Imago BioSciences Appoints Laurie Keating to Board of Directors

By: via Business Wire

​Imago BioSciences, Inc. (Imago) (Nasdaq: IMGO), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company discovering new medicines for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), today announced the appointment of Laurie Keating to its Board of Directors on November 17, 2021. Keating is a seasoned executive, with nearly two decades of her 40-year career in diverse roles within the biopharmaceutical industry.

“I am pleased to welcome to Laurie to Imago’s Board of Directors as the company continues to grow, following our successful IPO in July,” said Hugh Young Rienhoff, Jr., M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Imago BioSciences. “Laurie brings extensive experience to our Board and we look forward to leveraging her judgment, skills and know-how as we progress bomedemstat, our novel LSD1 inhibitor, through the regulatory process.”

Laurie Keating most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer at Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, where she led the company’s global public policy and government relations, legal, and intellectual property groups. Prior to joining Alnylam, Keating served as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary at Millennium Pharmaceuticals, where she led the legal, intellectual property, corporate quality and compliance groups. Prior to Millennium, Keating was the founding chief executive officer of Hydra Biosciences, a privately held, venture-backed company, and served on Hydra’s Board for six years.

“Imago’s advances in the potential treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms with bomedemstat are highly promising, and I am thrilled to join the company’s Board of Directors at such an exciting time,” said Laurie Keating. “I look forward to contributing to Imago’s continued growth, and collaborating with the leadership team as we navigate the regulatory and clinical development processes, in an effort to bring a much-needed new treatment option to underserved patients.”

Keating currently sits on the Board of Directors for Immuneering Corporation and MassBIO, a non-profit organization dedicated to growing the biopharmaceutical industry, adding value to the healthcare system, and improving patient lives in Massachusetts. She has a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of California, Berkeley and received her J.D. from the University of California, Hastings College of Law.

About Imago BioSciences

Imago is focused on improving the quality and length of life for patients with cancer and bone marrow diseases. Bomedemstat, an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of LSD1, is the lead product candidate discovered by Imago for the treatment of certain myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), a family of related, chronic cancers of the bone marrow.

Bomedemstat has U.S. FDA Orphan Drug and Fast Track Designation for the treatment of ET and MF, European Medicines Agency (EMA) Orphan Designation for the treatment of ET and MF, and PRIority MEdicines (PRIME) Designation by the EMA for the treatment of MF.
