RayzeBio Appoints Industry Leader Tim Van Hauwermeiren to Its Board of Directors

By: via GlobeNewswire

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RayzeBio, Inc. (Nasdaq: RYZB), a targeted radiopharmaceutical company developing an innovative pipeline against validated solid tumor targets, today announced the appointment of Tim Van Hauwermeiren to its board of directors. As co-founder and CEO of argenx, Tim has built a reputation for his strong execution and innovation, leading argenx from early-stage development into a global immunology company.

“RayzeBio has the potential to transform the oncology treatment landscape through targeted radiopharmaceuticals. I see a lot of parallels between RayzeBio and argenx and look forward to leveraging my experience to help RayzeBio unlock the full potential of this emerging modality,” said Tim.

Tim Van Hauwermeiren co-founded argenx and has served as Chief Executive Officer since 2008. Tim has more than 20 years of general management and business development experience across the life sciences and consumer goods sectors, including at Ablynx and Procter & Gamble. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in bioengineering from Ghent University and an Executive MBA from The Vlerick School of Management. Tim serves on the Board of Directors of iTeos Pharmaceuticals.

“I am thrilled to welcome Tim to our board of directors,” said Ken Song, M.D., President and CEO of RayzeBio. “He has been a major force in scaling argenx from a small private company to a global commercial organization bringing forth innovative medicines to help patients. His perspective as a successful operator can help inform us as we continue to build and maintain our leadership in radiopharmaceuticals.”

In connection with Tim joining the board of directors, Aaron Royston, M.D. has resigned as a board member, effective November 1, 2023. Dr. Royston served as a director of the company from August 2020.  

“RayzeBio has made tremendous progress in a very short timeframe. I look forward to staying engaged as an investor and continuing to see the company flourish,” said Dr. Royston.

Dr. Royston indicated that his resignation was not a result of any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to the company's operations, policies or practices.

About RayzeBio
RayzeBio is building a vertically integrated radiopharmaceutical therapeutics (RPT) company to treat various cancers, with its lead program in a Phase 3 clinical trial. RayzeBio has created a pipeline of multiple drug candidates in therapeutic areas with significant market opportunities. Much like antibody drug conjugates emerged as a new and transformative treatment modality in certain cancers, the company sees an opportunity for innovative radiopharmaceutical therapeutics to follow a similar path. RayzeBio believes its strategic investments in building a robust product pipeline, development capabilities, and manufacturing infrastructure position the company to be an industry-leading pioneer in the broad application of RPT for cancer.
