Altasciences hired two expert advisors to support its strategic growth in Europe, while its preclinical team continues to expand with the addition of two key employees.

Providing strategic input into steering Altasciences’ drug development solutions direction in Europe, Peter Varney joins the company as Pharma Development and Strategy Advisor. Peter brings 40 years of experience in commercial development, strategic alliances, and relationship management at Covance/Labcorp to his new position.
