LUND, Sweden, Feb. 21, 2025

LUND, Sweden, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunovia (IMMNOV: Nasdaq Stockholm), the pancreatic cancer diagnostics company, today announces that it will be hiring a new Chief Financial Officer $(CFO.AU)$ as its focus turns to the US market.

As Immunovia transitions to commercializing its test in the second half of 2025, the company's financial leadership needs are changing. The launch of Immunovia's pancreatic cancer test in the USA creates a need for deeper expertise and relationships in the US diagnostics market as well as global capital markets. The company is conducting a search for a CFO with diagnostics or med tech operating experience, a network of US industry contacts, and a track record of successfully communicating with capital markets across different geographies.

With this move, Karin Almqvist Liwendahl, will be stepping down as CFO of Immunovia.

"Karin has played an important role in the transformation of Immunovia over the last three years," says Jeff Borcherding, CEO and President of Immunovia. "Karin has helped us streamline the organization, lower operating costs, and reduce our cash burn. I appreciate all she has done and wish Karin the best in her next endeavor."

Karin will continue to fulfill her responsibilities as CFO until the end of the first quarter of 2025. Immunovia has initiated the recruitment process for a successor. In the interim period, financial leadership responsibilities will be assumed by Jeff Borcherding and Immunovia finance team members.
