"We are thrilled and privileged to welcome Dr. Sulkowski and Dr. Feld as members of our SAB as we rapidly advance the development of PBGENE-HBV towards the clinic," said Michael Amoroso, President and Chief Executive Officer of Precision BioSciences. "Together, they bring immense expertise as investigators in hepatitis clinical trials, which will be invaluable as we expect to submit the IND and/or CTA applications for PBGENE-HBV later this year, bringing our first wholly owned ARCUS nuclease into clinical trials. We look forward to leveraging the SAB's input to guide the development of PBGENE-HBV and the broader potential of our ARCUS platform." "Dr. Sulkowski and Dr. Feld are welcome additions to the SAB as Precision nears key inflection points," said Dr. Raymond Schinazi, a pioneer of treatments for hepatitis and member of Precision's Hepatitis Scientific Advisory Board.
