Shattuck Labs Announces Appointment of Clay Siegall, Ph.D., and Kate Sasser, Ph.D., to its Board of Directors - Seite 2

Dr. Sasser added, "Joining Shattuck’s Board of Directors is an exciting opportunity. Shattuck’s new class of dual function fusion proteins has the potential to create novel therapeutics for patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases. The emerging clinical data with SL-172154 suggests that the CD40 agonism is differentiated from multiple agonists developed in the past. I look forward to working with the outstanding management team and Board of Directors to advance the company’s pipeline, unlock further value from the proprietary Agonist Redirected Checkpoint platform technology, and lay the foundation for sustained growth.”

Dr. Kate Sasser is the Chief Scientific Officer of Tempus. Dr. Sasser brings over 25 years of experience in translational research and precision medicine in biological sciences across academia and the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Prior to Tempus, she led the translational research, precision medicine, and R&D operations organizations within Genmab A/S, a biotech company focused on developing transformative antibody therapeutics as medicine. She also led translational research for oncology at Johnson and Johnson Innovative Medicine (formerly Janssen Pharmaceuticals Companies). Dr. Sasser holds a Ph.D. in Integrated Biomedical Sciences from the Ohio State University as well as a B.S. from Oregon State University.
