His insights will enable the company to rapidly scale the SnapShot™ platform, enhancing access and convenience in biologic drug delivery by bringing high-dose subcutaneous formulations to market.

“The rapid growth of biologics is creating an urgent need for scalable, high-dose, subcutaneous delivery solutions,” said Doug Hecker. “I’m excited to leverage my expertise to advance the company’s manufacturing capabilities and support its efforts to transform biologic drug delivery.”
