David Ho obtained his Master of Pharmacy degree from the University of Otago, New Zealand in 1976. From 1978 to 1979, he was a Research Pharmacist in the R&D laboratory of Wyeth Laboratories Ltd, United Kingdom.
With his extensive experience in the pharmaceutical field, David founded and incorporated Hovid Berhad in 1980, leading its transformation from a herbal tea company to a leading pharmaceutical company in Malaysia. Hovid manufactures more than 400 pharmaceutical products. Many of these are marketed to about 50 countries.
Under his leadership, Hovid achieved numerous pioneering initiatives, including being the first in Malaysia and the world to extract valuable carotenoids and tocotrienols from palm oil on a commercial scale. Hovid also pioneered the development of the self-emulsifying “SupraBioTM system” for enhanced absorption of tocotrienols in the human body and targeted delivery to vital organs such as the human brain.
Tocotrienol SupraBio is now undergoing USFDA Phase II trial for orphan disease of brain and end stage liver disease in the EU and USA.
