- Tyler Jacks, director del Instituto Koch para la Investigación Oncológica Integral del Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts (MIT), se une al equipo como presidente del Comité Asesor Científico de Skyhawk

- Tai Wong, doctor y anterior vicepresidente de Biología de Peloton Therapeutics, empresa ahora adquirida por Merck, se une a Skyhawk como vicepresidente de Biología Oncológica

WALTHAM, Massachusetts, 9 de julio de 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Skyhawk Therapeutics, Inc. ("Skyhawk") ha anunciado hoy que el Dr. Tyler Jacks se ha unido a la empresa como presidente del Comité Asesor Científico y el Dr. Tai Wong como vicepresidente de Biología Oncológica.

El Dr. Tyler Jacks es un científico distinguido, director del Instituto Koch para la Investigación Oncológica Integral del Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts (MIT), y con una reputación que le precede en los centros internacionales de investigaciones básicas contra el cáncer, además de ser copresidente del "Moonshot" Blue Ribbon Panel sobre el cáncer de la Casa Blanca, un panel de expertos en oncología. Dirige un importante laboratorio de investigación en el Instituto Koch, llevando a cabo estudios de vanguardia en genética e inmunología del cáncer. El Dr. Jacks se licenció en Biología por Harvard en 1983, hizo su doctorado por la Universidad de California en San Francisco, y allí se formó con el Premio Nobel Harold Varmus.

"El Dr. Tyler Jacks es un investigador de talla internacional en la biología del cáncer", declaró Bill Haney, cofundador y consejero delegado de Skyhawk Therapeutics. "La dilatada experiencia de Tyler en biología del cáncer tiene un valor inconmensurable para su cargo de liderazgo al frente del Comité Asesor Científico de Skyhawk, así como para la aplicación de la plataforma tecnológica SkySTAR™ a moléculas pequeñas diseñadas para alterar los modificadores de empalme del ARN de forma selectiva para dianas de enfermedades tanto oncológicas como neurológicas".

Skyhawk también ha incorporado al Dr. Tai Wong como vicepresidente de Biología Oncológica. El Dr. Wong dejó recientemente su cargo en Peloton Therapeutics donde ejercía de vicepresidente de Biología. En Peloton dirigió el equipo responsable del avance de biología preclínica y traslacional de las novedosas moléculas pequeñas y candidatas terapéuticas para dianas del factor 2α (HIF-2α) inducible por hipoxia en el tratamiento de pacientes con cáncer, así como de otros programas de oncología del canal de exploración de Peloton. Peloton está en proceso de ser adquirida en este momento por Merck para así reforzar el canal de oncología de Merck a través de la experiencia técnica única y programa de liderazgo de Peloton en biología HIF-2α, por un valor total de 2200 millones de dólares en efectivo e hitos potenciales. Antes de trabajar en Peloton, el Dr. Wong trabajó en Bristol Myers Squibb durante 19 años, y más recientemente como director de Grupo en Oncology Drug Discovery, donde dirigió equipos que desarrollaban inhibidores de proteínas quinasas y otras dianas.

"El Dr. Tai Wong aporta a Skyhawk un sólido historial de experiencia en biología oncológica preclínica y traslacional", dijo Kathleen McCarthy, cofundadora y directora de Ventas de Skyhawk Therapeutics. "Esperamos que sus aportaciones y dilatada experiencia sean fundamentales a medida que avanzamos en nuestros objetivos oncológicos internos y damos inicio a nuestras primeras asociaciones oncológicas, por lo que estamos encantados de darle la bienvenida a nuestro equipo científico".

Acerca de Skyhawk Therapeutics
Skyhawk Therapeutics está comprometida a la hora de descubrir, desarrollar y comercializar terapias que utilicen su novedosa plataforma SkySTAR™ o Skyhawk Small molecule Therapeutics for Alternative splicing of RNA (terapias de moléculas pequeñas para empalmes alternativos de ARN) para desarrollar fármacos con moléculas pequeñas que ofrezcan tratamientos revolucionarios a los pacientes.
