Mersana Therapeutics, Inc. announced that Carla Poulson has joined the company as Chief Human Resources Officer. Ms. Poulson was most recently Chief Human Resources Officer at Akcea Therapeutics where she played an integral role in building the organization including recruiting several members of the senior management team.
Mersana Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, which is focused on the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which offer a clinically meaningful benefit for cancer patients with significant unmet needs. It has developed two proprietary and differentiated ADC platforms: Dolasynthen and Immunosynthen. Dolasynthen is its cytotoxic ADC platform that is designed to generate site-specific, homogeneous ADCs. Immunosynthen is its proprietary stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-agonist platform that is designed to generate systemically administered ADCs that locally activate STING signaling in both antigen-expressing tumor cells and in tumor-resident immune cells. The Company's pipeline also includes XMT-1660, a Dolasynthen ADC targeting B7-H4 in a Phase I clinical trial, and XMT-2056, an Immunosynthen ADC targeting a novel epitope of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), in addition to other earlier-stage assets.
