    WATERTOWN, Mass.--On Mon., Sept. 8, Nancy Simonian, M.D., the CEO of

    Nancy Simonian

    Simonian is the founding CEO of Syros Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a
    privately held life science company focused on recent breakthroughs in
    gene control to revolutionize the treatment of cancer and other
    diseases. Through her proprietary platform in mapping gene regulatory
    pathways in human disease tissue, novel approaches for treating
    disease are being pursued. Simonian has an established track record of
    value creation in biotechnology, most recently as chief medical
    officer at Millennium Pharmaceuticals and, previously, as vice
    president of Clinical Development at Biogen. Under her leadership at
    Millennium, VELCADE(R) became a mainstay of treatment for multiple
    myeloma, and a billion dollar commercial blockbuster. Simonian also
    built and advanced Millennium's promising pipeline of clinical stage
    drugs for cancer and Entyvio for inflammatory bowel disease. At
    Biogen, she played a central role in developing and commercializing
    AVONEX(R), and in developing TYSABRI(R), Biogen's blockbuster products for
    multiple sclerosis.

    Nancy Simonian started her career as a member of the faculty at
    Harvard Medical School and neurology staff at Massachusetts General
    Hospital (MGH). She trained in neurology and internal medicine at MGH,
    received her M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, and graduated
    with a degree in biology from Princeton. She is a member of the board
