Justin is an excellent addition to Starpharma’s Executive Team, and we look forward to welcoming him in April.”
“I am excited to be joining Starpharma as CFO and Company Secretary, having followed the company for a number of years. I am impressed by Starpharma’s deep portfolio of oncology assets, global partnerships, and marketed products as well as the Company’s positive culture," added Mr Cahill.
