UK-based ValiRx (AIM: VAL) on Thursday said it has set up its US operations in Cambridge, Boston, Massachusetts and has also appointed industry specific advisors in the US.

Satu Vainikka, chief executive of ValiRx, said: “ValiRx’s expansion into the US is part of our strategy to strengthen our investor base and to take advantage of close proximity to the biggest biotech market in the world. With VAL201 progressing in the Phase I/II trial and VAL401 on the verge of entering a Phase IIb Clinical Trial, we also felt it important to support our drug development program by strengthening the team, particularly in the US.  It is an exciting time for the group and I look forward to benefiting rapidly from our US presence.”

The company said the US operation is being setup to encourage and facilitate greater interaction with academic, clinical and business leaders in ValiRx’s areas of oncological development.
