RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evecxia Therapeutics today announced the appointment of C.R. Sincock II to the Board of Directors, effective February 11, 2025.
Mr. Sincock is the founder and managing director of Transhuman Capital, a venture firm investing in the development of therapeutics to solve humanity’s biggest medical challenges. Transhuman Capital is an investor in Evecxia.
“I am thrilled to join Evecxia Therapeutics’ Board at a pivotal moment when the company is poised to embark on Phase 2 trials in indications with significant unmet need within psychiatry,” said Mr. Sincock. “Given the millions of patients who are inadequately responding to current therapies, there is an urgent imperative for novel treatments that meet key criteria for a successful psychiatric drug: established clinical evidence, mechanistic novelty, and scalability across various healthcare settings. Evecxia’s drug candidates align with these criteria, possessing the potential to make a substantial and enduring positive impact on psychiatric care.”
“We are delighted with the capabilities C.R. brings to Evecxia,” said Jacob Jacobsen, CEO and Co-founder of Evecxia. ”C.R.’s track record within finance, management, and biotech company building will help guide Evecxia through our next stage of growth.”
