Tod Woolf, president and CEO of RXi, said: “2008 was a pivotal year for our company, as we became one of only a few biopharmaceutical companies to begin trading publicly during the year, and we made significant progress moving our RNAi therapeutics platform forward.
“We advanced our rxRNA compounds and delivery technologies considerably in 2008, and are focusing our resources on preclinical development in the inflammatory and metabolic disease areas. With our strong intellectual property and world-class scientific and management team, we believe we are well poised for success in 2009 and the future.”
