Phagenesis appoints chairman and ceo

Will lead the development of treatments for stroke victims

Phagenesis, a UK leader in technology for the treatment of stroke patients, has appointed Henry Hyde-Thomson as chairman and Daniel Green as chief executive. They will lead the University of Manchester spin out in the development of a new class of treatments for stroke victims suffering from dysphagia, a condition that prevents or impairs the safe swallowing of food and drink.

Phagenesis’ technology is a device that delivers electrical pulses to the throat region that can ‘awaken’ the brain to help restore swallowing function. At least 50% of stroke victims have impaired swallowing. Apart from a severe reduction in quality of life, dysphagia often leads to the inhalation of liquids and the development of life-threatening pneumonia.

Green was formerly chief executive of Repregen, an Imperial College spinout. Before that, he was a venture capital investor at HBM Partners in Zurich, Switzerland, Dresdner Kleinwort and MVM, in London, UK.
