The AIM-traded firm said Dr Davies, who joined this week, was bringing over 20 years of experience in drug development, including significant roles at major pharmaceutical companies like AstraZeneca and within biopharma support services.

His expertise spanned computational biology, data informatics, and various phases of drug discovery, providing a strong foundation for his new leadership role.

In his position, Dr Davies would oversee Physiomics’ modelling, simulation and data science services, playing a central role in the company’s strategic direction alongside the chief executive and the board.
