Oncos is developing novel cancer therapeutics based on its next generation oncolytic viruses, and the company said Mikael would have a key role in turning its work to date into a clinical development programme.

“Oncos has already treated over 200 patients across different solid tumour types with many different formulations of its next generation oncolytic viruses – and this has created a unique platform of patient response data from which the company can now build the highest quality data-driven clinical development programme,” Mikael said.
