Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer, and having the chance to engage with people who are on the forefront of this battle, people who are developing truly innovative therapies, is a genuine pleasure.” With a degree in Philosophy and Politics from the University of Leeds, Alastair’s greatest career achievement to date is placing Dr Thorsten Graef in the position of Chief Medical Officer at Acepodia, Inc. Having worked with Thorsten for nearly a year, identifying and discussing various potential opportunities with him, Alastair was delighted to introduce him to Acepodia when the Chief Medical Officer vacancy came up. With Thorsten’s experience and knowledge in the field, Acepodia has a high chance of developing a game-changing therapy that will drastically improve the lives of people suffering with cancer.
