Drawn from the Latin word for “sky,” our name reflects our mission to rise above the status quo and deliver therapies that change lives. Our lead program, deupirfenidone (LYT-100), is currently in Phase 3 clinical development with active candidate enrollment, representing a potential new standard of care for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other fibrotic lung diseases.</span></p> <p class="p2">Rising above the status quo takes a team as strong as its science, and we hire and work by five values: <strong>accountability</strong> — owning outcomes and acting like owners; <strong>transparency</strong> — talking straight and building trust; <strong>collaboration</strong> — achieving together what no one could alone; <strong>innovation</strong> — challenging accepted ideas and taking smart risks; and <strong>passion</strong> — bringing energy and heart to the mission. </p></div><p><span data-contrast="none">As Celea prepares for its next stage of clinical, corporate, and capital markets growth, we are seeking a strategic, hands-on Director, Head of Communications to build and execute an integrated external communications program.
