Cancer immunotherapy company Immodulon has announced that it has appointed Josefine Roemmler-Zehrer as chief medical officer, bringing with her vast experience in the clinical and medical affairs spheres.

Previously, Roemmler-Zehrer has held senior leadership positions at various leading pharmaceutical companies including Celgene, Amgen and Ipsen, having had successes in multiple product development programmes and leading multi-disciplinary teams in a range of therapeutic areas such as oncology, inflammation, rheumatology, dermatology, neurology and rare diseases.

Gertjan Barlema, chief executive officer of Immodulon, stated: “I am delighted to welcome incoming Josefine to the new leadership team at Immodulon as we prepare to advance our lead asset IMM-101 into a pivotal trial. Josefine brings a wealth of global experience in clinical and medical affairs from leading pharmaceutical companies and will be instrumental in our efforts to unlock the full potential of IMM-101.

I have been excited and inspired by the new management’s energy and commitment to bring IMM-101, a new, transformative, broad spectrum immunotherapy to patients with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality of any solid tumour and patients have few meaningful treatment options. I believe that IMM-101 can make a major contribution in addressing this fatal disease.”
