HAYWARD, Calif., Jan. 20, 2021 – RefleXion Medical, a therapeutic oncology company pioneering biology-guided radiotherapy* (BgRT) as a new modality for treating all stages of cancer, today announced the appointment of Jeff Holifield, J.D. as vice president and head of legal effective immediately. Holifield will report directly to President and Chief Executive Officer, Todd Powell.

Holifield has worked in the technology sector for over 25 years, with a focus on SaaS licensing, cloud-based services, marketing partnerships, regulatory compliance, manufacturing, and supply chain issues. He joins RefleXion from Nutanix, a leader in cloud computing, where he was associate general counsel in charge of leading the legal transition from a hardware model to a subscription model. Before his tenure at Nutanix, Holifield held senior legal services positions at Microsoft, Ericsson, Sun Microsystems, Sony Electronics and CenturyLink.

The RefleXion™ X1 machine with BgRT is designed to overcome the technical limitations that restrict radiotherapy to one or two tumors. Instead, it will one day allow radiotherapy to reach multiple tumors during the same treatment session, including tumors that move due to patient motion, such as breathing or digestion.

About RefleXion Medical

RefleXion is a privately held therapeutic oncology company developing the first biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT) machine, with the potential to move beyond single tumor therapy to one day treat multiple metastatic tumors throughout the body in the same treatment session. Currently, the RefleXion X1 machine is cleared for the delivery of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The company is also developing BgRT, which incorporates positron-emission tomography (PET) data to enable tumors to continuously signal their location. The BgRT technology will synchronize these data with the linear accelerator to direct radiotherapy to tumors with sub-second latency.

*The RefleXion™ X1 is cleared for SBRT/SRS/IMRT treatments. BgRT is limited by U.S. law to Investigational use.
