Date:11/1/2007

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Amira Pharmaceuticals, a small molecule pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of compounds to treat inflammatory disease linked to the eicosanoid pathway, today announced the appointment of Isabelle Raizon-Ounis, M.D., as vice president of development.

Dr. Raizon-Ounis brings 20 years of pharmaceutical experience to Amira, most recently serving as a clinical research & licensing executive with Roche Palo Alto. She began her pharmaceutical career at Hoechst Marion Roussel as the head of immunology in medical affairs before moving on to hold numerous clinical positions within the company in immunology, allergy and asthma. In addition to Roche and Hoechst Marion Roussel, Raizon-Ounis has held similar clinical positions at Rhone Poulenc Rorer and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

"Isabelle's commercial and regulatory experience, coupled with her deep knowledge of inflammatory disease, will be crucial as we build on the great science of our discovery team to advance a number of product candidates through clinical trials," said Bob Baltera, CEO of Amira. "Great science is our foundation and we're in the fortunate position to now build a world-class development team, led by Dr. Raizon-Ounis, who will take that science forward."

"Amira's demonstrated ability to quickly identify and move drug candidates into the clinic is impressive," said Raizon-Ounis. "I look forward to helping drive these drug candidates through rigorous development testing and into the market, where there is still tremendous need for improved treatments for diseases such as asthma."
