“Aspen's autologous iPSC-derived approach is redefining what's possible in neurodegenerative disease,” Shreeniwas said. “I'm excited to help deliver a rigorous registrational program for Parkinson's patients, partnering across clinical, regulatory, technical operations, and medical affairs.”
Before joining Aspen Neuroscience, Shreeniwas served as chief medical officer at Cystetic Medicines, Excision BioTherapeutics, Bright Minds Biosciences, Soleno Therapeutics, and ImmunoMet Therapeutics.
