For the past 25 years, Dr. Guillem has managed Quality, Regulatory Compliance, Product Development, Regulatory Affairs, Control and Development laboratories, and many other operational activities in several pharmaceutical companies. He has held senior positions in both large and start up pharmaceutical companies such as Wyeth, Boeringher Ingelheim, Medeva Americas and Adams Laboratories.

"I had already completed my due diligence on Ash Access and its promising products, at the time I became an investor," explained Dr. Guillem. “As I worked the last year and a half with the executives and development team in my role as a consultant, I was impressed with the quality, focus, and efficiency of the team. I believe we are in a great position to bring tremendous medical breakthroughs to the market, and I am pleased to be on such a high caliber team that’s working well together to make it happen.”

“We are very pleased to have Dr. Guillem formally join our executive team at Ash Access.

A large-scale clinical trial, made possible in a large part by a generous two million dollar grant from the Indiana 21st Century Research and Technology Fund (see release for details) and a $2.7M SBIR Fast-Track Grant from the NIH NIDDK, is currently underway evaluating the efficacy and safety of Zuragen™ in hemodialysis patients.
