11. Commi ed Mission to
Heal and Transform Lives
For me, the trick is
never to lose sight
that helping others is
the primary driver—
not the money.
12. It’s a brave new world of cancer!
You see it everywhere: in the
news, on your social media
feed, and in your friends’
lives. If you’re not careful, you could
become collateral damage—and you
might even miss out on the incredible
advancements that are happening right
now to help treat cancer and make sure
that those who are sick can get the care
they need.
We understand that there are numerous
approaches to the challenge of
improving cancer treatments and
assisting humanity. But one thing is
certain: if we are to effect change and
ensure that people with cancer have
access to better treatments, we must
first ensure that better treatments
become available and that everyone
understands what the right treatments
from the right doctors are.
In order to improve upon the currently
available treatments, Dr. Mark L.
Levitt, MD, Ph.D., established Levitt
Oncology Associates Ltd. to help
advance new treatments in their
development and speed the availability
of such treatments to patients in need.
He is a man of science with a passion
for helping others. He was driven to
make a difference in the world and to
help those with cancer by making sure
that cancer therapy research and
development would advance and
provide new and better treatment
options.
Mark was determined to be a leader in
cancer research and treatments, and he
was inspired by the advances being
made in the medical field. He
dedicated himself to finding ways to
improve the treatments available to
cancer patients and to make sure that
those suffering from the disease could
benefit from the best possible
treatments, as current therapeutic
options leave much to be desired and
also come with a great cost in toxicity
for the patient.
Mark’s hard work and dedication have
made an impact in the fight against
cancer. He has both performed research
and advised numerous companies to
help develop treatments that provide
more effective and compassionate care
for those suffering from cancer.
Mark’s dedication and commitment
have been an example of how a single
person can make a positive difference
in the world and have inspired many
other individuals to continue the fight
against cancer and to make sure those
suffering from the disease can access
the best treatments available, making
him a beacon of hope in the fight
against cancer.
As we illuminate Dr. Levitt’s accom-
plishments and discover how his
ambition is changing lives, let’s
comprehend his remarkable path.
From College Dream to Oncology
Research Leadership: A Journey to
Help Mankind
When asked about his career path and
how his passion for helping people
helped him become a great oncologist,
Mark said, “I decided that I wanted to
be an oncologist when I was still in
college because cancer was the leading
cause of morbidity and mortality
among diseases, and I wanted to
dedicate my life to helping mankind.”
He decided to devote his career to
research in order to create new
treatments for cancer patients after
realizing that the available options—all
chemotherapy at the time—were
insufficient and extremely hazardous.
He completed an MD-PhD program
and an internal medicine residency.
These steps brought him to the NIH,
and a fellowship in medical oncology,
beginning his career as a lung cancer
researcher.
After completing his education, he
obtained a post at the University of
Pittsburgh and continued his research
at Allegheny University as a member
of the first generation of translational
cancer researchers with a foot in the
lab and a foot in the clinic. He rose to
prominence in his field in the US and
later realized a longstanding ambition
by returning his family to Israel after
two millennia in the Diaspora. He
continued his academic career at the
Sheba Medical Center, one of the top
ten hospitals in the world, while also
serving as an adjunct professor at the
University of Pittsburgh for a number
of years.
He started his transition to the industry
during that period with a number of
start-ups, followed by a term at Teva
Pharmaceuticals as the company’s
Head of Oncology in the Global
Business Development division. He
established Levitt Oncology Associ-
ates, Ltd. in 2013 to provide consul-
tancy services for drug development
from target identification to clinical
development. Thus, to realize his aim
of providing cancer patients with
improved medicines, he now aids
numerous businesses engaged in all
facets of cancer drug development.
Leveraging Experience to Advance
Cancer Treatments
In order to support start-ups and small
companies in clinical development,
business development, and strategy,
Levitt Oncology Associates, Ltd. was
established in 2013 using the enormous
experience that Mark had acquired in
Rise to the Challenge of Bringing Better Treatments and Helping Mankind.
13. For the last decade,
Dr. Mark Levitt has been
a driving force in the
pharmaceutical industry,
launching groundbreaking
research projects and
developing new treatments.
14. academic and biopharmaceutic
oncology. However, in a short period
of time, the focus widened to include
preclinical development, target
discovery, NASDAQ-listed companies,
and, occasionally, Big Pharma.
Geographically speaking, his initial
objective was to support the develop-
ment of oncology-focused biotechnol-
ogy in Israel, but Levitt Oncology
currently serves clients all over the
world. The major objective is still to
contribute to the creation of better
cancer treatments.
Since Levitt Oncology’s beginning, he
has served as its owner and CEO and
has taken on nearly all of the projects
himself because most of his clients
specifically request him for the
contract that has been agreed upon.
Transforming Oncology Care
Through Promising Projects -
Taking Risks and Embracing
Change
Mark thinks the secret lies in how to
approach promising projects. He
discovered that in order to advance in
the treatment of disease, one must be
able to see the biology of a disease and
the clinical disease entity as one
coherent process. He learned this as a
first-generation translational oncology
physician. The “facts” of today
shouldn’t be taken too seriously,
though, because many of them will be
replaced by new “facts” tomorrow.
As science advances and is able to
delve deeper into the biology of
disease, new understandings will
enable the creation of new and
improved therapies. Of course, in order
to benefit from fresh information, one
needs to maintain an open mind and be
willing to examine ideas that are not
necessarily popular right now.
The ability to be contrarian and take
big risks is frequently required for
identifying and developing potentially
disruptive technology. Science
advances through quantum leaps, with
less creative research filling in the finer
details between each leap. He believes
that Levitt Oncology is well-positioned
to take advantage of this philosophy,
given his background, which includes
substantial experience working as an
oncologist and cancer researcher in
university and biopharma settings.
Moreover, the ability to constantly
reinvent oneself and one’s business is
essential for remaining at the forefront
of innovation.
Navigating the Oncology Landscape
with Cutting-edge Technology
Navigating the oncology landscape can
be a complex and daunting task. With
the help of cutting-edge technology,
oncologists can stay ahead of the curve
and stay informed about the latest
treatments, therapies and clinical trials.
From cloud computing and telecom-
munication platforms to advanced
databases, oncologists can make use of
the latest advancements in technology
to stay up to date on the most effective
treatments and to give their patients the
best care possible.
By leveraging the most innovative and
cutting-edge technologies, one can stay
ahead of the curve and make sure to
have the best chance of developing
successful, life-saving treatments for
patients. Mark says, “The trick is not
having the trendiest technology but
getting involved with companies that
are working on novel technologies of
the future, forcing me out of my
comfort zone and keeping my skills at
the cutting edge.”
Unraveling the Complexities of
Biotech/ Biopharma
The biotech/biopharma sector is quite
intriguing. Development takes years,
and the results are far less guaranteed
than with high-tech. In order to
succeed in this field, several challeng-
ing issues must be resolved. For
instance, corporate executives and
scientists/clinicians may have different
perspectives on the company’s
objectives and frequently don’t fully
comprehend one another (even if they
think they do). Even worse are
instances in which business people
mistakenly believe themselves to be
scientists or vice versa.
A person with exceptional talent in
both fields is uncommon. Although
there are numerous aspects that
influence success, not all of them are
within one’s control. He is always
surprised to find the attitude that a
well-run business is first priority, ahead
of science. While it is true that an
administratively and financially sound
company is crucial to the success of a
product, it is even more crucial that the
research is sound, supports the
product’s disruptive potential, and is
emphasized throughout the drug’s
development. While a product with
solid scientific backing can succeed
even under inadequate corporate
management, even the best administra-
tion cannot overcome a product that
does not work.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic, in his
opinion, was instructive because a
large portion of the governmental
leadership followed their preconceived
notions of what would work, and as a
result, they have few drugs that are
actually very effective despite
enormous efforts and hundreds of
billions of dollars invested. He calls
this phenomenon the “Lemming
effect,” inferring people would rather
fail conventionally than take chances
going against conventional wisdom to
succeed simply because it is safer to
follow the crowd from a career
perspective. He stated that following
the herd never results in a quantum
leap forward. This means exploiting
15. strong and novel science with rigorous
scientific discipline to bring true
improvements in the treatment of
disease.
Balancing Idealism and Realities of
Business for a Higher Purpose
The biotech and biopharma space is
constantly in a state of flux, evolving
faster than a speeding bullet. Keeping
up with the latest technologies and
science can be a daunting task, but it’s
not the only challenge. The varied
needs of clients also pose a problem, as
the requirements of the job are ever-
changing, and the expectations are
constantly rising. This has forced him
to stay on his toes, always looking for
the next big opportunity and continu-
ally re-inventing his career. He says,
“It’s a thrilling but challenging ride,
but ultimately, it’s a journey I wouldn’t
trade for anything else.”
Juggling the complex needs of biotech
and biopharma clients while staying
true to his idealism has been a constant
challenge for Dr. Mark Levitt. Working
in a rapidly evolving field and striving
to find a balance between the financial
bottom line and serving as a force for
good has been no small feat. But as he
has come to a realization, the drive to
cure those diseases with the direst
consequences can also be a source of
financial reward for investors and
companies. Throughout years of
pushing himself out of his comfort
zone and re-inventing his career, he has
remained determined to stay focused
on helping others—no matter the cost.
He says, “For me, the trick is never to
lose sight that helping others is the
primary driver—not the money.” In
recent years, we have seen in oncology
that those new therapies that offer the
most benefit to patients are the ones
that become mega-blockbusters,
substantiating the philosophy that
helping others by developing better
treatments is, in the end, a win-win for
all of the stakeholders.
Revolutionizing Oncology Care
For the last decade, Dr. Mark Levitt
has been a driving force in the
pharmaceutical industry, launching
groundbreaking research projects and
developing new treatments. Now, he’s
looking ahead, establishing a fund to
support early-stage oncology projects
that may be high-risk but could lead to
disruptive technology. His clients
range from the United States to Israel,
Australia, and beyond. He’s on an
ambitious mission to change the field
of oncology. With these cutting-edge
investments, he hopes to bring the
therapies of the future to those in need
while also propelling further progress
in the fight against cancer.

21. What motivated you to pursue a career in the healthcare
industry?
Following two decades of occupying strategic leadership
roles in Marketing, Go-to-Market strategies, and Digital
Transformation within consumer-centric industries such as
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Telecommunications,
and Retail Fashion, I found myself embarking on an
unpredictable journey, profoundly impacted by the Covid-
19 pandemic. The global health crisis illuminated the need
for a paradigm shift in how we perceive health and
wellness, underscoring their importance and shaping them
as top priorities for every individual.
While scrutinizing the healthcare sector, I observed that its
modus operandi has traditionally been clinically driven - its
primary objective being to restore health to ailing patients
rather than espousing a holistic approach to health and
wellness. Moreover, in the spectrum of digital transformation,
the healthcare industry has been lagging in comparison to
its consumer-facing counterparts. A comparative lack of
emphasis on digital progression, paired with a lower
investment quotient for enhancing digital consumer
experiences, was quite evident.
Perceiving these elements, I identified a significant
opportunity for growth and change. I recognized that the
industry was at a critical juncture where it was ready to
transition from a predominantly clinical focus to a more
holistic wellness model, necessitating the application of
modern marketing strategies and digital transformation
methodologies. Therein, I found my inspiration to venture
into the healthcare sector. The prospect of leveraging my
expansive experience to drive this pivotal transformation in
an industry so crucial to the well-being of mankind is a
challenge that I am both excited about and prepared to
undertake.
Currently,As the Head of Marketing, Brand & Communication
in the GCC, I lead a 45-member team at Aster Hospitals,
Clinics, Retail & Digital Health for the Marketing programs
and demand growth across the Business Units.
How have you rekindled focus around patient care in
your organization?
With the expansion of an organization, it is not uncommon
to observe a growing emphasis on procedural efficiency and
operational standardization, which may inadvertently cause
a decline in patient-centered care. However, at Aster, we
take immense pride in our commitment to ensure that our
customers, and in particular our patients, are at the core of
our operations.
We have undertaken a series of strategic initiatives to
rekindle and augment the focus on patient care. One of
these involved empowering our Customer Care and Service
Excellence personnel with the authority and encouragement
to go beyond the routine procedures to delight our customers.
This was achieved through comprehensive internal
capability-building exercises. These exercises led to the
institution of internal reward and recognition programs
designed to cultivate and motivate the staff to consistently
prioritize patient care, thereby ensuring an organizational
culture that puts patients first.
Simultaneously, we embarked on an extensive brand-
building campaign under the powerful and resonating
slogan, “Care is just an Aster Away.” This campaign was
aimed at reassuring our patients of our unwavering commitment
to their care while also showcasing our expansive healthcare
network across the UAE. Our campaign activations spanned
various media platforms such as Out-of-Home advertising
(OOH), transportation, print, digital, Below-the-Line (BTL)
advertising, and various events.
A hallmark of this campaign was leveraging the occasion of
Aster’s 35th Anniversary to project our message of care
onto the façade of the iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s
tallest building. This event not only significantly enhanced
our brand visibility and saliency but also instilled a strong
sense of pride within our organization, renewing our
collective commitment to living up to this promise of
ensuring that “Care is just an Aster Away.”
In essence, by creating an organizational culture that values
patient care above all and projecting this commitment
through our strategic brand-building campaign, we have
reinvigorated our focus on patient care within the Aster
organization.

Twitnessing a remarkable transformation
in recent years, driven by cutting-edge
innovations and breakthrough technologies.
These advancements are revolutionizing the
way healthcare is delivered, improving patient
outcomes, and enhancing the efficiency of
medical practices. From AI-driven diagnostics
to personalized medicine, the healthcare
landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift that
holds promise for a healthier and more
sustainable future.
The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in
Diagnostics
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a
game-changer in healthcare diagnostics. AI
algorithms, fueled by extensive data sets and
machine learning, are enabling faster and more
accurate diagnosis of diseases. For instance, AI-
powered image analysis is enhancing the
accuracy of medical imaging interpretations.

24. Radiologists and pathologists are now aided by algorithms
that can detect subtle anomalies that might be missed by
human eyes alone. This not only expedites the diagnostic
process but also reduces the chances of misdiagnosis.
Personalized Medicine and Genomics
The field of genomics has paved the way for personalized
medicine, tailoring treatment plans to an individual's
genetic makeup. The ability to sequence an individual's
genome has led to more precise diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention strategies. With genomic insights, doctors can
predict a patient's susceptibility to certain diseases, identify
the most effective medications, and develop targeted
therapies. This approach not only improves patient
outcomes but also minimizes adverse drug reactions,
ultimately leading to a more efficient healthcare system.
Telemedicine and Remote Patient Monitoring
Telemedicine has transcended geographical barriers,
enabling patients to access medical expertise regardless of
their location. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated
the adoption of telemedicine, allowing patients to consult
healthcare professionals virtually. Beyond consultations,
remote patient monitoring devices are now capable of
continuously tracking vital signs and health metrics. This
real-time data empowers physicians to intervene proactively
and make informed decisions, reducing hospital
readmissions and improving chronic disease management.
Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery
Robotic technology has revolutionized surgical procedures,
making them less invasive and more precise. Robotic-
assisted surgeries offer surgeons enhanced visualization,
greater dexterity, and the ability to perform complex
procedures through smaller incisions. This translates to
reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery
times for patients. As robotic systems continue to evolve,
the boundaries of what is possible in the operating room are
expanding, paving the way for even more intricate and
delicate procedures.
Blockchain for Data Security and Interoperability
Blockchain technology is addressing two critical challenges
in healthcare: data security and interoperability.
Blockchain's decentralized and tamper-resistant nature
ensures the privacy and integrity of patient data,
safeguarding it from breaches. Moreover, it enables secure
sharing of medical records across different healthcare
providers. This interoperability enhances the continuum of
care by giving healthcare professionals access to
comprehensive patient histories, resulting in better-
informed decisions and coordinated treatments.
3D Printing in Medical Applications
The applications of 3D printing in healthcare are as diverse
as they are revolutionary. Customized implants, prosthetics,
and anatomical models can now be fabricated with
remarkable precision using 3D printing technology.
Surgeons can use these models to plan complex surgeries
and practice intricate procedures before entering the
operating room. In addition, 3D-printed organs and tissues
are being explored as a solution to the organ transplant
shortage, potentially revolutionizing the field of
regenerative medicine.

25. Nanomedicine and Targeted Drug Delivery
Nanotechnology is unlocking new possibilities in drug
delivery and treatment strategies. Nanoparticles can be
engineered to carry medications directly to specific cells or
tissues, minimizing side effects and maximizing therapeutic
impact. This targeted drug delivery approach improves drug
efficacy while reducing the dosage required. Nanomedicine
is particularly promising in cancer treatment, where it
allows for the precision delivery of chemotherapy agents to
