Da Zen Theranostics, Inc. was founded by two professors, Dr. Leland W.K. Chung and Dr. Haiyen E. Zhau, who have devoted their academic careers (over 50 years each) to cancer research. The company was formed with the intention of bringing effective cancer treatment to late stage cancer patients. The husband-and-wife team named their company Da Zen 大 仁 which means ‘great kindness’ in Chinese. Dr. Chung has passed away in May 2021. However, the current management team is carrying on to fulfill his dream to bring his cancer solutions to the world.
