Senior Management Announcement

Physiomics plc (AIM: PYC), the oncology consultancy using mathematical models to support the development of cancer treatment regimens and personalised medicine solutions, is pleased to announce the hiring this week of a new senior member of its team, Dr Venkata Putcha, as Head of Biostatistics.

Dr Putcha brings with him over 22 years of experience working within drug development, with over 17 years working for many of the top-tier pharmaceutical and CRO companies. Since obtaining his PhD in Applied Statistics, he has held a variety of senior biostatistics and programming roles across academia and industry, both working in-house and as an independent consultant. During these roles, he gained significant experience across Pre-clinical, PK/PD, Biosimilars, Phase-I, IIa, IIb, III and IV, Medical Affairs, Post-Marketing, Diagnostics, Medical Devices, Heath Technology Assessments, Health Economics and Health Related Quality of Life analysis.  

The Head of Biostatistics role will help to formulate and deliver on the Company's new Biostatistics service offering. The initial focus will be to build upon the Company's existing Biostatistics strategy, working with Business Development and Senior Management to define key service offerings and identify new clients. Dr Putcha will be responsible for the delivery of new Biostatistics consulting contracts within the business and, as we grow this service line, will take a lead refining and executing on the Company's Biostatistics strategy.

Dr Jim Millen, Executive Chair and CEO commented:

"Following our announcement earlier this year that Physiomics would be expanding into adjacent areas of lifesciences R&D consulting, starting with biostatistics, we are delighted to welcome Venkata to our team.  His extensive experience in the field of biostatistics will act as a strong base from which to grow this new segment of our business.  We'll be providing a further update on our expansion into this field later this calendar year."
