Arvind will play a critical role in creating a clearer understanding of the Coherus Oncology value proposition with the global investment community as well as with our existing and potential corporate partners.”

“I am excited to join Coherus Oncology at a time when the company has transitioned to fully focus on developing and commercializing innovative cancer therapies which seek to provide a step-change in survival for patients,” said Arvind Sood. “The promising pipeline is being broadly developed across numerous cancers, creating a number of upcoming value drivers that have the potential to benefit both patients and shareholders. It is particularly impressive that Coherus holds global rights to both CHS-114 and casdozokitug, creating potential business development opportunities for ex-US rights to these products that we intend to fully explore.”
