Leadership responsibilities aligned with strategic priorities
As part of this leadership alignment, Joel Parker, Ph.D., a co-founder of REVEAL GENOMICS, has been appointed as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). In this role, Dr. Parker will continue to define the company’s scientific vision, drive innovation across its biomarker programs, and expand collaboration at the intersection where genomics, data science, and translational research meet.

Dr. Parker has led REVEAL’s strategy in science, computational biology, and artificial intelligence since the company’s inception. He is internationally recognized for his contributions to cancer genomics, including the molecular classification of breast cancer and the integration of genomic and multimodal data into clinically actionable frameworks.

Ana Vivancos, Ph.D., a co-founder of REVEAL GENOMICS, has been appointed as Director of NGS and Genomic Technologies, transitioning from her prior role as scientific and technological consultant. In her new position, she will lead the company’s genomic and technological infrastructure to ensure analytical robustness, regulatory compliance (including IVDR), and the scalability of REVEAL’s assays across international markets.

Dr. Vivancos is a leading authority on next-generation sequencing and molecular diagnostics and has played a central role in building and validating REVEAL’s internal genomic testing platform.

Aleix Prat, M.D., Ph.D., a co-founder of REVEAL GENOMICS, has assumed the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors, thereby strengthening the company’s strategic governance, long-term vision, and global partnerships. In this capacity, Dr. Prat will focus on supporting the company’s overall strategy, guiding clinical adoption initiatives, and promoting collaboration across academia, healthcare systems, and industry.

A shared leadership vision for advancing precision oncology
Patricia Villagrasa, a co-founder and the Chief Executive Officer of REVEAL GENOMICS, commented: “ This evolution reflects the way we already work. Each co-founder has a clearly defined and complementary role, which lets us translate strong science into clinically meaningful diagnostics, while continuing to grow internationally.”

Aleix Prat added: “ Our priority is to ensure that REVEAL’s genomic assays are supported by high-quality clinical evidence and that they are integrated responsibly into routine clinical practice, while maintaining a long-term strategic vision for the company.”

Joel Parker stated: “ REVEAL’s strength lies in the integration of genomics, data science, and clinical insight. As CSO, my focus is on continuing to advance that integration in order to deliver innovation with real clinical impact.”

Ana Vivancos noted: “ Operational excellence and a robust technological platform are essential for delivering high-quality diagnostics at scale. This role underscores the importance of technology, quality, and execution as REVEAL expands globally. ”

REVEAL GENOMICS develops high-value diagnostic tools designed to improve outcomes for patients with cancer by supporting more precise treatment selection. The company’s portfolio includes HER2DX, the first genomic test clinically validated to provide prognostic information and support treatment decision-making in early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, as well as TNBCDX and DNADX, which extend the company’s precision oncology capabilities to triple-negative breast cancer and circulating tumor DNA analysis, respectively.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran fired on targets across the Middle East while American and Israeli airstrikes hit the Islamic Republic early Friday as the war neared the end of its fifth week unabated and the U.N. Security Council prepared to meet over Tehran’s stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite claims from the U.S. and Israel that Iran’s military capabilities have been all but destroyed, Tehran has continued to keep the pressure on Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors. Bahrain and Kuwait both reported early morning barrages from Iran, while Israel warned of incoming missiles.

Activists reported strikes around Tehran and the central city of Isfahan, but it wasn’t immediately clear what was hit.

Iran’s attacks on Gulf region energy infrastructure and its tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas transits in peacetime, have sent oil prices skyrocketing and is impacting global economies.

Spot prices of Brent crude, the international standard, were around $109 early Friday, up more than 50% from Feb. 28 when Israel and the U.S. started the war with their attacks on Iran.

Shipping had flowed freely through the strait before the war, but U.S. President Donald Trump has said it’s not now Washington’s responsibility to get the waterway reopened, instead putting the onus on others, saying this week that the countries that depend more on fuel shipped through Hormuz should “build some delayed courage” and go “take it.”

The U.N. Security Council was expected to vote Saturday on a proposal from Bahrain that would authorize defensive action to ensure vessels can safely transit the strait. Bahrain’s initial draft would have allowed countries to “use all necessary means” to secure the strait, but Russia, China and France — who have veto power on the Council — expressed opposition to approving the use of force.

Speaking Thursday in South Korea, French President Emmanuel Macron said the American expectation that the Strait of Hormuz could be reopened by force was unrealistic.

Macron said a military operation “would take an infinite amount of time and would expose anyone passing through the strait to coastal threats from (Iran’s) Revolutionary Guard." He added that reopening of the strait “can only be done in coordination with Iran,” through negotiations that would follow a potential ceasefire.

Talks organized by Britain and involving more than 40 countries focused on political rather than military means to secure the strait. The nations, which didn't include the U.S., urged increased diplomatic pressure on Iran and possible sanctions.

More than 1,900 people have been killed in Iran during the war, while 19 have been reported dead in Israel. More than two dozen people have died in Gulf states and the occupied West Bank, while 13 U.S. service members have been killed.

More than 1,300 people have been killed and more than 1 million displaced in Lebanon, where Israel has launched a ground invasion in its fight with the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militant group. Ten Israeli soldiers have also died there.
