Dr McCudden commented "Domainex offers high-quality, added-value, drug discovery services to the global biotechnology and pharma marketplaces. Its technical expertise is superb; shown by the success realised on behalf of its clients and with its own internal drug research portfolio . I am very pleased to join Domainex, especially at this exciting time of growth. It is a pivotal moment for the business, and I look forward to helping to expand its client base, whilst supporting the outlicensing effort for the internal programmes."
Dr Eddy Littler CEO of Domainex said "Domainex is entering a new phase in its development. Our service division is undergoing a significant expansion with a number of new contracts, and our drug discovery division has advanced its first project - on the kinase targets IKKe and TBK1 - to a point where we will seek to outlicense the project during 2011. We are delighted that Joanne is joining Domainex in order to spearhead our future Business Development activities".
