With these hires, Mammoth brings seasoned executives who are vastly experienced with the CRISPR-based therapeutics and life science markets.
Peter Nell – Chief Business Officer and Head of Therapeutics
Peter joins Mammoth Biosciences as Chief Business Officer and Head of Therapeutics. In this role, he’ll leverage his vast business development and corporate strategy experience from Casebia Therapeutics. Peter co-founded Casebia as a Joint Venture between Bayer HealthCare and CRISPR Therapeutics. He also served as the site head for Casebia’s San Francisco research presence.

Prior to this engagement, Peter held various positions at Bayer HealthCare with increasing responsibilities including R&D, Alliance Management, Business Development & Licensing, and Strategic Marketing. He is listed as co-inventor on more than 45 patents, and author or co-author of several scientific publications and book contributions. A chemist by training with education from the Universities of Freiburg, Heidelberg, and Bristol, Peter received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of Marburg followed by postdoctoral studies in medicinal chemistry at Stanford University.
