Thomas Lynch takes board seat at Infinity Pharmaceuticals

Infinity Pharmaceuticals Inc., a cancer drug discovery and development company in Cambridge, has named Thomas Lynch, director of the Yale Cancer Center and physician-in-chief at Smilow Cancer Hospital, to its board of directors.

Infinity (Nasdaq:INFI) was founded in 2001. In September 2006, the company completed its acquisition of Discovery Partners International Inc., a publicly traded company based in San Diego. Following that deal, reportedly worth about $100 million, Infinity became publicly traded.
