At the Annual General Meeting, NanoEcho elected Daniel Johnsson as Chairman of the Board.

Led by Ann-Christin, the Company’s market capitalization increased from MSEK 5 to 500. Today, Ann-Christin works as a consultant and business coach for SmiLe Life Science Incubator.

Furthermore, the board members PhD Johannes Swartling, MBA BG Svensson, and Professor Tomas Jansson were re-elected.

The Company’s Board is elected in view of the position shift that the Company has made, from being a research company to being a clear product development company. Today, the Company is fully focused on developing a product for commercialization.

“We are both happy and proud that Daniel has chosen to take on the role of Chairman of the Board of NanoEcho. We really look forward to sharing Daniel’s knowledge, network and solid experience of building profitable companies.” – says Linda Persson, CEO of NanoEcho.

About NanoEcho

NanoEcho has developed a new technology for clearer diagnostics of, as the first phase, rectal cancer. The imaging technology is based on a new medical approach where nanotechnology is used in combination with modern ultrasound technology. The images that are generated are intended to facilitate differentiation between healthy and diseased tissue and at the same time determine the location of the cancer tissue more precisely. The aim is to provide more precise, simpler and less costly diagnosis of cancers and other diseases. With clearer diagnostics, the company wants to assist treating physicians with better guidance for more personalized treatment. Both the quality of life of the patients and their chance of survival can improve after treatment, with reduced treatment costs. www.nanoecho.se
