Vincerx Pharma Announces Creation of its Scientific Advisory Board
Vincerx Pharma, Inc. has announced the formation of a Scientific Advisory Board in an effort to advance their clinical pipeline. Vincerx is a biopharmaceutical company which aspires to conquer cancer with innovative therapies.
Their research revolves around inhibiting PTEFb phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). As complex as that sounds, it comes down to preventing the creation and expression of cancer driving genes. VIP152, an IV administered pharmaceutical, has advanced into phase 1 clinical trials. Vincerx is working on 4 other pharmaceuticals simultaneously. One is an oral follow-up to VIP152 – both target solid tumors. The other three focus on a different approach – bioconjugation – to tackle leukemia, B-cell malignancies, and multiple solid tumors.
The board is composed of world leading academics and industry leaders in cancer research and therapeutics. John C. Byrd, M.D. has been appointed chairman of the board. His expertise, along with the other 7 other members, will hopefully help the advancement of the diverse clinical pipeline.
