the management

In 2021 we took important decisions and actions to set the foundations for future growth of our company. I am very pleased with the appointment of Dr. Paul Stoffels as my successor, and strongly believe that we can look forward with confidence, strengthened by our scientific expertise, pipeline, and growing commercial franchise.

Onno van de Stolpe, CEO

This year we refocused our R&D activities and resized spend, while rolling out our commercial activities, with a major effort to launch Jyseleca® throughout Europe. We believe our strong cash balance affords us the opportunity to develop our differentiated pipeline and deliver on our mission of improving people’s lives by helping patients in need of new treatment options.

An inspiring foundation for patient engagement

The launch of our Patient Partnership Charter is a crucial and tangible step forward in our journey to build deeper, long-term partnerships with the patient community. This will ultimately help us to make a difference for patients, their caregivers and their families.
