And here is our regular feature in which we highlight a different person each week. This time around, we note that NextPoint Therapeutics hired Leena Gandhi as chief medical officer. Previously, she worked at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where she was director of the Center for Cancer Therapeutic Innovation.
But all work and no play can make for a dull chief medical officer. So in her spare time, Gandhi likes to bake. “If you’re a biochemist, you have to cook. I got into it during grad school,” she tells us. “I was doing a rotation in a yeast genetics lab and got into baking bread… But I love to make desserts. And I don’t like to make the same thing twice or change the recipe.” So what does she make? “A lot of cakes and cookies,” she says. And what’s her favorite? “Dark chocolate raspberry tart.”
