Following the footsteps of our founder
Dr. Dr. Herbert Falk founded our company in 1960. When he passed away, his granddaughter Elena was still quite young and therefore she never really met him. And because she wanted to know what kind of person he was and what people connected with him – especially regarding the company he created - she decided to follow her grandpa's footsteps:
Elena in the UK
After Switzerland and Freiburg, the next stop for Elena was the UK. She started off in Scotland and was then in the Dr. Falk Pharma office near London. And again, she met many people who told her about Falk and her grandpa.
Elena and Collette Thain, MBE
She's the founder of the PBC Foundation and told Elena about the partnership with Falk and also what it's like to live with PBC.
Elena arrives in London
In the UK office, Elena not only showed off her cleaning skills but was also surprised to learn how alike her mom and grandma are.
Elena and Prof David Jones
He explained why bile acids are at the heart of everything and told Elena how he perceived her grandfather.
