Oncimmune Holdings plc (AIM: ONC.L), a leading early cancer detection company developing and commercialising its proprietary EarlyCDT® platform technology, announces the appointment of Carsten Schroeder to the Company's Board as Non-Executive Director.

 

Carsten has over 20 years of senior leadership experience in the medical diagnostics sector.

His successful track record of launching new products globally will be invaluable to Oncimmune as we continue to expand across the US, Europe and into Asia."

Commenting on his appointment, Carsten Schroeder said: "Oncimmune's EarlyCDT® platform technology, which can detect cancer up to four years earlier than other methods, could transform current methods of cancer detection and save the lives of patients. The opportunity to join the Board of Oncimmune was extremely appealing and I look forward to working with Geoffrey and the team."

About Oncimmune

Oncimmune is a leading early cancer detection company developing and commercialising its proprietary EarlyCDT® platform technology. Oncimmune has pioneered the development of autoantibody tests that can detect cancer up to four years earlier than other methods and can be applied to a very wide range of solid tumour types. The Company's first product, EarlyCDT®-Lung, was launched in 2012, as a CLIA test in the USA and since then over 145,000 commercial tests have been sold. EarlyCDT®-Lung is available through physicians in the US and also privately in the UK and other regions. EarlyCDT®-Lung is being used in the largest ever randomised trial for the early detection of lung cancer using biomarkers, the National Health Service (NHS) Scotland ECLS study of 12,000 high-risk smokers. EarlyCDT® tests for liver and ovarian cancer are in development.
