LITTLETON, Colo., Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Novus Biologicals LLC, a leading provider of antibodies and reagents to the life science research community, has hired David Eansor to lead a new corporate-development effort.
Eansor, a 13-year veteran in the life science market who was most recently the president of Thermo Fisher Scientific's bioscience division, joined Novus in January as senior vice-president of corporate development.
