PolyTherics Limited has announced that Dr Anker Lundemose and Nigel Pitchford have joined its Board.

Dr Lundemose is co-founder of several companies including Symphogen A/S and Santaris A/S and was co-founder and CEO of Prosidion Ltd, a UK subsidiary of OSI Pharmaceuticals Inc. He is also a former managing director of OSI’s venture capital arm.

Dr Lundemose is medically qualified and has a PhD in molecular biology. He started his industry career in research with Novo Nordisk before moving into business development and has an international reputation in R&D productivity and for executing high profile licensing and M&A deals.
