Per Wikström, CEO, PhD and one of the founders of Glucox Biotech AB.
Per Wikström has many years of research experience in the pharmaceutical industry and smaller biotech. The first years in the carrier at the successful biotech Immunex in Seattle then at Pharmacia and Pfizer. At the start to discover and develop cytokine/cytokine receptors and then in the field of metabolic disorders and projects related to insulin resistance and diabetes. Now with a significant experience regarding small non-peptide as well as protein pharmaceuticals to be developed into drug candidates. I have as a principle to be optimistic but never hype any results – this will damage the company more than aid for success. Instead the results should speak for itself.
