Oct 23 2020
Liam Taylor has been appointed CEO of Axol Bioscience, a developer of stem cell technology and cell-based assay systems for drug discovery, with a focus on maximizing team potential and the company’s iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cell) technologies, products and services.
Liam is a highly experienced senior executive with extensive knowledge of running commercial, operations, finance and innovation teams in the diagnostic, pharma and life science sector, both in the UK and US. Most recently he was CFO and then Managing Director of BBI Solutions, during which time the business’ annual revenues grew from £23M to over £52M, driven by organic growth and strategic acquisitions, which broadened the Company’s product and service offerings.
Dr Jonathan Milner, Chairman, Axol Bioscience, said: “The Board is delighted to appoint Liam as Axol’s new CEO. His wealth of experience and comprehensive knowledge of the pharma and life science sector will be invaluable in unlocking the full potential of the Company.”
“The progress achieved at Axol Bioscience in developing high quality and consistent iPSCs has been impressive, and I am excited to be joining at an exciting point in the Company’s development where we will be working to scale up operations to support the rapidly growing biotech and pharmaceutical markets, to support increases in efficiency within drug screening and discovery,” Mr Taylor added.
