APPOINTMENT OF CELGENE VETERAN DR GEORGE MATCHAM AS NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Chimeric Therapeutics (ASX:CHM, “Chimeric” or the “Company”), a clinical stage cell therapy company, is pleased to announce Dr George Matcham has been appointed to the board as a Non-Executive Director.
Dr Matcham brings to Chimeric a wealth of experience in the biopharma sector, following an instrumental three decades with cell therapy giant Celgene Corporation. He joined Celgene in its infancy in 1988 when the company was a 30-person startup, retiring in 2018 with the company turning over $15 billion annually and a staff of almost 9,000.
At Celgene, Dr Matcham championed the introduction of cellular immunotherapy and led the establishment of cell therapy and biologics technical development. Vital to the growth of cell therapy at Celgene, Dr Matcham held several senior positions, including Chief Operations Officer of Celgene Cellular Therapeutics and Senior Vice President of CAR T CMC Development, where he oversaw clinical supply.
He holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Cardiff University, as well as a M.A from the prestigious Cambridge University.
In recent years, Dr Matcham has also served on the board and as an advisor at Instil Bio throughout its financing rounds and IPO.
“We have been focused on securing a world-class team in cell therapy for Chimeric Therapeutics, and appointing George to the board is another big step in that direction,” said Paul Hopper, Executive Chairman and Founder of Chimeric.
“He has a wealth of experience with a leader in the sector and his insights and contribution will be invaluable in what will be a significant period of growth for Chimeric.”
Authorised on behalf of the Chimeric Therapeutics board of directors by Chairman Paul Hopper.
