Huntsville, Alabama--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2024) - Kalm Therapeutics (Kalm Tx) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Tomoko Maeda-Chubachi, M.D., Ph.D., as our Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Maeda-Chubachi, a board-certified dermatologist will oversee the design and submission of our Phase 1b/2a clinical trial protocol to the FDA.
