Chief Financial Office - CFO to Glycorex in Lund

Glycorex Transplantation AB produces products that enables transplantations across the blood group barrier and thereby help saving lives. The first transplantation using Glycosorb® ABO was performed in September 2001 at the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. Since then, more than 5,000 transplants have been performed in 28 countries at more than 200 transplant centers. More than 60 scientific papers in reputable medical journals show excellent short- and long-term results fully comparable to blood group compatible transplants. Glycorex technology not only saves lives and improves patients’ quality of life, it also has very positive health economic effects. Each kidney transplant saves about 150 dialysis treatments per year, which means that the more than 5,000 kidney transplants performed after Glycosorb® ABO treatments, can be estimated to save over 700,000 dialysis treatments per year.

Glycorex is entering an expansive phase with the development of new products based on the company’s unique technology platform. Glycorex has recently launched a new product version designed to produce universal blood plasma that can be given regardless of the recipient’s blood group, which means major improvements in the logistics, safety, and availability for blood donor centres.
