I am honoured and excited to be joining Race at such a critical time in the Company’s evolution given the huge potential of Bisantrene as both a targeted precision oncology drug and a differentiated chemotherapeutic. I look forward to applying my experience and expertise to help Race successfully realise the objectives of its three-pillar strategy. And I am pleased to have a new opportunity to again work with Professor Borje Anderson after our successful prior collaboration on Busulfex.
