From our team

Throughout my career building sickle cell programs in academic settings, I've always been driven by the science and patient impact. The decision to leave big pharma and join Illexcor as CMO reconnected me with the immediate scientific impact and program development agility that initially drew me to sickle cell disease research. Here, decision-making is streamlined, we can pivot quickly based on emerging data, and I'm directly involved in shaping our clinical strategy. The scientific and medical agility we have at Illexcor creates an environment where breakthrough innovations can truly thrive.
