STAT’s latest Pharmalot “Up and down the ladder” installment, dated October 2, 2026, reports that SonoThera hired Adam Shaywitz as chief medical officer. STAT says Shaywitz previously held the same role at BridgeBio. The public page reveals this spotlight but not the full roundup, which is marked STAT+ exclusive.
What the October 2, 2026, roundup reports
In the publicly accessible portion of its October 2 installment, STAT reports that SonoThera hired Adam Shaywitz as chief medical officer and that he previously held that role at BridgeBio. The report is attributed to STAT Pharmalot writer Ed Silverman; the accessible text is not an independent confirmation from either company. Read the STAT article.
Why the complete list is not available here
STAT marks the installment as STAT+ exclusive. Its public page does not reveal the rest of the personnel roundup, so the Shaywitz appointment should not be read as the complete list of moves. Readers seeking the full installment can check STAT’s page for access options. STAT’s Pharmalot index lists the recurring feature.
