Jennifer commented on her appointment: “I am excited to be joining Clarity as Director of Quality and Regulatory Affairs at this exciting time when the Company is actively progressing its clinical trials in Australia and the U.S. with a number of important regulatory milestones down the track. I am looking forward to driving the regulatory process and developing a seamless regulatory framework that would leverage the existing achievements to progress the pipeline further.”
