Dr. Mauro will lead Recursion’s pipeline into and through clinical development, including its five programs currently in the clinic, beginning June 1.

“We are incredibly excited to have Dr. Mauro join our team at Recursion at such an important time in the development of our clinical pipeline,” said Chris Gibson, Ph.D., Co-founder and CEO at Recursion. “With his extensive background in oncology drug development and a proven track record of advancing numerous Investigational New Drug candidates, Dr. Mauro's expertise will be a strong addition to our executive leadership team.”
