I’m very proud of every member of the Idorsia team, who have worked with a great sense of urgency since “Day 1” of Idorsia in 2017, to ensure that we can build the company into the leading biopharmaceutical company we are destined to be. At Idorsia, with QUVIVIQ, we are going to help millions of patients and impact a wide-spread societal problem.”
