Ted Love, M.D., to assist CIRM management

Ted Love, M.D., a member of the independent citizens’ oversight committee, has volunteered to assist CIRM management one to two days a week over the next few months until CIRM appoints a new senior officer to lead the science program. Love has extensive experience bringing medical therapies to the market, most recently serving as president and CEO of Nuvelo, Inc. Prior to that, Love held senior leadership roles at a variety of biotechnology companies. His expertise in developing new medical therapies will be of considerable value, adding to CIRM’s existing in-house medical expertise, as the agency moves toward funding Disease Team Awards this fall.
