Exai Bio Appoints Oncology Leader and Former American Cancer Society CEO, Karen E. Knudsen, MBA, PhD, to its Board of Directors

Exai Bio, a next-generation RNA- and AI-based liquid biopsy company, has appointed Karen E. Knudsen, MBA, PhD, to its board of directors. Knudsen is the former CEO of the American Cancer Society (ACS) and its affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN). She is an internationally recognized leader in oncology research and patient advocacy, and a healthcare executive dedicated to the goal of ending cancer as we know it for everyone.

"I’m thrilled to join the board of Exai, where we are focused on the critical challenge of breast cancer detection for women with dense breast tissue," stated Knudsen. "Traditional screening methods often fall short for these women, who are at higher risk. The need is particularly urgent, as there is an alarming trend of younger women being diagnosed with breast cancer. To truly achieve ending cancer as we know it, we must focus on both prevention and early detection of meaningful cancers."
