Just recently, numares and US-based Mayo Clinic Laboratories announced their collaboration to develop new diagnostic tests.
"I am excited to lead numares in the US. In a relatively short time, numares has built a strong track record as a provider of a unique diagnostic approach, and is now focused on some very exciting new products,” commented Mr. Gibbons. “I look forward to building the market for the company’s innovative product pipeline, some of which should be filed with the FDA by yearend.”
In recent years, Mr. Gibbons has consulted for innovative clinical diagnostic and life science companies, focusing on market assessment, business development, and strategy. Prior to that he was Senior Vice President of corporate development for Agena Bioscience, following his position as CEO and President of Siloam Biosciences, where he evaluated and implemented strategic options for the company, secured bridge financing, and managed investment banking relationships. This followed his senior management roles in business development for Nanosphere, and strategic marketing for Biosite. Leading up to this, Mr. Gibbons spent 8 years at William Blair, a global investment banking & wealth management firm, where he was a Principal, sell-side Stock Analyst, and Healthcare Equity Research Group Head. Early in his career, he was a consultant and manager for McKinsey & Company, after which he worked for Boehringer Mannheim and Merck. He has also served on several industry and academic advisory boards. Mr. Gibbons holds an MBA from the University of Chicago, and a degree in chemistry from Duke University.
