Oncimmune, a leader in early cancer detection, today announced the appointment of Greg Stanley as President of Commercial Operations.

Greg Stanley is a senior executive with a proven track record in launching products and services, developing successful commercial strategies and securing and fostering strategic partnerships across multiple markets, skills that will all be applicable to Oncimmune's next stage of growth.

Greg has also held various positions at Roche Diagnostics Corporation, World Wide Technology, Radiometer, Chiron Corporation (now Siemens) and Abbott Laboratories.

Previously at Oncimmune, Greg created, implemented and led the commercial strategy and tactical plan for the Company's oncology portfolio including the successful launch of the Company's first commercial product, EarlyCDT®-Lung.  In his new role as President of Commercial Operations, Greg will be responsible for consolidating current relationships, appointing new distributors in the US and maximising revenue opportunities for the Company.

Geoffrey Hamilton-Fairley, CEO of Oncimmune commented: "We are very pleased to welcome Greg back to Oncimmune.

It is pleasure to return to a team I know well and to be able to focus on bringing EarlyCDT®-Lung to more patients."

EarlyCDT-Lung is being used in the world's largest randomised trial for the early detection of lung cancer using biomarkers ever conducted; the National Health Service (NHS) Scotland ECLS study of more than 10,000 high-risk smokers. Early results were recently presented at the 16th World Conference on Lung Cancer; showing a high cancer detection rate with the majority of these cancers being early stage, resulting in better than expected test performance.
