Mr. Vennare will continue to work closely with the company’s senior management to expand its portfolio of proprietary solutions to advance the pipeline of drug development in oncology, ranging from early discovery through clinical trials. He will lead Predictive Oncology’s efforts to evolve the company’s core products and services, which include its flagship technology that pairs artificial intelligence with the world’s largest commercial biobank for oncology drug discovery, as well as the application of 3D tumor models and formulation solutions.

“Having served on the Board of Directors of Predictive Oncology for more than a year, now, I have come to recognize the unmet needs in the marketplace, the growth potential for the company and the passion of the people who will make this all happen,” said Mr. Vennare. “What we do for our customers today, will directly impact the lives of those patients who may benefit by these discoveries, in the future.”
