After the Phenoxodiol OVATURE disaster, MEI Pharma (previously Marshall Edwards) probably would not exist today if not for Dan Gold. In the 3 years since joining the Company, Gold has accomplished the following:

- Figured out where and how the Company had gone wrong with OVATURE. Previous management ran a PIII trial that used oral delivery formulation when previous trials showing efficacy used IV delivery.

- Brought in a competent team and well-respected board members.

- Obtained a following and buy recommendations from recognized biotech analysts.

- Efficiently moved ME-344 and ME-143 through Phase I trials

- Brought in Procinostat, which is a potential grand slam hematological compound that he obtained for peanuts.

- Has successfully raised money from recognized funds and biotech investors when needed at each step.
