And here is our regular feature in which we highlight a different person each week. This time around, we note that Lyra Therapeutics hired Richard Nieman as chief medical officer. Previously, he worked at Norgine, where he was chief development and medical officer.

But all work and no play can make for a dull chief medical officer.
