CytRx, a biopharmaceutical R&D company specializing in oncology, has appointed Steven A. Kriegsman, president, CEO and a director of the company, as chairman of the board, effective Oct. 15. He replaces Max E. Link, Ph.D., whose unexpected passing was announced on Oct. 7.
"I am honored to assume the additional responsibilities of chairman," said Kriegsman.
