Prokarium Appoints Uz Stammberger as Chief Medical Officer to Drive Clinical Development in Oncology
“Prokarium’s unique technology based on live, attenuated bacteria is a promising and powerful strategy for reprogramming the tumor microenvironment and eliciting long-lasting anti-tumor effects,” said Dr. Stammberger. “I am excited to exploit the full therapeutic capabilities of our proprietary bacteria in both the monotherapy and combination settings, with our lead program targeting bladder cancer, an indication in which there remains a significant unmet medical need for patients.”
Dr. Stammberger joins Prokarium from the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, where he oversaw the MAPK assets in Translational Clinical Oncology and generated several PoCs/PoMs in different genetically defined solid tumors. Prior to his role at Novartis, Dr. Stammberger was a Clinical Lead at Merck KGaA, responsible for Tepotinib, a small molecule inhibitor of c-Met which is approved in the US and Japan for MetEx14 skip mutant NSCLC. Earlier in his career, he held various positions at Roche and Boehringer Ingelheim. Dr. Stammberger received his Doctor of Medicine as well as the Venia docendi (Adj. Professor of General Thoracic Surgery) from the University of Bern and is a board-certified GP and surgeon.
