About Trillium Therapeutics:

Trillium Therapeutics is a private biopharmaceutical company specializing in immune regulation and cytoprotection. The company, which was originally spun out from six major Ontario research institutions, currently has two preclinical oncology programs: TTI-621, a SIRPaFc fusion protein that blocks the activity of CD47, a molecule that is upregulated on cancer stem cells in AML and other tumours; and TTI-200.7, a fully human CD200-specific monoclonal antibody that blocks the activity of CD200, an immunosuppressive molecule that is overexpressed by several hematopoietic and solid tumours. The company's most advanced program, TTI-1612, is a cytoprotective recombinant growth factor that is being developed for the treatment of interstitial cystitis. Trillium has a rich and successful history of academic and industry collaborations and business relationships, and has been supported by three Canadian venture capital investors: Covington Capital, Growthworks and BDC Capital, as well as by the MaRS Investment Accelerator Fund (IAF) and the Federal Economic Development Agency's Investing in Business Innovation (IBI) program.

Dr. Niclas Stiernholm holds a Ph.D. in immunology from the University of Toronto. Having started his career at Allelix Biopharmaceuticals, considered one of Canada's first biotechnology companies, Dr. Stiernholm joined YM BioSciences where he was Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer until the completion of YM's IPO in 2002. He then became the founding full-time CEO of Trillium. He currently serves on several scientific and corporate boards of directors, including the Ontario Genomics Institute, OBIO, and AIM Therapeutics. Dr. Robert Uger also earned his PhD in immunology from the University of Toronto and has 10+ years of pharma/biotech experience.
