Henrik Lund (M.D. Ph.D) has accepted to be a candidate for the new

The chairman of the board, Håkon Sæterøy comments: "DiaGenic, last year,

received the Norwegian Research Council's prestigious "Most Innovative

Company of the Year" award. The company has now passed some of the most

critical phases of a biotechnology company and completed more than 10

years of research and development. CE marking of the company's first

commercial products BCtect ® (diagnosis of breast cancer) and ADtect ®

(diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease) represent important milestones. The

company has entered into a new phase when these products will be

marketed and sold.

After 8 years as chairman, I have now worked for the company to find a

new chairman with relevant industrial experience, and it is a great

pleasure to welcome Henrik Lund as a new chairman of DiaGenic. Following

CE marking of BCtect ® and ADtect ® the company has for the first time a

comprehensive clinical documentation, which will allow their use as

biomarkers during drug development. Henrik Lund has a long international

career in the pharmaceutical industry, and in him the company will find

a resource who can focus on the sale of our biomarkers to pharmaceutical

companies."
