- EpilepsyGTx hired Teresa Nunes as its new chief medical officer, according to STAT+'s "Up and down the ladder" column
- Teresa Nunes previously held the same CMO role at Allucent before moving to EpilepsyGTx
- The hire was highlighted as the feature profile of the week in STAT+'s recurring personnel-moves roundup
Why it matters: The move gives the epilepsy-focused biotech EpilepsyGTx a clinical lead with prior CMO experience at contract-research firm Allucent, reinforcing its drug-development leadership at a time when small gene-therapy players rely heavily on experienced medical officers to shepherd clinical programs.
