Earlier in his career, Mr. Giguere held roles at Boston Scientific Corporation and in the business law practice of Goodwin Procter LLP.

With EG-70, enGene has an opportunity to introduce a novel, non-viral, fit-for-purpose class of genetic medicine specifically designed for ease-of-use by the community urologists who are on the front lines of treating this patient group. I look forward to working alongside the team to further our mission, with the ultimate goal of fundamentally improving patient care."
