“Przemek brings a wealth of finance experience across the health and life sciences sectors,” said Mark Kotter, Founder and CEO of bit.bio. “His impressive track record, entrepreneurial drive, and connectivity with preeminent investment firms globally make him uniquely qualified to lead our financial strategy.

“There are few truly indispensable companies in the world, and I believe bit.bio is rapidly becoming one of them,” said Obloj. “When I met Mark four years ago, bit.bio was just starting to commercialize its breakthrough cell programming technology. Today, the company is emerging as a global leader in creating and manufacturing human cells with unmatched precision and scale, enabling step-change improvements in drug discovery, research, and ultimately cell therapies. We are on a path to making a positive difference for millions of patients while building a highly valuable business in the process. I am thrilled to join this exceptional team and help build the company towards its full potential.”
