Kancera prepares for clinical development

Niclas Brynne (born 1961) holds a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences, Clinical Pharmacology. He has more than 25 years of experience from clinical development positions at Pharmacia and AstraZeneca. In these companies, Niclas has been responsible for progressing new discoveries from preclinical research through clinical development to marketed drugs. Most recently Niclas comes from a position as Senior VP, Head Clinical Projects, at Mentiscura Diagnostics.

“Kancera has developed a portfolio of preclinical drug projects against cancer diseases that cannot be cured with existing therapies. The next step in Kancera’s development is to test selected candidate drugs in humans. We are therefore pleased to welcome Niclas Brynne, who provides a broad knowledge and extensive experience of clinical development of new treatment concepts”, says Thomas Olin, CEO of Kancera AB.
