Svein Lien appointed ceo of Biotec Pharmacon

Lien has a financial background and extensive experience at technology and diagnostics businesses

Svein Lien has become chief executive of Norwegian pharmaceutical firm Biotec Pharmacon following the resignation of Lars Viksmoen.

Lien has a financial background and extensive experience at technology and diagnostics businesses, most recently as chief executive of Axis-Shield, a diagnostic company listed in London and Oslo.

Following divestment of Immunocorp Animal Health in 2008 and Immunocorp Consumer Health at the end of 2009 Biotec Pharmacon has narrowed its strategic focus to two core business areas: pharmaceutical development and marine biochemicals.

Pharmaceutical development is in the research and development phase, while Biotec Marine Biochemicals specialises in cold-adapted marine enzymes for the molecular biology and diagnostics markets.
