SOMERVILLE, Mass., April 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Finch Therapeutics Group, Inc. (“Finch” or “Finch Therapeutics”) (Nasdaq:FNCH), a clinical-stage microbiome therapeutics company leveraging its Human-First Discovery^® platform to develop a novel class of orally administered biological drugs, today announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 20%.
