Imagion Biosystems announces change to Board of Directors
MELBOURNE — Imagion Biosystems Limited (ASX: IBX) (the Company), a company dedicated to
improving healthcare through the earlier detection of cancer, has accepted the resignation of non-executive
director Dr. John Hazle, effective today. At this stage the Board does not envisage needing to replace Dr.
Hazle with another non-executive director.
Dr. Hazle’s involvement with the Company will continue through his appointment as founding Chairman of
the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board.
Dr. Hazle has been a leading scientific collaborator with the Company for more than five years having
established the Magnetic Relaxometry Research Laboratory at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston
in 2014. As the Company is now moving closer to clinical testing both the Company and Dr. Hazle believe
this change in role is in the best interest of all parties and will eliminate any potential conflicts of interest
between his roles at the Company and the MD Anderson Cancer Center, while still allowing Dr. Hazle to
continue to be a productive contributor to the success of the Company.
Bob Proulx, Executive Chairman commented, “We are often complemented on the quality of our Board
and we’ve been fortunate to have Dr. Hazle’s participation as a non-executive director. Moving forward
this change in role will allow us to continue to benefit from his deep expertise and industry connections
while still allowing us to work closely with the MD Anderson Cancer Center.”
“I continue to be optimistic about Imagion Biosystems and the Company’s MagSense technology,” stated
Dr. Hazle. “I’m looking forward to establishing and leading the Scientific Advisory Board to help guide and
fulfill the company’s vision of using its technology to achieve early cancer detection and improve cancer
care and treatments.”
