Dr. Martin J. Kaplitt, the Company’s Chairman, said that “the Board appreciates John’s years of dedication and service to Neurologix and we wish him well in his future endeavors. Moving forward, the Board is confident that Clark’s significant management background and expertise, combined with his in-depth knowledge of Neurologix, will serve as a great benefit to the Company as it gears up for a Phase 3 pivotal trial.”
