NetworkNewsBreaks – AzurRx BioPharma Inc. (NASDAQ: AZRX) Appoints New Chairman of the Board
AzurRx BioPharma (NASDAQ: AZRX), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of targeted, non-systemic therapies for gastrointestinal (“GI”) diseases, today announced the appointment of James Sapirstein, president and CEO, as chairman of the company’s board of directors, effective immediately. Sapirstein succeeds Edward J. Borkowski, who joined the AzurRx board in May 2015 and has served as chairman since April 2016. Borkowski will remain as lead independent director of the board of directors. “Having served on AzurRx’s board since 2015, I am committed to ensuring a prosperous future for the company,” said Borkowski. “Under James’ leadership, AzurRx has strategically expanded its existing pipeline to pursue new opportunities in the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions. The recent licensing agreement with First Wave Bio represents an exciting new chapter in the company’s growth with the potential to generate both near-term and long-range returns for AzurRx shareholders. James has been instrumental in implementing this strategy, and he is ideally suited to lead the company as both chairman and CEO as we seek to maximize the full potential of AzurRx’s pipeline and advance our clinical development programs.”
