HAYWARD, Calif., Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTH), a biopharmaceutical company developing drugs to treat serious diseases associated with abnormal auto-immune responses and inflammation, today announced that it has appointed Dr. Peter Thompson to its Board of Directors. Currently, Dr. Thompson is a venture partner with OrbiMed and is the founder and Managing Director of Strategicon Partners, an investment and management services company. In 2009, Dr. Thompson retired as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Trubion Pharmaceuticals, which he co-founded. He is also the former Vice President and General Manager of Chiron Informatics and held various executive positions at Becton Dickinson. Dr. Thompson is an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year recipient, an inventor on numerous patents, a board-certified internist and oncologist, and was on staff at the National Cancer Institute following his internal medicine training at Yale University.

Dr. Thompson will be succeeding Dr. A. Rachel Leheny, who has informed the company of her decision to resign from the Board of Directors. Dr. Leheny has served as a member of the board since August 2008.  Dr. Thompson will join the Board as a Class II Director and will stand for re-election by the company's stockholders at Anthera's 2011 Annual Meeting.

"Peter is a deeply experienced executive and his addition will offer new insight and perspectives as Anthera advances its late stage pipeline," said Paul Truex, Anthera's President and Chief Executive Officer. "I would like to thank Rachel for her invaluable guidance as a Director, we will miss having her perspective as we move forward."
