Insmed Inc. (Nasdaq:INSM) today announced that Steve Glover, 48, has
joined Insmed’s management team as President
of the newly formed Follow-on Biologics business, effective June 22,
2007. Mr. Glover will be responsible for leading the development of
Insmed’s follow-on biologics capability and

Mr. Glover brings nearly 25 years of business experience in

the talented management team that Insmed has assembled -- a team able to
leverage Insmed’s advanced knowledge of
biologics development, its manufacturing capability, and its skilled
scientific and technical workforce to make it the first U.S.-based
biotechnology company to develop a comprehensive portfolio of follow-on
biologics. This is an organization that knows the drug industry is on
the threshold of its second generic revolution.”

benefiting from Steve’s extensive leadership
experience in the bio-pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors. His
expertise will be instrumental in providing the strategic direction and
tactical capability to take full advantage of our unique combination of
