PRESS RELEASE
Abingworth, the international life sciences and healthcare investment group, has appointed Andrew Sinclair as Principal, Analyst. He will focus on evaluating new and existing opportunities in quoted life sciences and healthcare companies including open market and private transactions. He is based at the company’s headquarters in London.
Dr Sinclair has more than 8 years experience as an analyst in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. He joined Abingworth from HSBC Global Markets where he was Senior Equity Analyst, Director, responsible for investment research in the mid-cap pharmaceutical sector. Previously, Dr Sinclair held biotechnology analyst positions at Credit Suisse and SG Cowen.
Dr Sinclair completed a PhD in Chemistry and Genetic Engineering at the BBSRC Institute of Plant Science, Norwich, and holds a BSc in Microbiology from King’s College London. He qualified as a chartered accountant with KPMG.
“We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the team,” said Dr Joe Anderson, Partner. “His experience will further strengthen Abingworth’s investments in public equities. This is a great time to be investing in small public life science companies as the credit crisis and recessionary pressures have depressed share prices to a level where market valuations can bear little resemblance to intrinsic value. Andrew’s skills will be very valuable as we seek out the strongest businesses in this sector.”
