Dr Ford also brings experience from Ario Pharma, where he is currently chief executive officer and co-founder, and Metrion Biosciences, where he serves as co-owner and investor director.
Previously, Dr Ford has worked as general manager of Akarna Therapeutics' UK operations, chief operating officer of Dezima Pharma and a team leader for cell-based drug discovery campaigns at BioFocus Discovery.
