Kym White, who led Edelman’s health sector for over six years, joins Generate:Biomedicines, a drug generation company pioneering a machine learning-powered generative biology platform, as chief corporate affairs officer.

White most recently led communications for Verily, Alphabet Inc.'s research organization devoted to the study of life sciences, and also worked with Isomorphic Labs, another Alphabet unit that focuses on the use of AI in drug development.
