Nanosphere said that Jeffrey Crisan and Sheli Rosenberg will not stand for re-election to the company's board of directors and will instead retire and resign from the board when their current terms are over at the end of May.

The company plans to reduce the size of its board from seven to six members after the retirements and will nominate six nominees for election at its upcoming meeting.
