Business Wire
Helix BioMedix, Inc. (OTCBB:HXBM), a developer of bioactive
peptides, today announced that Dr. Timothy Falla will leave his
post as Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer effective
February 28, 2011. Dr. Falla will assist the company on a
consulting basis in managing the Helix BioMedix patent portfolio
during a transitional period.
“Over the past 10 years, Tim has created and expanded our
technology platform, supporting it through patent protection and
advancing it to early-stage commercialization,” stated R. Stephen
Beatty, the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our
patent portfolio has grown to cover more than 100,000 bioactive
peptides, one of the most extensive libraries in the industry. A
number of these molecules are now contributing to our growing
revenue base, and Helix BioMedix is intensifying its focus on the
near-term commercialization of its extensive peptide and small
molecule library.”
“We are pleased that Tim will continue to assist the company
with matters related to existing patents and patent applications,”
added Beatty. “Dr. Lijuan Zhang, who has worked alongside Tim in
creating the current patent portfolio, will continue to lead our
ongoing invention and discovery programs targeting the development
of novel molecules. In addition, we plan to expand our R&D team
with development-oriented scientists to further commercialize our
existing pipeline. This reflects our belief that the company has
reached an important inflection point, and the greatest stockholder
value will be derived by accelerating the conversion of our
substantial intellectual property into revenue-generating products
for a wide range of dermal applications.”
