Dr. Harley joined Geron in 1993 and served as CSO since 1996. Dr. Harley will continue a relationship with Geron in an advisory capacity.
"Cal's numerous contributions to the company and the field have enabled Geron to advance the biology of telomeres and telomerase into drug discovery and development programs and into clinical trials," said Dr. Thomas B. Okarma, Geron's president and chief executive officer. "It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Cal over the years, and I am very pleased that he will continue to contribute to Geron as a consultant."
"I joined Geron to progress what was then the emerging field of telomere and telomerase biology towards clinical application in age-related diseases and cancer. During my 16 years at Geron, I am fortunate to have been able to do that," said Dr. Harley. "I have decided that now is the time to retire from my full-time position, but I am delighted to continue my involvement with the company in an advisory capacity."
Dr. Harley. along with academic collaborators and the team of scientists he led at Geron, was instrumental in discovering, from observation to experimental proof, the link between telomere loss, human cell aging, and chronic disease and the key dynamic relationships between telomere biology and cancer, the Company noted in a release.
Geron is developing biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of cancer and chronic degenerative diseases, including spinal cord injury, heart failure and diabetes.
