SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Maze Therapeutics, a company translating genetic insights into new precision medicines, today announced that Sekar Kathiresan, M.D., a Maze co-founder, has joined the company\u2019s board of directors. Dr. Kathiresan is an experienced cardiologist, co-founder and chief executive officer of Verve Therapeutics, and a lecturer in medicine at Harvard Medical School. His work has focused on leveraging human genetics to understand the root causes of diseases and to improve preventive care. Among his scientific contributions, Dr. Kathiresan has helped highlight new biological mechanisms underlying heart attacks, discovered mutations that protect against heart attack risk, and developed a genetic test for personalized heart attack prevention.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\u201cSek has dedicated his career to creating a better understanding of the genetic drivers of cardiovascular disease to bring forward better care for patients, much in the way we at Maze have dedicated our research to better understanding the genetic drivers of disease and turning those insights into meaningful medicines,\u201d said Jason Coloma, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Maze. \u201cHis broad experiences as a practicing cardiologist, a scientist, and now a biotech chief executive bring an important perspective to Maze as we apply learnings from our Compass platform to discover and advance programs for patients in need. We are pleased to welcome him to the board, and I look forward to partnering with him.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMaze is looking to leverage insights from genetics to develop impactful new treatments and transform the future of medicine,\u201d said Dr. Kathiresan. \u201cAs a co-founder of Maze, I am thrilled to have witnessed the progress the company has made with its platform and programs in just a few short years. Maze has evolved from a concept in 2019 to a company that has already launched a clinical program and continues to develop a robust platform and pipeline. I\u2019m proud to join the board and contribute to Maze\u2019s continued growth.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nPrior to Verve, Dr. Kathiresan\u2019s roles included director of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Genomic Medicine, director of the Cardiovascular Disease Initiative at the Broad Institute and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. There, Dr. Kathiresan\u2019s research laboratory focused on understanding the inherited basis for blood lipids and myocardial infarction. For his research contributions, he has been recognized by the American Heart Association with its highest scientific honor, a Distinguished Scientist Award, and by the American Society of Human Genetics with the 2018 Curt Stern Award. Dr. Kathiresan graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in history from the University of Pennsylvania and received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School. He completed his clinical training in internal medicine and cardiology at MGH and his postdoctoral research training in human genetics at the Framingham Heart Study and the Broad Institute.\n<\/p>\n
