Servatus confirms the appointment of Mark Williams as CEO

Servatus Limited 2 mins read

Servatus Limited, an Australian biopharmaceutical company delivering leading novel autoimmune and microbiome therapies, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Mark Williams as Chief Executive Officer.

First joining Servatus as a Non-Executive Director in February 2018, Mr Williams was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director in July 2018. Prior to joining Servatus, he had a long and successful career in investment banking, spending two decades with Macquarie Bank in senior roles in Sydney, London, and South America, ultimately leading Macquarie in Brazil. 

Mr Williams said he was deeply honoured to step into the CEO role at Servatus and build upon the legacy of Dr Wayne Finlayson, the Company’s Co-founder and CEO who passed away in September. “Wayne was a visionary and I am proud to build upon his ground-breaking work in microbiome-based therapeutics.” 

“Servatus is an exciting and dynamic business, with significant developments underway across our clinical program and our over-the-counter consumer products business, biomiq. We have several key inflection points over the coming 12 months that I’m confident will further cement our position as a leading microbiome-based therapeutics company globally.”

Servatus is progressing its comprehensive clinical program for its live biotherapeutics. Currently four clinical trials are in progress for insomnia, IBS-C, Helicobacter Pylori and Rheumatoid Arthritis, with a number of important data readouts expected in H1 2024.

Additionally, Servatus’ new biomiq skincare range expands Servatus’ biomiq product portfolio, which already includes a range of powdered OTC TGA-listed biotherapeutics that target specific health complaints, including constipation and bloating.

TGA ignored as Victorian Government ‘shortcut’ puts women at risk: RACGP

The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) has expressed disappointment that the Victorian Government has overridden repeated warnings from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) by allowing pharmacists to prescribe the contraceptive pill, undermining established medicines safety safeguards. The Victorian Government has, contrary to repeated TGA assessments, weakened its medicines safety regulations by enabling pharmacists, rather than medically trained prescribers, to initiate prescriptions for the oral contraceptive pill. RACGP Victoria Chair Dr Anita Muñoz said the announcement prioritises political expediency and industry lobbying over evidence‑based public health. “We are deeply disappointed that the Victorian Government appears to be listening to lobbyists…

Medical colleges commit to national reform on specialist access and affordability for all Australians

For patients in regional and remote Australia, the specialist they need is too often simply not there. More than 80 per cent of Australia’s specialists practise in metropolitan areas, despite nearly a third of the population living outside the cities. Potentially preventable hospitalisations are 30 per cent higher in outer regional areas and 70 per cent higher in remote communities. At a two-day summit at Parliament House, Australia’s 16 specialist medical colleges have committed to working with state and Federal governments to reform how and where specialists are trained and have set new national standards on ethical billing and fee…
