Destiny Pharma PLC - Brighton, England-based clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on preventing life-threatening infections - Says Nigel Rudd will be returning as chair, effective immediately. He was chair of Destiny from 2010 to 2018, and led its flotation on the London AIM market.

Chair Nigel Rudd says: "It is with great pleasure that I can return to the company at such an exciting time, as we move towards the commercialisation of our products. Our recent market research is indicating that there is a blockbuster, USD2 billion plus opportunity with the XF-73 programme in the US alone. And our NTCD-M3 programme is phase 3 ready, with the clinical development and regulatory investment required, coming from our partner Sebela."
