Physiomics PLC, up 30% at 2.04 pence, 12-month range 0.9p-6.6p. The mathematical modelling company that supports oncology drug development names Peter Sargent as its new chief operating officer. Sargent was previously in a senior management role at Nasdaq-listed Syneos Health Inc, a global consultancy business. Prior to that, he also served as head of Business Development at the UK's National Institute for Health & Care Research. Physiomics says hire is part of its strategy to revert to a "more traditional" board structure, where the roles of executive chair and chief executive officer are separated. As COO, Sargent will help to formulate the firm's business strategy and drive its execution. Will initially focus on key priorities such as expanding and diversifying client base, expanding consulting business into pharmaceutical biostatistics, and exploring opportunities for its personalised oncology software offering. "I am delighted that Physiomics has been able to attract a candidate of the calibre of Dr Peter Sargent, who joins us with significant experience of building service businesses in the biopharmaceutical sector," says Executive Chair & CEO Jim Millen.
