Ex-Shire ex­ec Phil Vick­ers joins the mi­gra­tion to star­tups, tak­ing the reins at an im­muno-on­col­o­gy biotech

A small im­muno-on­col­o­gy com­pa­ny in Toron­to has at­tract­ed Phil Vick­ers, a big name in the glob­al R&D scene, to take the reins as the start­up’s new CEO.

You might’ve heard of Vick­ers when he was at Shire, where he led the phar­ma gi­ant’s glob­al R&D for sev­en years. When he start­ed there, Vick­ers over­saw a hand­ful of rare dis­ease pro­grams. By the time he left, he was head­ing up 40 pro­grams in clin­i­cal de­vel­op­ment.
