Syros Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company committed to advancing new standards of care for the frontline treatment of hematologic malignancies announced a strategic realignment to prioritize key development and pre-launch activities to advance tamibarotene for the frontline treatment of higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

Also Syros announced the retirement as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nancy Simonian, M.D., and the appointment of Conley Chee, Syros’ Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) and Chief Business Officer (CBO), as CEO, effective December 2, 2023. Dr. Simonian will remain a member of the Syros Board of Directors following the transition.
