Dr. Otulana added, “I am honored to be joining Revolo’s board of directors and provide my expertise to advance revolutionary treatments with a unique mechanism of action for resetting the immune system from a pro-inflammatory state to a regulated homeostatic state.

I look forward to offering additional perspective on clinical and regulatory strategy as well, as the company advances four Phase 2 trials next year.”
