The company expects Dr. Rote to remain in his role through that date to assist with transition. Effective July 1, 2026, Chief Medical Officer Jula Inrig, M.D., will be named Executive Vice President, Head of Research & Development and Chief Medical Officer and is expected to assume the responsibilities currently overseen by Dr. Rote. The company also expects to enter into a consulting arrangement with Dr. Rote after his retirement.
