Eugen Leo

Eugen Leo serves as Chief Medical Officer at CatalYm. Prior, he served as CMO for Rigontec, where he helped facilitate the company’s acquisition by MSD (known as Merck & Co. in North America). Eugen brings more than 20 years of experience in industrial phase I-III development of targeted molecules in the immuno-oncology space, ranging from kinase inhibitors, antibodies and antibody derivatives to vaccines, antisense molecules and cell therapies. His contributions were instrumental in reaching proof-of-concept for the BiTE (bi-specific T-cell engager) antibody platform, ultimately leading to Micromet’s acquisition by Amgen in 2012, as well as for the development of various other first-in-class molecules in the immuno-oncology space.
