“With the recent signing of our multi-year partnership with Quest Diagnostics and the successful fundraising, which provides £10.5 million in gross proceeds for the Company, I feel it is an appropriate time for me to stand down, now that Renalytix’s funding and pathway to wide-scale adoption is on track.

“I firmly believe that kidneyintelX.dkdwill revolutionise the way clinicians manage kidney disease and deliver improved patient outcomes.The Quest collaboration gives us the opportunity to rapidly rollout kidneyintelX.dkd testing services across the United States. I am very proud to have been part of Renalytix for the last two years as the business stabilised and we took actions to preserve capital and execute our cash plans.”

James McCullough, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“I would like to extend the full thanks of the Board, all Renalytix staff and shareholders for Julian’s support over the many years since our London flotation in November 2018. Since then, Renalytix has published major data publications, and delivered regulatory, reimbursement and commercial milestones. Julian has been a valued part of our strategic decisions and success. I am delighted by the quality of the candidates with whom we are already engaging for the Chairman position and expect a smooth transition.”
