As President of Techenterprises, LLC, I have over 25 years of management and consulting experience in the food, nutrition and pharmaceutical industries, and have served as a Regulatory Officer, or managed regulatory activities for a number of biotech companies. I have personally submitted, or actively participated in the filing of more than ten INDs, and have never had one rejected by the FDA. I am presently managing the IND files for several pharmaceutical companies, and am presently managing two Phase II clinical trial programs. For my medical device clients, I have conducted clinical research and have written 510(k) applications. In the nutritional and food areas, I have written twelve GRAS Notifications and a New Dietary Ingredient Dossier. All documents that were written and submitted to the FDA were accepted.
In addition to my activities with Techenterprises, LLC, I have provided services as a Principal in ABIC International Consultants, and as an Associate of other consulting companies. During these years I have additionally contributed business development, marketing strategy, licensing and acquisition support, new product development and clinical and regulatory services to domestic and foreign multinational companies, as well as start-up ventures. I was recruited to assume interim-CEO positions at Nextech Healthcare (nutrition and biotech), EmphyCorp, Inc (respiratory therapy) and the Avicena Group (nutrition and pharmaceuticals). I am a co-founder of three pharmaceutical companies and two other technical-based companies.
My prior management positions within the pharmaceutical industry, which included drug, device, and clinical nutrition regulatory and clinical management, include that of Department Head of Nutritional Sciences for Syntex Laboratories and Director of Clinical and Pharmaceutical Research for McGaw Laboratories (division of American Hospital Supply Corp). In these positions I was responsible for all new drug and nutritional research and product development, and the preparation of regulatory documents, including INDs. At McGaw I was also a member of the international licensing and acquisitions group.
I received my MS degree in Food Science and my doctoral degree in nutritional physiology from Rutgers University, and did graduate work in business administration at Santa Clara University. I hold several patents and have a number of publications in the pharmaceutical, nutrition, and food fields. On occasion I teach graduate level courses at Chapman University where I am an Adjunct Professor.
Dr. John Finley’s combination of academic, industrial, and government experience in the areas of nutritional food ingredients and consumer product formulations are widely recognized. Expertise includes foods than enhance health and wellness. Dr. Finley’s research interests include low calorie ingredients, anti-inflammatory compounds in the diet and modified lipids.
At Kraft Foods Dr. Finley was in the long-range research and development area where he developed several low-calorie technologies and satiety enhancing products. Dr. Finley also served as the internal biotechnology consultant, dealing with use of biotech crops as well as marketing and regulatory issues.
At Monsanto he was the leader of the food science program which was focused on delivery of intense sweeteners and reduced calorie ingredient development. One of his major roles was in the due diligence for acquisitions
At Nabisco Dr Finley assembled and led the Fundamental Science program which resulted in multiple innovations and technologies to support the Nabisco businesses. In that role he assembled a group of 50 scientists and engineers which for 10 years were at the forefront of food research. Results were cost savings of tens of millions of dollars per year, development and leadership of low calorie fat technology.
Dr Finley has authored over 100 technical publications, edited eleven books and holds over 50 patents. Currently he is an associate editor for the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Dr. Gettys, a nutritional biochemist and physiologist by training, has a broad interest in understanding how organisms respond to changes in dietary composition in real time and engage the appropriate homeostatic responses.
Although it has long been axiomatic that dietary composition has a deterministic role in overall health, Dr. Gettys’ studies have begun to identify the signaling systems that match the specific homeostatic response to the specific change in dietary composition.
His work has established that essential amino acids are the components of dietary protein that are being sensed, and that limiting the dietary content of specific essential amino acids produces a highly beneficial series of physiological responses.
His work is central to an emerging consensus that essential amino acid nutrition provides critical regulatory input to the control of energy balance and the coordination of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in peripheral tissues.
The goal of Dr. Gettys’ work is to translate this knowledge of essential amino acid nutrition into therapeutic diets that limit weight gain, maintain insulin sensitivity, and prevent the development of metabolic disease.
