We now look forward to benefiting from her expertise in a new and deeper capacity, especially as our near-term data readouts will require important decisions with respect to advancing various programs and assets.”
“I have enjoyed being close to the emerging science during the development of our IL-12 therapy TheraPlas and our PlaCCine modalities, in addition to getting to know the depth of talent in the company,” Lindborg said. “I am thrilled to assume direct managerial responsibilities as we work to bring these important products and technologies to patients.
