Swiss biotech Novimmune has appointed Guillaume de Sampaïo as global head of project management in a role that will also see him sit on its senior management team.

Novimmune chairman and CEO Eduard Holdener said: “With the progression of our R&D pipeline, project management becomes increasingly a crucial element in supporting our growth strategy.
“Guillaume de Sampaïo will help us to further advance Novimmune as we move closer to the market with our lead program, NI-0501.”
