Well with Adrian, it might just be that with the Modi1 production problem, they felt they needed more experience in this area. SCIB2 is also likely to be difficult to manufacture with so many targets. Then they may also be looking ahead to Modi2 - potentially another difficult vaccine to make.
I would say there is a likely need there and perhaps also necessity.
With Sam perhaps the TCR experience is key.
But I would also say her experience in leading teams of researchers is important.
Again need and/or necessity.
IMHO, I don't think succession is likely. But that's just my opinion.
