Before his tenure at Synairgen, he co-established and led tranScrip, a prominent contract drug development firm, bringing over 27 years of industry expertise.\n\nExpressing enthusiasm about his new role, Dr. Mankowski remarked, “I’m eager to deepen my collaboration with the Synairgen team, directing our efforts towards more refined clinical trials of SNG001 and optimizing its therapeutic potential.”\n\nSynairgen’s CEO, Richard Marsden, commented on the appointment: “Having Marcin onboard full-time as CMO is a pleasure. His continuous guidance on our clinical trials since 2018 not only emphasizes his faith in our drug but also his profound understanding of both the Company and SNG001.\n\nHis extensive experience in spearheading global clinical development initiatives will be crucial as we delve into more advanced clinical trials of SNG001"}
