Novocure Ltd. said Thursday Chief Science Officer Eilon Kirson will retire after about 7 years in the role, and 17 years with the company. The cancer treatment company said Kirson's retirement provides the opportunity to separate medical and scientific responsibilities. Uri Weinberg, vice president of clinical development, will assume responsibilities for preclinical and clinical development and regulatory affairs effective immediately, and Ely Benaim will join the company as chief medical officer effective April 1, assuming responsibilities for clinical operations, medical affairs and safety.
