We have been developing several drugs that modulate the phosphorylation of the aggregating protein tau in Alzheimer’s disease by inhibiting the protein casein kinase 1 delta. We have tested them in a model of human tauopathy (aggregating tau diseases) and analyzed brain tissue with SysQuant^® to determine the drug’s mechanism of action.

Revenues in the first half are significantly ahead of the equivalent period in 2015 driven principally by strong sales of our TMT® reagents.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Jeremy Haigh as a director and CEO of the Company on 1^st June 2016 as indicated in the press release to shareholders dated 18^th May 2016.

Against the buoyant background and trajectory of the PS Biomarker Services business it is now appropriate to expand the executive team with a senior figure strongly connected to the pharmaceutical industry and to split the role of Executive Chairman.

The current year started well with a strong order book, increasing amounts of repeat business and a growing pipeline in biomarker services. With the level of SysQuant^® /TMTcalibrator™ production doubled the increased capacity is being fully utilised at a time when the volume of customer enquiries is rising on a monthly basis and we are looking to further expand the sales team. Current indications point to a strong performance in 2016.
