Jones joins the board following the recent acquisition of the company through investment from the Wales Life Sciences Investment Fund (WLSIF) along with professor Chris Evans and Simbec's executive directors Howard Jenkins and Dr. Trevor Tanner. The acquisition, concluded in May, was the first investment of the newly created GBP100m WLSIF managed by Arthurian Life Sciences.
