“Ajim’s financial acumen and his deep understanding of the drug development landscape will be a considerable asset as we advance our lead program to strengthen synaptic integrity through ongoing clinical trials and continue to build out our pipeline,” said Adam Rosenberg, Rodin’s CEO. “We’re thrilled to welcome him aboard.”
Tamboli comes to Rodin from Asymmetry Capital Management where he was focused on life sciences investing.
