"As we complete our strategic transformation, we are launching Biora Therapeutics to reflect our mission going forward, which is to reimagine therapeutics and their delivery," said Adi Mohanty, Chief Executive Officer. "By creating innovative smart pills designed for targeted drug delivery to the GI tract and for systemic, needle-free delivery of biotherapeutics, we are developing therapies to improve patients' lives."
