Dr. William G. Tucker Curriculum Vitae
President
Dr. Tucker completed a three year residency in internal medicine and an additional two years training in haematology and oncology. He then accepted an appointment to the academic teaching faculty in the oncology department of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. At Henry Ford Hospital he was involved in research and drug development supported by a National Cancer Institute grants. He later accepted the Directorship of the Mid-West Oncology Center in Kalamazoo, Mi. The Mid-West Oncology Center became a member of the Southwest Oncology Group of the National Cancer Institute.
As a Principal Investigator for the National Cancer Institute, he was involved in the early phase development of many oncologic pharmaceutical agents and was the first physician in the U.S. to have Ifostamide for developing the clinical use of the drug for the treatment of cancer patients. As a Principal Investigator for Mead Johnson Pharmaceutical, he developed an effective method of administration of Ftorafur. He was Principal Investigator for the Federal Drug Administration and developed a protocol for brain tumors.
In his research laboratory he developed an oral drug delivery system which on first pass bypasses the liver which allowed considerable increase in serum levels for some pharmaceutical agents. This same system was effective in transdermal passage. The patent ran out years ago but this is the system used by the cosmetic companies for topical retinol palmitate.
Recently, he moved to Prince Edward Island in Canada which is a developing research community with a lot of bright young researchers where his present research is in cancer chemotherapies. At present in development is an agent that crosses the blood brain barrier and effectively destroys primary brain tumors in three months. The tumor cell is destroyed in all phases of the cell cycle including G-o.
Another research project Dr. Tucker has developed is an anti- viral agent that crosses the blood brain barrier and prevents the replication of the measles virus in the cerebral spinal fluid which stabilizes the multiple sclerosis patient from further neurologic progression. The anti-viral drug is effective in preventing replication of the Influenza virus "A" (H1N1) and Influenza "B".
