Dori Thomas-Karyat, PhD

I received my PhD in Immunology from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and then moved to NYC to do my post-doctoral fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I was awarded a Cancer Research Institute Fellowship and worked in Dr. Joan Massague’s lab, who was one of the founders of the TGF-b field. I proceeded to work as a drug discovery project leader in two pharmaceutical companies, AbbVie and Roche, in their oncology, immune-oncology and inflammation groups. I founded Synthis Therapeutics to build the next generation of targeted TGF-b therapies in oncology and fibrotic diseases.
