Who We Are
Medikine is led by an accomplished team of industry veterans with decades of experience in pioneering drug discovery technology and the clinical development of immuno-oncology therapeutics.
William J. Dower, PhD, Michael C. Needels, PhD, and Ronald W. Barrett, PhD have collaborated since the 1990’s, which led to their groundbreaking discovery of peptide mimetics of erythropoietin and thrombopoietin at the Affymax Research Institute. Accomplished immuno-oncology drug developer, Joseph Leveque, MD, who has been involved in the clinical development of checkpoint inhibitor, IL-2, IL-10, and IL-15 therapeutics, now leads Medikine in applying this expertise to the clinical development of optimized therapies based on cytokine mimesis.
