“We are delighted to welcome Gabriela to our team. She brings deep clinical development expertise in immune-inflammatory diseases, a strong record of registrational and regulatory success, and hands-on experience leading global programs and teams. Her background in renal and complement-driven diseases is highly complementary to our efforts, and her leadership will be invaluable as we advance izicopan into its next phase of development and continue to build long-term value across our pipeline.”

Gabriela Alperovich, Senior Vice President & Global Head of Clinical Development at InflaRx

“I am excited to join InflaRx at such a pivotal moment for the Company and its complement-targeted platform. Throughout my career, I have focused on immune-inflammatory diseases, including renal diseases such as IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, or ANCA-associated vasculitis, where modulating the complement system can be truly disease-modifying for patients. InflaRx's differentiated approach to C5a and C5aR inhibition, together with the best-in-class potential emerging for izicopan, represents a compelling opportunity to bring meaningful new therapies to patients with high unmet need. I look forward to working with the dedicated team at InflaRx to advance these programs.”
