GSK influencing internal moves @ Cytodyn?
If you are in the yes camp, here's another twist/thought:
Late 2021 ViiV acquires the bNab used in our LL-PLS FcRn.
Jan. 25th, 2022 CEO fired.
May 2022 Dr. J outside Scientific Advisor.
Feb. 2023 our 2 key patents from Burger & Chen are granted.
GSK asked Cytodyn / Dr. J to take Interim & possibly into CEO with their backing?
___
Nov. 2023 Dr. J becomes Interim CEO.
Months later, CEO.
Dr. J later says it was a lot with Quest & Cytodyn & wasn't sure, but found he liked being CEO more than expected.
Dr. Lataillade left GSK controlled ViiV to oversee Cytodyn's pipeline & collaborations.
Has GSK been all around, in-directly involved with the Cytodyn turn-around, into 2024 & forward ?
___
Also, when the Pipeline was updated, Katango mentioned it would be nice if each indication had drop-down activity info.
Dr. Palmers words yesterday:
"....and explore new treatments that have the potential to truly transform patient outcomes.”
So far, we have HIV & MASH:
Could later be the start of those sub-attachments.
Ya just never know......
