“Dr. Richardson has an impressive background and we are pleased to welcome her to Transgenomic,” said Mr. Tuttle. “She clearly has the stature and expertise in the scientific community we are looking for as we further develop our laboratory services business as well as very strong ties to pharmaceutical research which should help us further expand our Pharmacogenomics services business. Dr. Richardson has to her credit nearly 60 publications, abstracts and presentations at scientific conferences, and she was part of the group at Eli Lilly that identified the link between the BRCA-1 gene and hereditary breast cancer. In particular, we look forward to tapping Dr. Richardson’s extensive experience in pharmaceutical drug development and companion diagnostic testing as well as in regulatory and laboratory operating procedures.”
