Today, Inotrem is in an extremely favorable position as it engages its next stage of growth focusing on product development and making regulatory advances. I look forward to contributing to Inotrem’s continued success” says Jean-Jacques Garaud.

Moreover, the company has secured a strategic licensing agreement with Roche Diagnostic for a companion diagnostics test to stratify septic shock patients.
