Laboratory for Advanced Medicine Names Jinjie Hu as Chief Regulatory Officer
IRVINE, Calif., July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Laboratory for Advanced Medicine (LAM), a clinical-stage medical technology company focused on developing innovative technologies for the early diagnosis and intervention of cancers, today announced that the Company has recently appointed Dr. Jinjie Hu as its Chief Regulatory Officer. Dr. Hu has over a decade of experience working directly with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER).
"Following LAM's recent commercialization of the Company's IvyGene test for the early diagnosis and detection of cancer, having Dr. Hu on board as we continue our ongoing discussions with the FDA is an enormous asset to our team moving forward," said Dr. Shu Li, LAM's Chairman. "Additionally, given Dr. Hu's deep experience in reviewing analytical and clinical study data – as well as her hands-on experience in meeting regulatory requirements for companion diagnostic products, combination products and other biological product applications – she will serve as an invaluable member of LAM's senior leadership from both a broad regulatory scientific and strategic business perspective."
As President and Principal Consultant at Axteria BioMed Consulting, Inc., and as a Senior Consultant for Biologics Consulting Group, Dr. Hu has a successful track record in helping sponsors with FDA applications. She has also served as a World Health Organization adviser for its diagnostic pre-qualification program, as well as the International Network Committee Chair of the FDA Alumni Association.
"As LAM is at a pivotal moment in the Company's history, having just launched IvyGene – the first laboratory-developed test that uses a methylation-based approach to test for multiple types of cancer – the opportunity to join LAM and assist in its regulatory efforts made perfect sense as the next step in my career," added Dr. Hu. "What's more, LAM has a tremendous advantage in the liquid biopsy space, as the assays in development are supported with the Company's unmatched patient sample biobank, and there is nothing more exciting to be a part of across the life sciences industry today. I look forward to working closely with management to make cancer a more manageable disease due to successful early diagnostics for people all over the world in hopes of saving countless lives in the process."
Dr. Hu received her Ph.D. in comparative pathology from the University of California, Davis, and completed her post-doctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
