Professor Ken Herrmannis Chair of the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the Universittsklinikum Essen in Germany. Among his many achievements he is a world leading expert in the clinical development of therapeutic and diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals. He was previously Professor in the Ahmanson Translational Imaging Division of the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at the University of California Los Angeles ; he also served as Vice Chair of the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Universittsklinikum Wrzburg. He is currently the Chair of the EANM Oncology & Theragnostics committee and Section Editor of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.He is on the board of Sofie Biosciences.
Ian Gowrie-Smith, Executive Chairman of Theragnostics, said:"We are very pleased to welcome two high calibre board members to Theragnostics. Dennis has significant business and development acumen, extensive experience and a successful track record in working in the pharmaceutical sector. Ken's extensive knowledge in the clinical development and commercialisation of radiopharmaceuticals is key to the advancement and maturity of Theragnostics. Both will aid us in implementing and enhancing our strategy of bringing novel PARPi diagnostic agents and new targeted therapies to patients."
Greg Mullen, Chief Executive Officer of Theragnostics, added:"I am very pleased to have Dennis and Ken with their expertise and track record, join our board. The appointments come at a pivotal time as we prepare for the next stage of growth and complements the management team's expertise as we advance our programmes into clinical development."
Theragnostics technology platform enables the development of molecular radiotherapy based on a PARPi for imaging and treating cancer. Theragnostics modifies a PARPi drug molecule with a radioactive atom to create a radionuclide PARPi (rPARPi). This can either be used to image PARP in a cancer patient for diagnostic use or the radioactive isotope can be used to deliver a therapeutic dose of radiation into tumour cells, which offers the potential to molecularly target the radiation in order to hit and kill tumour cells whilst avoiding damage to healthy cells and associated side effects.
