“I am thrilled to join Nurix at this exciting time, as we advance four novel drugs into the clinic to address significant unmet needs for patients,” said Ms. Wolff. “Nurix’s DELigase platform and portfolio of protein modulators represent a truly unique approach with broad applicability, and our focus on oncology and immunology will enable us to find ways to treat these and other difficult conditions.”

Previously, Ms. Wolff worked at Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., where she served as vice president of development and global project team leader, at Genentech, Inc., where she had increasing roles of responsibility over her 13-year tenure in oncology and immunology, and at Eli Lilly & Co., where she served in a number of roles in marketing and sales for over nine years.
