Advanced Oncotherapy (AIM: AVO) is pleased to announce the appointment of Sanjeev Pandya as acting Chief Operating Officer, with immediate effect, to replace Dr Sneh Khemka who has left the Board and the Company to pursue his career elsewhere.

 

Sanjeev Pandya trained and practised as an orthopaedic surgeon in the NHS in the UK and in developing countries before working as a strategy consultant with McKinsey & Company.

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Christopher Nutting as a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect. Professor Nutting will also join the Company's Medical Advisory Board, chaired by Dr Nick Plowman, Senior Clinical Oncologist to St Bartholomew's Hospital and The Hospital for Sick Children Great Ormond Street, London.

 

Professor Nutting replaces Professor Chris Boshoff who has resigned as a Non-Executive Director in order to take up an appointment as Vice President for Translational Oncology at Pfizer, Inc., a position based in La Jolla, San Diego, California.

 

Professor Nutting is Consultant Clinical Oncologist and Chair in Radiation Oncology at the Royal Marsden Hospital, and The Institute of Cancer Research London. He is the Past President of the British Oncological Association. He is a world leading oncologist specialising in the management of cancer of the head and neck, thyroid, thorax and other forms. Professor Nutting is an expert in solid cancer treatment with state of the art radiotherapy techniques designed to reduce complications of treatment and improve cure rates.

 

There are no disclosures to be made regarding Professor Nutting's appointment under paragraph (g) of Schedule 2 of the AIM Rules.

 

Advanced Oncotherapy's Chairman, Lord Evans of Watford, said, "I am delighted to welcome Professor Chris Nutting to the Board. His background and current daily experience of radiotherapy treatment qualify him as an ideal team member to help us develop and launch our game changing cancer treatment technology. I am also delighted that Sanjeev has agreed to join us and am sure that his energy and commercial experience will add great value to the executive team. Finally, I thank Chris Boshoff and Sneh Khemka for their contribution to date and wish them well in their new roles."

 

Commenting on his appointment, Professor Nutting said, "I believe that practitioners around the world will be as excited as I am about Advanced Oncotherapy's technology which is set to deliver better outcomes to more cancer patients."
