"We are honored to welcome Prof. Jones - a renowned scientist with extensive expertise in hepatic pathologies and PBC - to the Tharimmune SAB," said Randy Milby, CEO of Tharimmune. "As we advance our lead drug candidate TH104 for the potential benefit of thousands of patients suffering from pruritus secondary to PBC who lack effective treatment options, we look forward to engaging with Prof. Jones and our entire SAB for valuable real-world and clinical insights."

Prof. Jones joins the newly formed Tharimmune SAB, which is comprised of Andreas Kremer, MD, PhD, Clinician Scientist and Head of Hepatology at University Hospital Zurich; Alan Bonder, MD, AGAF, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard University Medical School and Medical Director of Liver Transplant at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; John Lambert, PhD, a leading expert in the field of antibody drug conjugate discovery and development; and Vaughn Smider, MD, PhD, founder and President of the Applied Biomedical Science Institute and adjunct Professor at the Scripps Research Institute.
