Glen Ko
Modeler, Project Leader, CEO in

Glen has led QSP modeling projects involving gene therapy to treat diseases including Huntington’s disease, Hemophilia, Hereditary Angio Edema (HAE) and Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA). Glen’s recent work has focused on modeling of drug distribution in CNS tissues via different routes of administration including intraparenchymal and intra-CSF injections.

Glen founded RES Group in 2001. He is a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Ph.D.) and University of British Columbia (B.A.Sc.) in Chemical Engineering.
