As­traZeneca los­es an­oth­er ex­ec­u­tive to biotech, as Badrul Chowd­hury moves to Savara

An­oth­er ex­ec­u­tive is mi­grat­ing from the ech­e­lons of Big Phar­ma to the cor­ri­dors of small biotech.

In April 2018, Badrul Chowd­hury took his more than two decades of ex­pe­ri­ence at the FDA to As­traZeneca, where he took on the role of se­nior vice pres­i­dent and chief physi­cian-sci­en­tist for res­pi­ra­to­ry, in­flam­ma­tion and au­toim­mu­ni­ty late-stage de­vel­op­ment in bio­phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals R&D.

Af­ter about a year and a half in this role, Chowd­hury is mov­ing to a small Texas biotech called Savara, where he will serve as chief med­ical of­fi­cer.
