He also held positions at GlaxoSmithKline and Eli Lilly.
“We are thrilled to have Rob on board, and to be able to bring his deep scientific and financial experience to the helm of our investor relations,” said Antoine Papiernik, Managing Partner and Chairman of the firm. “Rob’s hire reflects the firm’s broader expansion and thoughtful, strategic growth,” he added. Mr. Papiernik said the company has more than €2 billion under management and that €1 billion has been raised in the last four years, while its team has continued to grow steadily.
Dr. Carroll said “Sofinnova Partners continues to be a pioneer across the life sciences value chain with the recent addition of several new fund strategies, from acceleration to later-stage, and dedicated vehicles for gene and cell therapies, as well as industrial biotechnology. My priority will be to communicate the value our strategies can bring to the portfolios of our investors.”
Dr. Carroll completed his post-doctoral research at Brock University in Canada, with a focus on the semi-synthesis of morphine and its analogues. This work was carried out in collaboration with Noramco (then a part of Johnson & Johnson) and is the subject of a number of patents.
