Omega Therapeutics appointed Kaan Certel as chief executive officer of the Cambridge, Mass.-based biotechnology company.
Certel, who has been Omega's chief business officer since May, will succeed Mahesh Karande, who decided to leave the company for personal reasons.
Certel is an industry veteran with over 20 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field and academia. Before Omega, he served as the chief business officer for BioCity Biopharma.
Under its new leadership, the company plans to focus its capital resources on three prioritized programs in obesity, regenerative medicine and metabolic indications that will leverage its value proposition.
