Skye Bioscience Appoints Chris Twitty, PhD, as Chief Scientific Officer
It emerged this morning that the company hired its very first Chief Scientific Officer in the form of Chris Twitty, who holds a Ph.D. In this situation, it could be a good idea for investors to consider taking a closer look at the credentials of Twitty in this particular role. His experience in the drug development research and life sciences research space spans more than a quarter of a century. He is going to be one of the more important members of the executive team at the company and will also be responsible for heading the strategic development of the scientific efforts of the company.
He has been responsible for significant research and development efforts through the course of his career and has also expanded medicine pipelines at the companies he has been involved with. On the other hand, he has also worked with a range of Investigational New Drug applications through the course of his career. It is going to be interesting to see how he gets along at Skye.
