Woebot Health, maker of a mental health chatbot, recently appointed Dr. Robbert Zusterzeel as vice president of regulatory science and strategy.

Zusterzeel comes to Woebot from IQVIA, where he served as senior director of U.S. regulatory science and strategy. He'd previously worked at the FDA for nearly 10 years. 

"We believe in and have embraced regulation from the start and have expanded our science-based product organization, which makes it the perfect time to add deep expertise to accelerate the process toward clearance. Robbert’s unique mix of clinical, scientific and regulatory skills and passion for this emerging space will be instrumental in bringing our clinically-proven products to market," Woebot founder and president Alison Darcy said in a statement.

In March, the startup added a $9.5 million investment from Leaps by Bayer, building on a $90 million Series B from July 2021. Woebot also received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for its investigational postpartum depression digital therapeutic, WB001, last year. Additionally it's working on a product for adolescent depression, dubbed WB002.

Decentralized clinical trial startup Curebase named Sean Lynch as vice president of clinical operations.

Lynch previously worked as senior director of clinical project management at tech-driven clinical trial company TrialSpark. He'd also served as senior director of global sales and senior project manager at clinical research organization Syntactz.

"Sean is an experienced clinical trial professional with a strong business development background, which makes him ideal to lead our clinical operations," Curebase founder and CEO Tom Lemberg said in a statement. "His ability to organize and motivate clinical trial teams and his project management training will drive growth for the company while opening up opportunities for more people to participate in medical research."

Earlier this year, Curebase raised $40 million in Series B funding.

"Lon is an experienced technology leader with a rare combination of vision, creativity, heart and drive," Zack Gray, cofounder and CEO of Ophelia, said in a statement. "We couldn't have found a better match for our mission, culture and team. We're extremely proud to work with him and to build the core technology together that will power the future of addiction treatment."

Ophelia raised two rounds of funding in 2021: a $15 million Series A announced in April and a $50 million Series B from December.

"These two new product leads are key appointments who are more than prepared to provide the leadership that will make our product vision a reality in the coming years."
