Former CEO of LigoCyte, Mike McCue, dies from cancer

The former CEO of LigoCyte Pharmaceuticals http://www.ligocyte.com/ and a leader of Montana’s biotechnology industry died last week from skin cancer.

Mike McCue of Bozeman was hired as CEO of LigoCyte in 1998, a position that he remained in until just a few days before his death last Friday. He was 58.

McCue oversaw LigoCyte’s expansion from a company of only six employees to one today that now has 50. He also helped lay the groundwork for Montana’s biotech industry, which is centered in Bozeman.

"He essentially put in place the business infrastructure in the company," LigoCyte executive vice-president Robert Bargatze said.
