Zelluna promotes Emilie Gauthy to chief technology officer

3 February 2026

Norwegian cell therapy developer Zelluna (OSE: ZLNA) has promoted Emilie Gauthy to chief technology officer, effective immediately. Ms Gauthy joined the company in 2022 and has led manufacturing and chemistry, manufacturing and controls work as Zelluna prepares to enter the clinic.

Ms Gauthy will continue to oversee manufacturing and CMC strategy as Zelluna advances its lead program, scales production capacity and expands its off-the-shelf TCR-NK pipeline.

Zelluna said her leadership was central to establishing a scalable manufacturing process that enabled submission of a Clinical Trial Application for ZI-MA4-1 to the UK medicines regulator in December 2025. A GMP clinical batch has been produced and quality tested, with initial clinical data expected from mid-2026.
