BOSTON, May 15 -- Surface Logix today announced that Jim Mahoney, President & CEO, will be stepping down from his current position to pursue other interests. Mr. Mahoney will maintain a consulting relationship with the company for the foreseeable future. Steven Gillis, Ph.D., Managing Director at ARCH Venture Partners will assume the role of Executive Chairman until a new CEO is appointed.
"The Board, shareholders and employees of Surface Logix would like to thank Jim for his considerable contributions to the Company.

Everyone at Surface Logix wishes Jim well in his decision to pursue other interests," said Steven Gillis. "Surface Logix is well positioned to move forward both of our cardiovascular programs, SLx-4090 and SLx-2101, into Phase 2b studies.
