"The opportunity to learn from and collaborate with him is incredibly humbling, and we eagerly anticipate the transformative impact this partnership will bring."

"Lindus Health puts great emphasis on aligning incentives with sponsors, and their risk-sharing, milestone-based payment model is much needed in the CRO industry," states Dr. Garnett. "Their patient and technology-centric approach to clinical trials will greatly benefit biotech and pharmaceutical companies, enabling faster, cost-effective studies. I'm eager to support Lindus Health's growth in CNS, women's health, and metabolic disease therapeutics - areas where my contributions have played a pivotal role in advancing treatments."
