The entire C-suite is buying aggressively at current levels, with the CEO alone deploying $7.55M. This is one of the strongest insider conviction signals possible for a micro-cap biotech. Monitor for near-term catalysts (data readouts, partnership announcements) that could justify this level of insider buying. The 86% analyst bullish consensus supports the bullish read.
