Gothenburg, July 24, 2026 - Elicera Therapeutics AB (publ) ("Elicera"), a clinical stage cell and gene therapy company developing next-generation therapies based on oncolytic viruses and CAR T-cells armed with bystander immune activating properties using the company's commercially available platform iTANK, announces that it is entering the next phase and is consolidating its management in Uppsala, and that the recruitment of a new CEO has begun.
The Board of Directors and the CEO assess that having a consolidated management team on site in Uppsala, close to the core operations, will provide the best conditions for continuing to build the organization required for the next phase and for advancing the Company's development programs. Jamal El-Mosleh, who is based in Gothenburg and for family reasons cannot relocate to Uppsala, will remain as CEO until October 31, 2026, after which he will be available to ensure an orderly handover to his successor. The recruitment process for a new CEO has already begun.
"Elicera stands on solid ground and is now entering a new phase. Over the years, we have, among other things, taken one of our CAR T candidates into the clinic and generated very promising patient data that demonstrates the potential of our iTANK platform - something I am proud and grateful to have been part of building. As the management team now gathers in Uppsala, I am handing over with full confidence and will do my utmost to ensure the transition to a new CEO is as smooth as possible," says Jamal El-Mosleh, CEO of Elicera Therapeutics.
"The Company is entering a new phase where it is considered important that the growing team is gathered for close and daily collaboration in Uppsala, where the Company's development team is already based. As part of this, the Board has decided that the Company's headquarters and future CEO will be based in Uppsala. We have agreed on the terms of the transition and an orderly handover, which will not affect the Company's ongoing operations or its development programs. We would also like to extend a big thank you to Jamal for his significant contributions in making Elicera the company it is today," says Margareth Jorvid, Chairman of the Board of Elicera Therapeutics.
