MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nimble Therapeutics, an industry-leading peptide therapeutics company, today announced the appointment of Pete Gough, D. Phil. as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). In this newly created role, Dr. Gough will spearhead the expansion of Nimble's internal drug discovery capabilities that will enable further development of its own pipeline of proprietary therapeutics and drive Nimble towards becoming a fully integrated biotechnology company.
Dr. Gough has more than 25 years of experience in discovery research, both in academic settings as well as in the life sciences industry, and a track record of success in drug discovery and development, driving research programs into clinical study by building and leading high-performance teams.
