University of California at Los
Angeles
Pharmanex Phytochemical Laboratory
In November of 1998, Pharmanex announced the seed funding of the
Pharmanex Phytochemical Laboratory at the UCLA Center for Human
Nutrition. This seed investment, along with expertise and guidance from
Pharmanex chemists, led to the center's current funding by the National
Institutes of Health. Built on strengths in chemistry, phytochemistry
and clinical and pharmacological studies on human nutrition, this
partnership was the first of its kind for scientific research in the
dietary supplement industry. The lab focuses on two areas: natural
products research with quantitative finger printing of active components
and nutrients and exploring the nutritional value of these supplements
in relationship to modern health care maintenance. The laboratory is
used to develop new understanding of the health benefits of dietary
supplements based on the most advanced scientific findings available.
The UCLA Center for Human Nutrition is directed by clinical nutrition
expert David M. Heber, M.D., Ph.D. A well-published authority in his
field, Dr. Heber has several books and publications on cardiovascular
health, nutrition and supplementation.Beijing Medical University
Pharmanex has built a clinical research center on the campus available
to students and faculty. The Bioavailability of Ginkgolides in Ginkgo
biloba Extracts. Li C-L, Wong YY. Planta Medica
1997;63:563-565.
Institute of Materia Medica, Beijing
Research institute that has conducted numerous studies on CordyMax. This
institute developed the original Cs-4 strain.
Peking University
Peking University, a key national university of China, consists of six
colleges and 29 departments. While placing stress on basic sciences, the
university also pays special attention to the development of applied
sciences. At present, Peking University has 45 research institutes, 52
research centers, two national engineering research centers, 42 key
national disciplines, and five national key laboratories. Another six
national key laboratories and four state special laboratories are under
construction. The university effectively combines the research of
important scientific issues with the training of personnel who have high
levels of specialized knowledge and professional skills. Striving not
only for simultaneous improvements in teaching and research work, but
also for the promotion of interaction and mutual promotion among various
subjects, the university has become a center for teaching and research.
Its aim is to rank among the world's best universities by the beginning
of the next century.
Fudan University Shanghai Medical College
Pharmanex Shanghai Research & Development Center
Pharmanex has built an R&D center on the campus of this University which
is available to faculty and students. Established in 1994, Pharmanex
Shanghai Research & Development Center is located in modern
state-of-the-art laboratories on the campus of Shanghai Medical
University. Pharmanex's first research and development facility in
China, the center occupies 12,000 square feet of lab and office space
and is staffed with 35 graduate scientists (Masters and Ph.D.s). The
center is responsible for information and intelligence analysis, natural
product chemistry, manufacturing process development, and analytical
science in support of quality assurance. The center is directed by
Professor De-chen Zhang, one of the most prominent medicinal natural
product scientists in China.

Pharmanex Beijing
Association of Research & Development for Medico-Pharmaceutical
Sciences
Pharmanex Beijing Association of Research & Development for
Medico-Pharmaceutical Sciences was established in 1998, in
cooperation with Beijing Association of Research & Development
for Medico-Pharmaceutical Sciences (BARDMPS), an
inter-University, inter-hospital organization staffed with about
20 high-level clinical professors. On a contract basis, BARDMPS
is allowed to use 40 beds in a hospital for routine clinical
use. These beds can be also used for Pharmanex clinical research
projects. The center is responsible for clinical research and is
directed by Dr. Josh Zhu and Professor Wang Baoen, a
world-famous Gastroenterologist/Hepatologist, Dean of the Second
Clinical Faculty, Capital University of Medicine.Pharmanex
Beijing Clinical & Pharmacology Center
The Pharmanex Beijing Clinical & Pharmacology Center is actively
