Immunitas Therapeutics names Annalisa D’Andrea as CSO

18 January 2024

US clinical stage developer Immunitas Therapeutics today announced the appointment of Annalisa D’Andrea as its chief scientific officer (CSO).

Dr D’Andrea has more than 25 years of basic and translational research and development expertise in both large and small pharmaceutical and biotech settings. She brings to Immunitas a strong history of success in immunology therapeutic development, having led products from target selection through clinical evaluation.

Massachusetts-based Immunitas says that her expertise will accelerate the company’s pipeline of highly differentiated, antibody-based therapeutics, including lead candidate IMT-009 which is currently dosing in the clinic and the company’s second program, an antibody oligonucleotide conjugate designed to stimulate Toll like receptor 9. Dr D’Andrea has been an advisor for the company and served as acting CSO since September 2023.
