Oncothyreon said it had appointed Daniel Spiegelman, the CFO at CV Therapeutics in Palo Alto, Calif., and Stephen Burley, the chief scientific officer of SGX Pharmaceuticals in San Diego, Calif., to its board. S. Robert Blair, a current director, is retiring. Read the release here.
UPDATE, 3:08 pm: I should note that Christopher Henney, Oncothyreon's chairman, is also the chairman of SGX Pharmaceuticals, Burley's employer. Henney, of course, co-founded Immunex, Icos and Dendreon.
UPDATE, 5:15 pm: Henney also served as chairman of Seattle's Xycte Therapies, which merged with Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals in late 2005. Henney is now a board member at Cyclacel. A fellow director? Spiegelman.
