Our
Founder
Pharmagenesis, Inc. was founded in 1991
through the vision of Mr. Tih-Wu Wang. Mr. Wang, an entrepreneur who
created and built a very successful international communications empire,
believed that the pharmacopoeia of plants used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
or Asian medicines held significant therapeutic potential as modern
pharmaceuticals if the conceptual differences in scientific theory between Asian
and Western medicines could be transcended and become complementary to one
another.
Through studying the information recorded by TCM practitioners over four
millennia and applying a focused, methodical approach to the discovery and
development of potential drug candidates, Pharmagenesis has fulfilled Mr.
Wang’s vision.
