Oct 21 (Reuters) - Catalent president and CEO Alessandro Maselli said on Monday he will continue to lead the contract drugmaker after it is acquired by Novo Holdings, the controlling shareholder of weight-loss drug manufacturer Novo Nordisk .
Maselli's open letter comes on the back of increased criticism regarding Novo Holding's acquisition of Catalent that could threaten competition in weight-loss drugs and cutting-edge gene therapies.
