2024年3月19日 - 8:00PM
Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: CDT) ("Conduit
Pharmaceuticals" or "Conduit" or the “Company”) today announced the
appointment of Dr. Joanne Holland as Chief Scientific Officer.
Dr. Holland brings over 20 years of experience to the CSO role
at Conduit, having amassed expertise across the entire development
spectrum. This includes a deep knowledge base in identifying drugs
that can be applied across multiple disease states, combining
research and commercial skills to advance drugs to market, and
working with premier scientific thought leaders. She has a specific
focus in solid-form technology and its associated intellectual
property, having held leadership positions at publicly traded
companies in this space, as well as consulting roles for several
pharmaceutical companies on all matters relating to solid-form
technology. She has successfully shepherded multiple solid-form
candidates from discovery stage into the clinic, and is the author
of over 50 solid-form intellectual property patents. Dr. Holland
earned a PhD in chemistry from the University of Leeds, UK, which
was sponsored by Pfizer, Inc., before starting her career at
companies including Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Stylacats
Limited.
In addition, Conduit has engaged Dr. Jeff Lindeman to consult on
intellectual property strategies as part of the Company’s research
and development of its solid-form candidates. An international
speaker, Dr. Lindeman has authored book chapters on patent
strategies relating to pharmaceutical solid-state forms. Prior to
opening his consulting firm Two Notch Solutions, LLC, in 2009, Dr.
Lindeman founded and then successfully sold J.A. Lindeman & Co.
PLLC (now Raphael Bellum PLLC) and has over 30 years of
intellectual property law experience, including as an adjunct
patent law professor at American University and as a United States
patent examiner. His role with the Company is as a consultant, not
legal counsel.
“The appointment of Jo as Chief Scientific Officer underscores
Conduit’s commitment to optimizing the value of our current
intellectual property assets, while concurrently fostering the
creation of new intellectual property,” said Dr. David Tapolczay,
Chief Executive Officer. “Jo and Jeff have over 20 years of
experience working together, and their new leadership roles will
significantly enhance our intellectual property state,
strategically positioning Conduit for future out-licensing
opportunities.”
