TheraCryf Appoints Dr. Alastair Smith as Non-executive Chair

Evgen Pharma ( (GB:TCF) ) has provided an update.

TheraCryf plc has appointed Dr. Alastair Smith as the Non-executive Chair, following the passing of former Chair Dr. Sue Foden. Dr. Smith, a seasoned life sciences executive, brings over 20 years of experience in public company growth and strategy, notably leading Avacta Group plc to prominence. His appointment is seen as a strong endorsement of TheraCryf’s product portfolio, which includes promising assets in areas of high unmet need, such as the Orexin-1 antagonist candidate for addictive disorders. This strategic move occurs as TheraCryf prepares to advance its Orexin-1 program to clinical readiness, marking a potential significant value inflection point for the company.
