“We are delighted to welcome Allen to Xencor. He joins our team with a strong record of successful drug development in oncology, including T-cell engaging bispecific antibodies, and a wealth of experience in translational research and as a practicing oncologist. As our bispecific oncology pipeline matures and as we continue to explore novel target combinations in the clinic, Xencor will benefit immensely from Allen’s leadership and expertise,” said Bassil Dahiyat, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer at Xencor.
