Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy welcomes two new members to its Board of Directors, further expanding its powerful network of accomplished innovators in science, business, finance and advocacy.
Gbola Amusa, MD, MBA, CFA, partner and chief scientific officer of Chardan, is responsible for advising disruptive health care companies on capital formation strategies, mergers and acquisitions, and other transactions. Dr. Amusa joined Chardan at the end of 2014 to focus on identifying companies that will generate exceptionally high long-term investment returns from creating and sharing in real value for society. While in the Chardan Equity Research Department from 2014 through July 2021, Dr. Amusa’s coverage, top picks and counter-consensus calls were all associated with exceptional alpha generation. In a 2019 study by TipRanks, Dr. Amusa was ranked second out of more than 6,000 Wall Street analysts for his stock-picking performance.
Chen Schor, MBA, CPA, is president and chief executive officer of Adicet Bio, a leader in the field of gamma-delta CAR T-cell therapies for the treatment of cancer. With more than 25 years of global biopharmaceutical leadership experience, he has led several biotech companies across all stages, from formation to early-stage discovery and to publicly traded multi-product companies with significant industry partnerships.
