Berlin, Germany, Jan 2, 2008 - (Hugin via ABN Newswire) - Corporate news announcement processed and transmitted by Hugin ASA. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------



Founder and long-time Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Burghardt Wittig, joins Strategic Scientific Advisory Council of MOLOGEN AG

Berlin, January 2, 2008 - As already notified in the 2007 general shareholders' meeting, the Berlin based biotech company MOLOGEN AG today announced that the Supervisory Board has appointed Dr. Matthias Schroff from 1st of January 2008 as Chief Executive Officer for three years, as planned. Henceforth the company will be managed by Dr. Matthias Schroff (CEO) and Joerg Petrass (CFO).

Dr. Schroff has a degree in biochemistry and has been a member of the Executive Board since 2005, being responsible for operational business matters. He is co-inventor of fundamental patented technologies of MOLOGEN. Already before the incorporation of MOLOGEN AG, Dr. Schroff was the Head Scientist at MOLOGEN GmbH and later became its general manager.

"Our product pipeline has an enormous potential, which we will aggressively utilize," said Dr. Schroff. "Within the upcoming months, the clinical trials for our innovative cancer therapy with dSLIM® will begin. The recent acquisition of a competitor with a comparable development product by a US-pharma giant is impressive proof of the value of our dSLIM technology."

Prof. Dr. Burghardt Wittig, founder and long-time Chief Executive Officer of MOLOGEN AG, will change to the newly founded Strategic Scientific Advisory Council of MOLOGEN, and will thereby remain closely committed to the company. The Council will support the Executive Board in strategic and product development matters.

"We would like to thank Prof. Wittig who has successfully steered MOLOGEN AG for many years, and who was one of the first entrepreneurs in the innovative biotech business," said Dr. Mathias Schlichting, Chairman of the Supervisory Board. "With Dr. Schroff, we have found a capable and experienced successor who will guarantee to continue the success story of MOLOGEN."
