("Trillium" or the "Company") (NASDAQ/TSX: TRIL), a clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing innovative therapies for the treatment of cancer, today announced the appointment of pharmaceutical industry leader Michael Kamarck, Ph.D., to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.
"We are excited to welcome Dr. Kamarck to the board of directors" said Robert L.

"I am honored to join Trillium's Board and look forward to contributing my knowledge in pharmaceutical research, technical operations and biologics manufacturing as the company advances towards clinical and commercial success," said Dr. Kamarck. "This is truly an exciting time for Trillium, which is well positioned to become a leading player in the CD47 field, with a unique pipeline of two differentiated agents that are showing best-in-class potential."
Before joining Vir, Dr. Kamarck was Senior Vice President of Global Vaccines and Biologics Manufacturing and President of Merck BioVentures where he was instrumental in establishing Merck's global biosimilars business.
