Intercell AG announced today the appointment of its new Scientific
Advisory Board (SAB). The company feels honored that the following
academic scientists have accepted the invitation to serve in
Intercell's new SAB: Rafi Ahmed (Emory University School of
Medicine), Hubert Blum (University of Freiburg), Stanley N. Cohen
(Stanford University), Franz Xaver Heinz (University of Vienna),
Stefan H.E. Kaufmann (Max-Planck-Institute for Infection Biology),
Staffan Normark (Karolinska Institute) and Hans Wigzell (Karolinska
Institute).
Throughout Intercell's next growth stage, the new members will
support the company with their broad knowledge and unique expertise
in the fields of infectious diseases, microbiology, immunology and
molecular biology as well as their worldwide networks. The new SAB
will follow the original SAB that has been pivotal to launch the
company eight years ago and that has accompanied Intercell on its way
from a university spin-off to an internationally acknowledged vaccine
player in the biotech arena.
The former SAB, chaired by Intercell's co-founder Max Birnstiel,
included Hubert Blum, David Hirsh, Staffan Normark, Hamilton Smith,
Hans Strander and Charles Weissmann. They have added much to
Intercell's credibility, helped to implement high scientific
standards and supported the company in finding its strategic focus.
The new SAB will also give assistance to Intercell by offering the
advice of outstanding scientists, with the company's primary focus on
vaccines and immunotherapeutic treatments against infectious
diseases.
Intercell's CSO, Alexander von Gabain, states: "I would like to thank
the members of the founding SAB for their long-time commitment to our
company and their outstanding contribution to create an excellent
position in science and product development. I welcome the new SAB
members who perfectly match the scientific profile that we need to
develop the company into its next stage."
Max Birnstiel, co-founder and Chair of the founding SAB, states: "I
am delighted that the new SAB members will continue our mission to
support building excellence in biotech. Their competence, skills, and
reputation is optimal for reaching Intercell's strategic goal to
fight infectious diseases and also to achieving state of the art
vaccine technologies."
