Grünenthal Group: Maren Thurow starts as new Head Global Communications at Grünenthal
Aachen, Germany, 20th May 2025 - Maren Thurow has today assumed the role of Vice President and Head Global Communications at Grünenthal.

Additionally, Grünenthal continues to advance its key R&D programs, including progressing the Glucocorticoid Receptor Modulator (GRM) and Nociceptin (NOP) Receptor Agonist programs to the next development stages, along with ongoing progress in its Nav compounds. The company is also focusing on accelerating growth in Qutenza™ and its Established Brands, while ensuring a smooth integration of Valinor Pharma and pursuing further strategic acquisitions.
