March 2, 2005 - 2:39PM

Sydney-based pharmaceutical company Pharmaxis has announced it had created a new position in its expanded senior management team, to be filled by Dr Ian McDonald.

Dr McDonald, who will step up as Pharmaxis' Chief Technical Officer, has 25 years experience in managing drug discovery and design teams in Europe and the US, most recent as vice president of drug discovery at Structural GenomiX, USA.

Under his leadership six compounds were developed and evaluated in clinical trials.

CEO Alan Robertson said the appointment of Dr McDonald would enhance Pharmaxis' ability to research and develop new drugs, and his experience in dealing with the US Food and Drug Administration would prove invaluable.
