Avantogen CEO joins Hawaii Biotech board

27 October 2008

William Ardrey, chief executive of Australia's Avantogen, has been appointed to the board of directors of Hawaii Biotech, effective October 21. Avantogen is focused on commercial licensing and revenue outcomes throughout the group and believes that Dr Ardrey's appointment to the Hawaii Biotech board will advance these goals.

Avantogen is a significant investor in Hawaii Biotech and intends to purchase additional shares in the company based on proceeds received from Avantogen's recent $1.0-million capital raising. The Australian firm says it is firmly convinced that Hawaii Biotech's recombinant DNA manufacturing platform is an excellent investment opportunity, and Avantogen actively seeks to increase its stake in this promising vaccine development company," stated its chairman, Patrick Elliott.
