New York biotech snaps up Eli Lilly neuro veteran as CSO

Neurological biotech Redpin Therapeutics has snagged Eli Lilly veteran David Bleakman, Ph.D., as its new chief scientific officer.

The startup, founded just last year and a JLABS alumnus, is working on next-gen tech that, the New York-based company explains, upends "traditional drug development by using gene therapy to target an engineered receptor to any cell type responsible for disease and modulating its function with an already-approved drug.”
