YMCA through the coming months. The fundraiser gives donors the opportunity to purchase a sturdy PVC foam core sign in one of four sizes: 9”x9” for $250, 18”x18” for $500, 18”x36” for $1,500, and 36”x26” for $2,500. Each sign can be customized with a design and personalized message to exhibit the donors’ gratitude. The signs will be installed along Paul Robeson Place on the Princeton Family YMCA’s fence in a mosaic format in time for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26, and will be exhibited through February, 2021.

A Fall Outing to a New Jersey Glass Treasure

‘T

he most historic glass is here,” says Alan Borlak. He’s the tour guide at Wheaton Arts in Millville — New Jersey’s historic center for glassmaking — and one of the state’s reopened and socially distanced museums (about 90 minutes by car from the Princeton area). It’s worth a fall weekend day trip — especially since the glass shops help jumpstart holiday shopping. On this particular pre-pandemic day, I am one of several standing at The Museum of American Glass’ first station, the Colonial era, and will be walking through time to the current day. Professorially dressed — jacket, vest, and tie — Borlak is enthusiastic and glancing at his watch as he begins shepherding us through nearly three centuries of American glassmaking contained in the museum’s Victorian-era building. Stopping at a station containing an antique vessel, Borlak says with reverence, “It was made in 1739.” He then reveals that its maker, Casper Wistar, “came from Germany and found South Jersey was rich for glass. But Great Britain forbade manufacturing in New Jersey.” So, adds Borlak, Wistar continued anyway, and since he was friends with Benjamin Franklin, whose son was the last colonial governor, Wistar’s connections were able to keep his activities out of sight and help a fledging enterprise.

by Dan Aubrey

“After the Revolution and the War of 1812, there was a boom of glassmaking in America,” Borlak says, showing rows of early glass and explaining as the viewer’s questions are formulating. The blue light green glass comes from the soil, which his high iron. The clear uses magnesium. As he talks the wall text behind him indicates the importance of the place and enterprise. It’s a quote by American poet Carl Sandburg, “Down in southern New Jersey, they make glass. By day and night,

Southern New Jersey was noted for its glass — a major industry that lasted until the mid-20th century. Wheaton Village maintains that history the museum and active glass artists. the fires burn on in Millville and bid the sand let in the light.” Southern New Jersey was noted for its glass — a major industry that lasted until the mid-20th century. Wheaton Village maintains that history with both the museum and serving as a center for glass artists, who demonstrate glass making techniques throughout the year.

The American Museum of Glass’s galleries illuminate the history of New Jersey glassmaking from the Colonial era to the present. um, he has no family that was involved with glass making. He got interested on his own and became a volunteer docent. His personal interest is evident when he leads the group to a cabinet and points to a jar on the bottom shelf. “That is the first ever basic Mason jar. It was made in Batsto,” a Colonial village in New Jersey that originally produced iron and then glass. Like Wheaton, Batsto is open for visitors. Borlak then moves the group to a few other glassware cabinets and points out some high selling glass in the first half of the 1800s: commemorative flasks. “One of the most popular was Jenny Lind. She was on tour,” he says about the singer known as the “Swedish Nightingale” who came to American in 1850 for a concert tour arranged by showman P.T. Barnum. Another good seller in the 19th century was a “celery vase.” As Borlak explains it, “People of affluence had celery, and if you had celery you had a celery vase and you used it to display your celery.” Nearby are flat-bottom jars, “Pillar bottles,” says Borlak. “For ships and travel, they didn’t fall

wash over the glass and makes the edges gleam orange. “There is a chemical bond that keeps the radioactivity in the glass,” Borlak says as he moves to another unexpected eyeful: the world’s largest blown glass bottle. It was created at Wheaton and is in the Guinness Book of World Records. “It’s actually recreated,” says Borlak. “The original was 108 gallons. It got broken. Glassmakers here decided to recreate it, but made it 188 gallons. It was all mouth blown.”

“And this is the ‘Whimsy’ or ‘End of Day Glass,’” Borlak continues. “Once glass makers made their quota, they were allowed to work on their own projects. They would make gifts for friends or things to sell.” That includes glass objects made to look like flowers, fish, turtles, and even ships. Pointing to several baseballsized globes in a display cabinet, Borlak says “these are Witches Balls. They were very popular during the Victorian period. You hung them on your windows, and they’d capture evil energy.” What about those glass canes? Borlak says glassmakers made them to use in holiday parades. “There was a legend that if you polished your cane every day you’d have good luck.” Another legend said that when a fellow glassmaker died, other glassmakers would break the tip of their canes in their colleague’s grave to show solidarity. “Anybody know what this is?” asks Borlak, pointing to three tiny glass bottles in a case. After a few incorrect tries, Borlak undoes the mystery: “Teardrop bottles for lost love. The Victorians loved it.” When the tour members start chatting about odd items, Borlak says, “We have 24,000 objects in the collection. But only about 6,000 are on display. Now, let’s go into my favorite parts: the paper weights.” He leads us into a section that reflects America’s 18th and 19th century ascendency to an economically powerful nation with a population of means and a desire for beautiful objects — such as the cases filled with gleaming and bright globes used for mundane tasks. The display also reflects the rise of a self-taught group of artisans who were able to create such desired objects that benefited them and the region. “John Ruhlander was the da Vinci of glass,” says Borlak about one artisan’s ability to create complex glass pieces, like a 16-chamber canister. “This was clearly a difficult process,” Borlak says,

whose blemishes could be hidden by adding designs. As glassware became more popular, new techniques, like adding soda lime into the mixture, sped up the process and created a better product. And to satisfy the porcelain market, glassmakers developed milky glass by adding a handy and ready ingredient, bat guano, and additional techniques were developed, such as cut glass, also known as crystal glass. And while business seemed healthy for the time, the enterprise was not. “There was a high mortality among the workers,” says Borlak. “These guys had skill and talent, but they didn’t last.” The culprits were “chemicals, lead, and toxicity.” Then, despite efforts of regional glass companies to compete with world markets and create fine or at-

again with reverence. Borlak says Ruhlander, along with several other Wheaton glassmakers, represent the region’s “American folk artists, who didn’t go to art school.” Instead they began work with the companies when they were 5 or 6 years old, lived the business, and knew the craft. They also created one of the region’s most prestigious products: the Millville Rose paperweight. “They were valuable,” says Borlak of the globes. The cost was $25, “a pricey sum in those days,” says Borlak, who adds that in order to fend off competition, “They would lock the door and work in secret.” The tour then moves to more general glassmaking, such as the development in 1820 of pressed glass, a machine where one individual could pour hot glass and the other could press it in a mold. The result was fast yet imperfect glass

But not the history or the artistry, as Borlak indicates at the final station that connects to the center’s educational program and visiting artists. “They come here and work here. And once they leave, they leave a piece of their art.”

Juno Films and the Art of Connecting in a New Era

‘I

like to make my own decisions, and some of us are built as entrepreneurs,” says Elizabeth Sheldon, founder of the Princetoncentered international film distribution company Juno Films. Sheldon founded the company in 2017 after racking up 20 years of film distribution acumen that led to her place on POV’s list of the “50 Most Powerful People” in the area of documentary film. She made the list for her work with a New York City distribution company working with documentaries. “We had a robust release schedule. I was a go-to person for documentary. So with Juno, we have some documentary. It’s part of our DNA.” Other parts include the distribution of African films, new international films, a series of British films produced in the 1940s and ’50s, educational films, and new feature film releases. The latter includes “Radium Girls” set for the Princeton Garden Theater’s virtual screenings beginning Friday, November 13. According to its website, Juno “specializes in the development and execution of bespoke finance and distribution strategies on behalf of producers and filmmakers.” “Bespoke,” says Sheldon during a recent telephone interview, means tailored-made and indicates an individualized approach. Another signal is the company’s name. “She’s a Roman goddess,” says Sheldon. “The traits of Juno are the ones we have. She’s a warrior, but she is also very nurturing. I think filmmakers need some maternal support. They need someone to take their babies into the world.” But in the warrior mode, Sheldon wants to maximize revenue and audiences and uses what she calls an “invisible mechanism for each successful film.” That includes film festivals, theatrical releases, streaming and TV on demand, partnerships with Netflix and HBO, educational releases, and DVDs. Summing her warm heart and cool head approach, she says she looks for films that are moving and have an ability to touch audiences. Yet, she says, she has to keep alert. “I fall in love with films all the time. I say oh my god it is beautiful. But you can’t allow your passion to cloud your good judgment.” And unlike large Hollywoodcentric distributors that involve investments and commercial ventures, Juno’s income is dependent on distribution services and shared revenues of works by filmmakers whose eyes are more often on the number of reviews and screenings than box office receipts. Accessing the company’s placement, Sheldon says, “We negotiate and interact with partners on all sides, the filmmakers and all of our business partners,” including streaming and broadcast companies. “Radium Girls” is a working example of how Juno functions.

The latest from Juno Films founder Elizabeth Sheldon, right, is ‘Radium Girls,’ above, which the Garden Theater begins streaming on November 13. The film focuses on the real-life situation of a post-World War I young woman working in a New Jersey clock painting company. It focuses on two sisters who realize they are being poisoned by the radium in the paint and go on a quest for medical help and justice. The Hollywood Reporter summed up the film’s impact with, “Despite the stylistic glitches, ‘Radium Girls’ proves engrossing, thanks to its powerful real-life tale and the excellent performances by leads [Joey] King and [Abby] Quinn, who make us fully care about their characters’ fates.” Juno’s involvement with the film reflects several of Sheldon’s interests and criteria. One is telling stories about people who have traditionally been overlooked — especially women. Another is the film’s quest to have universal appeal and the ability to interest women and men of varied races. And third, she says, “It had a story that in itself was told interestingly.” It also had some artistic strength and backing. King, who appeared in “The Kissing Booth” (2018) “The Act,” and Quinn, “Good Girls Get High” and “Landline,” play the sisters. Established television and film producer Lydia Dean Pilcher is one of the producers and co-directs with writer, director, and visual artist Ginny Mohler. Television, film, and stage performer Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner, Tomlin’s collaborator and wife, are executive producers. While Sheldon will sometimes look and attempt to engage a filmmaker, she says the all-female “Radium Girls” production team assembled by Pilcher’s Cine Mosaic Company approached Juno because of the types of films she was representing. First they made an agreement. “Generally speaking, we license the content. There may or may not be a licensing fee, but there may be a revenue share on the backend,” says Sheldon. She then created a release strategy. “We were supposed to release the film in April and had 23 venues,” Sheldon says. The pandemic caused them to re-strategize for a hybrid release using simultaneous physical and digital screenings around the country.

Although the Garden Theater presentation will be virtual, Sheldon reasoned that physical theaters elsewhere would want the film because Hollywood distribution and filmmaking had been stopped by the pandemic. Additionally, she says, a key component for audience development is to involve groups interested in the subject, including environmental, women’s, and justice organizations. The film will then be available to a large audience when it premieres on Netflix in January. Sheldon also adds thoughts on Juno’s interest in producing films. “Generally the filmmakers will

Sheldon looks for films that are moving and have an ability to touch audiences. But, she says, ‘you can’t allow your passion to cloud your good judgement.’ bring an idea to me that has enough development so I can evaluate it. I like to come on board to raise finishing funds.” She also believes “it helps to be involved in an earlier stage.” As an example, she focuses on Juno’s involvement with a new Swedish-produced film, “Tiny Tim: King for a Day.” Its subject is the legendary 1960s singer Tiny Tim. An original and quirky personality best known for playing a ukulele and his quivering voice rendition of the 1920s ditty “Tip Toe Through the Tulips With Me,” he had become highly popular, played Las Vegas, and broke television ratings when he got married on Johnny Carson’s “The Tonight Show.” “I thought Tiny Tim was a fascinating character and they had access to Tiny Tim’s widow and diary. That’s what makes the film interesting. We got to the point in production and we didn’t have a voice for the narrator, and I suggested (Weird) Al Yankovic.” The Robert Ebert review site summed up the choice by saying the documentary’s “master stroke” was having Yankovic provide Tiny

Tim’s interior monologue and slyly making a connection between “Tim” and “Al” — two idiosyncratic performers oblivious to the concept of conformity. “We were involved with the final edit,” says Sheldon, indicating that her involvement reflects a business philosophy that mixes business and art. It is also a sensibility of her study of philosophy. Raised in Oakland, California, where he father taught chemistry at a junior college and her mother was a mortgage banker, Sheldon points to two aspects of her upbringing that influenced her. One was that her father, whom she has called a “trail blazing feminist,” took on the traditionally maternal duties while she was growing up in the 1970s and ’80s. “He brought the groceries, did the cooking, and took me to ballet classes. He also thought that gender made no difference in a person’s potential.” Another was her interest in film. “I grew up in the bay area. From the time I could ride my bike or take a bus, there were art houses, and I went in every weekend to watch films.” Regarding attending the all-female Mills College, she says, “I didn’t go into college knowing what I wanted to major in. I toyed with mathematics, calculus, and comparative literature. “I found the philosophy department was engaging, and the curriculum at that time was history of Western thought. It helped me develop strong analytic skills, logic, and an interest in rhetoric. Many people I meet in the film world are philosophy majors.” After she graduated from Mills, Sheldon was a Fulbright scholar at Humboldt University in Berlin where her reading of philosophy sparked an interest in German literature. She then attended Princeton University, where she received an MA in German studies. “After Princeton, I decided that the pursuit of a PhD would require a time commitment — and I was married and had a child — and it didn’t make sense.” She said her career in film started when she got a job with the Princeton-based Films for the Hu-

manities and Science and was involved with acquisitions and distribution — an activity she calls “the intersection of creativity and business.” Five years later she took a business development job in Philadelphia before being recruited by a startup film distribution company in New York that eventually merged with Kino Lorber. Regarding Princeton as her film headquarters, Sheldon says, “For many years my husband and I worked in New York. We came to Princeton and graduate school, and our son went through the Princeton school system.” Another reason is personal: “I also am a rower and have access to water,” she says about her status as a competitive masters rower and her involvement with Princeton rowing associations. It has also served as a catalyst for philosophical reflection, which shows in her online rowing blog, where she has written, “Proper speed comes not solely from how hard you pull the oar through the water but the rower’s ability to allow the boat to glide underneath the seat without hurry . . .” Although connected to New York, she says she and her husband, Juno partner Alexander Kandaurov, decided to live outside “the metropolitan center of the world” and now reflects on how that center and the film industry has changed. “The epicenter of the film world used to be in New York. The majority of people working in film have left New York. (Some film centers) are no longer there. “I think we‘re going to see some consolidation in the marketplace. We’re going to see less content being produced. The art house cinema world, many are nonprofit, will stay open. But they’ll need content. There will be an opportunity for the independent distributors to meet that demand” — as well as the demands from digital outlets such as Netflix and Amazon. That also includes finding films that people will talk about and “to make sure it connects with audiences.” For more information on Juno Films, visit www.junofilms.com.

because of the proposed delivery station,” Langan principal Daniel D. Disario wrote in his report to the Lawrence Township planning board. The planning board unanimously approved a warehouse at the site two years ago. Construction started in the summer of 2019. The developer, PSIP Metrix Princess Road LLC, built the warehouse on spec. Potential traffic implications of a new warehouse worried residents in the area from the start, particularly concern over noise and diesel exhaust pollution that could accompany increased truck traffic. There are a number of residential developments along Princess Road, near its intersection with Franklin Corner Road. One of the township’s conditions to approving the warehouse was that trucks would not be allowed to access or leave the facility through the residential portion of Princess Road. Langan’s traffic evaluation includes traffic coming and going from Franklin Corner Road, most likely because the vast majority of vehicles using the facility will be delivery vans or employees’ personal vehicles. Neither of those were included in the initial traffic stipulation. Township manager Kevin Nerwinski said in 2019 that the township would consider closing Princess Road off from Franklin Corner Road in order to prevent trucks from the new warehouse from traveling through the neighborhood. The township would then study the impact of the road closure. In this case, the only access to any of the commercial buildings on Princess Road would come from Princeton Pike. This is still being discussed, municipal engineer James Parvesse said, but it’s unclear right now how the Amazon proposal would impact the decision. — Rob Anthes

Clinical Trial Set for OncoSec Product

ncoSec, the Penningtonbased cancer immunotherapy company, is one step closer to determining if its TAVO platform can contribute to a successful vaccination for COVID-19. Together with Providence Cancer Institute, OncoSec has developed a vaccine called CORVax12 which combines the coronavirus spike protein — the piece of the virus molecule that allows it to invade human cells — with interleukin 12 (IL-12), a cytokine protein with the potential to boost the body’s immune response to the vaccine (U.S. 1, June 24). On October 29 the investigational new drug received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to begin a Phase 1 clinical trial. The one-year trial conducted by Providence will recruit up to 36 healthy, adult volunteers for an open-label study in which both the patient and healthcare provider are aware of the treatment being used. Patients will receive two doses, spaced four weeks apart. Some subjects will receive a vaccine based on the spike protein alone, while others will receive the spike protein in combination with IL-12. “CORVax12 leverages TAVO, our clinically established IL-12 platform, and is designed as a nextgeneration vaccine to evaluate whether TAVO can optimize immune responses of existing vaccines and vaccine candidates to address COVID-19,” said Daniel J. O’Connor, president and CEO of OncoSec, in a statement. “Specifically, should the addition of IL-12

to the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein facilitate a coordinated immune response more effectively than the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein alone, this could support the premise that TAVO has the ability to enhance other vaccines currently in development. Additionally, we believe that CORVax12 may also be able to protect those at higher risk for complications from the coronavirus, including cancer, transplant and elderly patients who have compromised immune systems.” OncoSec, 24 North Main Street, Pennington 08534.
