[{"type":"text","content":"SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sutro Biopharma, Inc. (Sutro or the Company) (NASDAQ: STRO), a clinical-stage oncology company pioneering site-specific and novel-format antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), today announced the Company’s President of Research & Chief Scientific Officer, Trevor Hallam, Ph.D., will be departing from his position effective May 31, 2023 and will immediately join the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board. “On behalf of Sutro, we would like to thank Trevor for his twelve years of scientific leadership and contributions to our innovative science—most recently as President of Research & Chief Scientific Officer and as a member of our senior management team,” said Bill Newell, Sutro’s Chief Executive Officer. “Trevor’s scientific vision and commitment enabled the six product candidates currently in the clinic that were discovered, developed and manufactured with our cell-free technology. More recently, he was instrumental in the design of our immunostimulatory ADCs, which led to our 2022 collaboration with Astellas. We wish Trevor continued success as we advance the next frontier of product candidates, including STRO-003, a ROR1 targeting ADC featuring next-generation linker-warhead technologies, and the initiation of REFRaME, our Phase 2/3 registration-directed study for luvelta in ovarian cancer.” “Working at Sutro has been an exciting journey—especially pioneering the use of synthetic biology to rapidly and precisely generate complex conjugated therapies that are highly efficient and tolerable. I've had the privilege of working alongside many talented Sutro team members to capture leading-edge science and create innovative molecules with the potential to revolutionize patient therapies,” said Trevor Hallam. “Sutro's pipeline boasts a suite of highly promising ADCs and new dual-conjugated modalities including immunostimulatory ADCs. I am confident that the Sutro team will continue to execute and drive value, and I look forward to contributing to Sutro’s success through participating on its Scientific Advisory Board.” Dr. Hallam will transition on May 31, 2023 from the role of President of Research & Chief Scientific Officer to his membership on Sutro’s Scientific Advisory Board.
