I look forward to continuing my work with Macrophage Pharma’s executive team and Board of Directors to unlock the full therapeutic and commercial potential of the technology across a spectrum of human diseases.”

Venkat Reddy has a successful track record and extensive strategic and management experience from senior executive roles in both European and US biotech and pharma, including Glenmark Pharmaceuticals (SVP, Global Head of Translational Sciences), Pfizer (Senior Director, Strategic Alliances and Partnerships, Centers for Therapeutic Innovation), Sanofi (Senior Director, Head, Bio-Innovation France: Global Biotherapeutics) and Novartis (Group leader, GNF).
