Oxford Biomedia has added a new non-executive director to its board, with Professor Dame Kay Davies joining on 1st March 2021.

Professor Davies is a world-leading human geneticist with a research focus on the molecular analysis of neuromuscular and neurological disease, particularly Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Oxford Biomedica non-executive chairman Dr Roch Doliveux said: 'It is an honour to have Professor Dame Kay Davies agree to join the Board and further augment our science and translational expertise as we continue to strengthen Oxford Biomedica's position as a leading gene and cell therapy company.
