Until the end of 2008, the preclinical and basic research team will report directly to Dr. Bonabes de Rouge, Senior Executive Vice-President and CSO.

"On behalf of all of us at Ambrilia, I wish to thank Jinzi for his contribution in building the Company's expertise in antivirals and wish him the best of luck in his new undertaking," said Dr. Philippe Calais, President and CEO. "By the same token, I want to reiterate that we have a strong and talented preclinical and research team, based in the Montreal and Marseille sites, entirely dedicated to the antivirals product portfolio. This departure does not diminish in anyway Ambrilia's commitment and recent steps forward in the strategy execution".

Ambrilia's strategy is to capitalize on its broad product portfolio and original expertise in virology. During the course of 2008, execution of the strategy aims to monetize the non-virology assets through third parties agreements, in turn strengthening the Company's financial position to continue building its novel pipeline of antivirals.
