Cerulean Chief Medical Officer John Ryan, Ph.D., M.D., and Senior Director of Research Scott Eliasof, Ph.D., are scheduled to present at the 22nd EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on “Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics,” to be held in Berlin, Germany.

Concurrently, Dr. Eliasof’s presentation will feature results on the Company’s pre-clinical lead candidate, CRLX288, a docetaxel nanopharmaceutical, demonstrating its highly favorable tolerability, extended pharmacokinetics, and superior efficacy in a broad range of xenograft models.
