Xintela strengthens business development and reorganizes

Xintela announces today that Thomas Areschoug has been recruited to the business development team as Business Development Manager. In addition, the company is reorganizing in order to develop its projects more efficiently.

- We are very pleased to have Thomas Areschoug join the team. His broad international network and experience is exactly what Xintela now needs to market our technology and identify good industrial partners for our projects, says Xintela's CEO Evy Lundgren-Åkerlund.

Broad life sciences network
Thomas Areschoug has recently worked with business development at Invest in Skåne, where he built up a broad network of pharmaceutical companies and investors. He marketed companies in Southern Sweden and facilitated contacts and partnerships with international players. Thomas Areschoug also has a broad background in biomedical research with a focus on microbiology and immunology. In addition, he has been active in biotechnology companies and worked with business development, project management and financing.  He also has experience of Board work.

- I'm really looking forward to taking on this task to promote Xintela's projects and identify possible partners and licensees. The company has an exciting technology with great potential. Many international companies are already aware of Xintela's projects in regenerative medicine and cancer, says Thomas Areschoug.

Xintela also announces that the company is reorganizing to more effectively move its projects forward. Carl-Magnus Högerkorp leaves the role of Chief Scientific Officer and will assume the role of Production Manager with a focus on GMP production of stem cells for the clinical studies in horses and humans. Evy Lundgren-Åkerlund takes over the research responsibility. Chairman Greg Batcheller is increasing his operational engagement in the company as Executive Chairman.
