Proteomics International Laboratories (ASX: PIQ) has appointed seasoned healthcare and medtech executive David Morris as CEO and managing director to spearhead the commercial rollout of its Promarker diagnostics suite.
Morris steps into the role with a strong track record in the industry, including executive leadership at Cochlear, Nanosonics, Polynovo and Monash IVF.
I would also like to acknowledge and thank Richard for his outstanding contribution in establishing Proteomics.
Proteomics International Laboratories Chairman Dr James Williams
The accreditation for testing clinical samples is recognised for its rigorous and robust standards and is widely considered the gold standard for laboratory quality in the United States.
The esteemed accreditation adds to the lab’s existing Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification and California State Licence, further strengthening the company’s regulatory credentials.
It will also support the commercial rollout of Proteomics’ non-invasive PromarkerEso and PromarkerEndo diagnostic tests for esophageal cancer and endometriosis, respectively.
The Board is delighted to appoint David as CEO. He brings deep commercial expertise in medical technology and a proven ability to translate innovative science into commercial outcomes.
Proteomics International Laboratories Chairman Dr James Williams
Morris, who is due to take the top spot on 19 January, will succeed Proteomic’s founder Dr Richard Lipscombe, who is set to retire on 23 February after 25 years of distinguished service that has positioned the company as a leader in innovative precision diagnostics.
With regulatory boxes ticked and strong commercial leadership now in place, Proteomics International appears well-positioned to push its Promarker diagnostics from validation into widespread clinical adoption.
For punters, the story is rapidly shifting from scientific promise to execution, with scale, sales, and market access likely to be key to the next leg of growth.
