Dr Moses is a serial entrepreneur and value creator with more than 30 years of board-level experience across more than 20 life sciences companies. As CEO, he built Oxford Asymmetry International plc and Ablynx NV, raising over $500 million in equity and debt financing and leading successful IPOs on the London Stock Exchange, EuroNext and NASDAQ. He was responsible for the sale of both companies, generating values of £316 million and $4.8 billion respectively.
Most recently, Dr Moses served as Chair of Dark Blue Therapeutics, an Oxford-based oncology biotech which was acquired by Amgen in a deal valued at up to $840 million.
Peter Joyce, CEO & Co-founder of ÃÛÌÒTV Therapeutics, said:
"Edwin joins at a pivotal moment for our clinical programs as we head toward the next stage of our growth. His extraordinary track record of building and financing world-class biotech companies, combined with his deep expertise in drug discovery and development, makes him a great addition to our Board and company. We are delighted to welcome him as Chair and look forward to benefiting from his leadership and counsel.
“We also recognize Tom McCarthy’s outstanding contribution as Chair. His guidance, and commitment to executive functions since we co-founded the company has been instrumental to our success, and we are very pleased he will continue as a Non-Executive Director."
Dr Edwin Moses, Chair at ÃÛÌÒTV Therapeutics, said:
"The science is compelling, the team is very talented, and the pipeline has genuine potential to make a meaningful difference for patients.
