NEW YORK & SUZHOU & SHANGHAI, China–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TandemAI today announced the appointment of Steve Swann, Ph.D., to the newly created position of Chief Scientific Officer. Dr. Swann joins TandemAI with nearly 20 years of research and research leadership experience in medicinal and computational chemistry at large and emerging pharmaceutical companies, most recently at Exscientia, where he was Vice President of Medicinal Chemistry (US).

�Steve is a leader in integrating advanced computational methods with medicinal chemistry for small molecule drug design who brings an outstanding track record in drug discovery,” said Jeff He, MBA, TandemAI’s co-founder and CEO. “He has been instrumental to bringing multiple drugs from discovery into clinical trials, two of which are marketed.

Dr. Swann joined Exscientia from Silicon Therapeutics, a physics-driven drug discovery company now part of Roivant Discovery, where he held several research leadership positions of increasing responsibility, most recently Vice President Chemistry and Design.
