Dr. Xiao-Chun Xu received a Bachelor with Honors from University of Saskatchewan (Canada), a Ph.D. degree in Immunology from Washington University School of Medicine (US), and an EMBA from Emory University (US). Dr. Xu has over 15 years of experiences in biomedicine and drug development, and extensive business knowledge and managerial experiences in pharmaceutical industry. He has served as Project Manager at Pfizer, Director of Research at two NASDAQ public companies, and Vice President at Found Institute of Biopharmaceutical Research. In 2009, Dr. Xu founded INCOSC (www.incosc.com) and currently serves Chairman & CEO at BoyaLife Group Co.. Through his career, he has successfully managed many projects and has advanced several drug candidates into clinical trials and/or market launch. Dr. Xu has expertise across diverse therapeutic areas including arthritis & inflammation, cardiovascular disease, autoimmunity, oncology, and diabetes. He is involved in the launch of Celebrex which generates a revenue of $4.7 billion in 2004 and Bextra which reached $1.3 billion of sale the second year after launch.
