ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

LCT founder Sir Robert Elliott dies

Scientific entrepreneur was at the forefront of health research in New Zealand

21 August 2020 – Auckland – Living Cell Technologies (LCT) founder, Emeritus Professor Sir Robert Elliott, has died aged 86.

Chairman Dr Bernie Tuch today paid tribute to one of the country’s foremost scientific entrepreneurs.

“The medical, scientific and biotechnology communities in New Zealand have lost a tireless researcher and a visionary pioneer,” said Dr Tuch. “All of us at LCT are saddened to hear of his death.

“Long before Bob founded LCT, he was at the forefront of child health research in New Zealand.

“His research into cystic fibrosis and type 1 diabetes was world renowned and he contributed to other biotechnology success stories including A2 Corporation and Somnaceutics.”

Sir Robert trained as a paediatrician at Adelaide University. He moved to New Zealand in 1970 to become the Foundation Professor, Director of Paediatrics at The University of Auckland. A world leader in diabetes and autoimmune related research, he published more than 200 research papers and was an Emeritus Professor of Child Health Research.

Sir Robert received his knighthood in June 2020 for services to medical research. In 2011 he was awarded the prestigious World Class New Zealander (Life Sciences) award. In 1999 he was awarded a CNZM (a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit) for services to the community.

He was on the board of Cure Kids, Wings Trust and was patron of the NZ Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. He was also a director of Breathe Easy Limited, Kopu Limited, Visregen Technologies Limited, Fac8 Limited and NZeno Limited.

Sir Robert co-founded Living Cell Technologies (initially called Diatranz) with Auckland businessman David Collinson in 1987 aiming to commercialise his research into type 1 diabetes.

“Bob leaves an incredible legacy,” said Dr Tuch, “one we are humbled to be a part of. We were fortunate to have Bob on the board right up until his death. At 86 years of age he was still coming up with new ideas.

“Bob will be sorely missed; it was an honour to work with him,” he added.

Bob is survived by his wife of more than 60 years, Betsy, their five children and 11 grandchildren.

The required Appendix 3Z is attached.

Authorised for release by the board of LCT.
