Corsico, currently chief medical officer at Boehringer, will start at GSK on January 1, reporting to research head Hal Barron.

Barron himself joined GSK at the start of 2018 in a key appointment for new Chief Executive Emma Walmsley, whose top priority is to improve research productivity in pharmaceuticals.
