Before this he spent six years with Bristol-Myers Squibb successively as medical director, executive director infectious diseases, immunology and dermatology and vice-president international medical organisation in Portugal and Belgium.

Joining TxCell’s management team and reporting to chief executive Frederic Hammel he will be responsible for the clinical department, clinical operations, clinical trials management and design.
