Jonathon Marks-Bluth, Ph.D., VP, Business Development at Myricx Bio said:

I’m impressed with Myricx’s NMT inhibitor chemistry platform and its potential to bring much needed novel payloads to antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapies. The company also has an exciting pipeline of ADCs that address significant unmet needs in oncology. I’m excited to join the Myricx team and be given the opportunity to help guide and execute on its global partnering strategy at this important time.
