"Glynn is a deeply technical and seasoned leader with over two decades of invaluable expertise in Data & AI within the Life Science sector," said Jeff McDonald, CEO, Kythera Labs.

"It is a very exciting time in Life Sciences. For decades, we have been collecting vast amounts of data and deepening our molecular understanding of biology in health and disease. Yet turning that data and knowledge into meaningful health outcomes remains challenging because of the gaps between R&D, clinical trials, and what's actually happening at the point-of-care for patients. Bridging this gap represents a step-change in the industry. And doing so requires new thinking and new approaches. It's a pivotal moment in the industry, and Kythera Labs is very well-positioned to seize it," said Glynn Dennis, Jr., Ph.D.
