People on the Move
Questcor
Questcor Pharmaceuticals, a biologics company focused on difficult-to-treate autoimmune and inflammatory therapies, has hired Rajesh Asarpota as Chief Financial Officer. He will replace Michael H. Mulroy on February 17 when Mulroy becomes executive VP, strategic affairs and general counsel. Asarpota joins Questcor from a role as VP of finance at Life Technologies Corporation.
The company also announced a search for a new global head of manufacturing, after its executive VP and Chief Technical Officer David Medeiros steps down to a non-executive advisory role later in 2014.
Questcor bought contract manufacturing organisation Biovectra one year ago, which now performs the group’s outsourcing.
