I am inspired by our dedicated staff, and I am eager to work with them in my new role to build on this success. As we look ahead to 2023 and beyond, we are well positioned to innovate, understand the rapidly evolving treatment landscape, communicate complex scientific data with clarity, and grow our business in sustainable and healthy ways.”
