ImmunoPrecise Strengthens Board of Directors with Antibody Business Leader, Brian Lundstrom

VICTORIA, October 3, 2019 / – IMMUNOPRECISE ANTIBODIES LTD. (the “Company” or “IPA”) (TSX VENTURE: IPA) (OTC QB: IPATF) a provider of best-in-class therapeutic antibody discovery capabilities for the global industry, today announced the appointment of Brian Lundstrom to the company’s Board of Directors. Dr. James Kuo, ImmunoPrecise Chairman, noted: “With the addition of Mr. Lundstrom, ImmunoPrecise further strengthens its strategic and operational commitment to industry-leading therapeutic antibody discovery for both its clients and the company’s emerging internal pipeline.”

​Trained in immunology and international business, Mr. Lundstrom has over 30 years’ experience from mostly publicly traded companies with a focus on antibody therapeutics. He started his career with product and clinical development for Novo Nordisk, in Europe, in 1987 and moved to the US in 1993 to form a dedicated business development function. He subsequently served as business development and financing lead for publicly traded companies such as OGS (now UCB), SangStat (now a Division of Sanofi Genzyme), ACADIA and ISCO. This included SangStat’s $600M sale and integration into Genzyme in 2003.

Since 2011, Mr. Lundstrom has established global business leadership in transgenic animals for discovery of human therapeutic antibodies, first with OMT, and then with Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ:LGND), after their $178M acquisition of OMT.

“We welcome Brian Lundstrom to our board and consider his immense experience in developing and closing pharma partnerships as a tremendous benefit to the company, as ImmunoPrecise continues to take stage as a leader in data-driven, therapeutic antibody discovery,” said Dr. Jennifer Bath, President and CEO of ImmunoPrecise.
