Mr P.F. Chang B.Eng (Bioengineering), MIET (UK)
Cofounder & CEO
Mr P.F. Chang graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering, Major in Bioengineering with a Minor in Entrepreneurship from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore in 2015. In 2010, his breakthrough innovation in the nurturing of medicinal herbs under controlled-environment was realised in Singapore. This discovery led to the scale-up development for achieving the most potent Cordyceps known in the market with compliance to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) of Singapore’s Safety Standards. The medicinal herb is well-known for its high-value and medicinal potency for over two thousand years.
He went further to successfully developed an Analytical and Quality Control Systems to optimize and quantify the consistency of existing active ingredients from the batches of raw medicinal herbs cultured at the growing facilities located in Northeast China. In 2015, he becomes a qualified Member of the Asia Regulatory Professional Association (ARPA) in Singapore. He has also been awarded Member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (MIET) in the United Kingdom.
Whilst reading for his Bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, he was one of the three undergraduates selected to undergo the prestigious Summer Internship at the Sales & Marketing division of Janssen – Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (J&J). At Nanyang Technological University, he had the opportunity to join the Bioengineered & Applied Nanomaterials Laboratory to undertake drug delivery project pertaining to the investigation of ‘Surface Activity of E2 Protein Nanocages at Liquid-Liquid Interface’.
In 2010, he established PREMIUM HERB INTERNATIONAL PTE LTD to supply authenticated herbal materials for the traditional and modernised TCM and healthcare industries in Singapore. In 2012, he formulated and obtained the necessary approval from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) of Singapore for the first High Active Ingredient Certified-Organic Cordyceps modernised Chinese Proprietary Medicine (CPM) capsule product (Formuliv brand) (HSA Product Listing Number 120686) in Singapore. He is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of DONGMAN AGRO PTE LTD.
Under the tutelage of Professor Patrick H.M. Loh, Mr Chang and the bio-pharmaceutical team have developed an innovative Nutritional Medicine Supplement after 6 years of meticulous R&D studies using a breakthrough technology with a combination of proprietary extraction, purification and patented formulation methodologies which designed to reduce the organ ageing process and associated medical conditions. In March 2015, the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore (HSA) has granted its approval and is commercially available in Singapore. In April 2015, an official Trade Mark has been granted by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS).
In 2018, a novel nutritional medicine developed through the Clinical Studies & Advanced Development (CSAD) programme and the completion of its findings were accepted and published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Complementary Medicine & Alternative Healthcare (JCMAH) in USA.
Together with his cofounder at SINGAPORE LINK SCIENCES PTE LTD, Mr Chang's cumulated experience has laid the foundation for the development of novel healthcare products in Singapore.
