NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Curagen Corp. (CRGN) founder, Jonathan Rothberg, plans to step down as chief executive when his replacement is named.

Company officials weren't immediately available to explain why Rothberg is relinquishing the chief executive post or to disclose if he will remain with the company in another capacity.

In a press release Tuesday, the biotechnology concern said it wants to hire a chief executive to turn Curagen's pipeline of treatment candidates into drugs. The company develops therapies for the areas of oncology, inflammatory diseases and diabetes.

Director Patrick Zenner will chair the committee searching for a new chief executive.

Shares of Curagen hit a year low of $3.75 before ending Monday's session at $3.90 on Nasdaq.

The company's shares reached a year high of $7.95 on Dec. 2.
