Valeria Fantin, Sanofi global head of oncology research

Af­ter a brief stint in the top can­cer re­search spot at Gilead, Va­le­ria Fan­tin jumps over to Sanofi

Just a few months ago, Gilead said it was set­ting up shop in North Car­oli­na’s Re­search Tri­an­gle, with plans to hire 300 em­ploy­ees in the process. It can now add a new head of on­col­o­gy re­search to that list.

Af­ter a short stint at Gilead, Va­le­ria Fan­tin is jump­ing over to Sanofi as the phar­ma gi­ant’s newest glob­al head of on­col­o­gy re­search. The Dart­mouth grad has bounced around a few times over the last decade or so, rack­ing up ex­pe­ri­ence at some of the biggest com­pa­nies in the in­dus­try and adding a hand­ful of block­busters and first-in-class drugs to her ré­sumé.
