Dr. Patel brings more than 25 years of medical affairs leadership experience across dermatology and immunology with deep experience supporting late-stage development, commercial launches, and product lifecycle management.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cVimal brings decades of medical affairs leadership experience, deep dermatology expertise, and a strong track record advancing innovative therapies to patients,\u201d said Wes Kaupinen, Founder and CEO of Palvella. \u201cHe brings the energy and leadership needed to ensure our QTORIN\u2122 programs remain guided by rigorous science and thoughtful medical strategy as we advance targeted therapies for serious, rare skin diseases including microcystic lymphatic malformations and cutaneous venous malformations. Vimal\u2019s experience supporting late-stage development and commercial launches, along with his success building best-in-class Medical Affairs organizations and long-standing relationships across the dermatology and rare disease medical community, will be integral as we lay the foundation for near-term potential QTORIN\u2122 launches and continue to expand our rare disease pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Prior to joining Palvella, Dr. Patel served as Dermatology Therapeutic Area Head, Medical Affairs at Incyte, where he led medical strategy across atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and hidradenitis suppurativa.

Dr. Patel holds a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cPalvella represents a compelling, mission-driven company developing much-needed, innovative therapies for patients living with serious, rare skin diseases for which no FDA-approved treatment options exist,\u201d said Dr. Patel. \u201cPalvella\u2019s patient-first approach and the commitment of the Company\u2019s leadership team to build the leading rare disease company focused on serious, rare skin diseases strongly resonate with me. Through my experience in dermatology, I have seen firsthand the magnitude of unmet need across rare disease patient communities, which reinforces the importance of advancing rigorous science, building strong clinical evidence, and engaging the medical community to ultimately improve patient outcomes. QTORIN\u2122 represents a pioneering platform with the potential to transform the treatment paradigm for many rare skin diseases by enabling targeted therapies designed to address the underlying pathobiology of those diseases, and I am particularly excited to contribute to the development and potential near-term launch of innovative QTORIN\u2122 programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"start\">\n        <strong>About Palvella Therapeutics<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Founded and led by rare disease drug development veterans, Palvella Therapeutics, Inc.
