Medisse Appoints Alexander Vos to Supervisory Board

AMERSFOORT, Netherlands--()--Medisse, a medical device company focused on the development of a new generation of resorbable flexible implants for soft tissue applications, announced today that its shareholders have appointed Alexander Vos to its Supervisory Board. Mr. Vos is currently CEO of Pharmacell, a company that provides contract services in the area of human cell and tissue culturing. Mr. Vos is a seasoned executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. He previously held senior management positions at Genzyme Europe, MediService (Switzerland) and PAION (Germany).

“Alexander Vos’s broad experience will be of great value to Medisse as it expands its development capabilities. We will be able to build on his in-depth knowledge of the drug and medical device development processes to bring Medisse’s lead product for anti adhesion to market,” said Will Hazenberg, Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
