Jul 20, 2023

10x Genomics said that on July 18, 2023, Bryan Roberts informed the company of his decision to resign from the board of directors, effective immediately.

Kimberly Popovits replaced Roberts as a member of the board's audit committee, effective July 19.

In a July 20 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, 10x said Roberts' decision to resign was "due solely to professional time commitments and is not due to any disagreement with the company's management team, operations, financial statements, policies or procedures."

Roberts is a partner at Venrock and is involved with several other biotech companies, including Element Biosciences.
