Christophe Douat
At the listing ceremony, Christophe Douat, Chairman of MedinCell’s Executive Board, said:
Today’s listing is a milestone for MedinCell. It confirms the expertise and tenacity of the entire MedinCell team, and illustrates the strength of our approach, in which all of our staff members are either already shareholders or will have that opportunity. This is one key to our success—a success that includes two products already in Phase II and III clinical trials in the United States, with ten more in the pipeline. The funds we’ve raised will enable us to expand our portfolio and increase our impact on global health.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our team members who have been working hard to this end, as well as the new shareholders who have joined us and who share our goals, including our vision of harnessing pharmaceuticals to serve human well-being, and our commitment to a better world.
