And here is our regular feature in which we highlight a different person each week. This time around, we note that Rome Therapeutics hired Keith Wilcoxen as executive vice president, early development. Previously, he worked at Zenas BioPharma, where he was senior vice president, global research, and before that, he was vice president of translational research at Boston Pharmaceuticals.
But all work and no play can make for a dull early development exec. So in his spare time, Wilcoxen likes to do woodworking. “I use old, live-edged wood with bark on it. I build a wood frame around it so I can pour epoxy, which makes it look live rivers running down the table. And then the epoxy hardens out. From there, I make large-scale cutting boards, tables, coasters… My dad taught me woodworking when I was young, but I wasn’t very precise. Cabinets are not my thing, but cutting boards and tables, I love it.” Does he sell any? “No, I just give them away.”
