Dr. Bishop assumed his present position as CEO, Renal Division of OPKO Health when OPKO Health (NYSE:OPK) acquired Cytochroma Inc. and Proventiv Therapeutics on March 4, 2013. He had served as President & CEO of Cytochroma since June 2006 and Proventiv Therapeutics, a company which he co-founded, since September 2005. Proventiv Therapeutics was acquired by Cytochroma Holdings ULC in June 2006. During the period of September 1987 to June 2005, Dr. Bishop held various senior management positions at Bone Care International, a public specialty pharmaceutical company (NASDAQ: BCII) focused on developing and commercializing vitamin D hormone therapies. Dr. Bishop's positions within Bone Care included President, CEO, Director, Executive Vice President of Research & Development, and Chief Scientific Officer. Under Dr. Bishop's direction, Bone Care advanced a portfolio of proprietary vitamin D hormones and analogs to varying stages of development for the indication of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), metabolic bone disease, psoriasis and cancers of the prostate, breast and colon. Dr. Bishop was responsible for the successful preparation and prosecution of three New Drug Applications (NDAs) that ultimately led to FDA approval of a novel vitamin D drug, named doxercalciferol, for SHPT in dialysis patients (Hectorol 2.5 mcg Capsules and Hectorol Injection) and pre-dialysis patients (Hectorol 0.5 mcg Capsules).
