Weston Daniel
Chief Development Officer EVOQ Therapeutics
Weston Daniel, PhD, is Chief Development Officer at EVOQ Therapeutics, where he leads the development of the company’s antigen-specific immune tolerance programs from preclinical development through clinical translation. He oversees scientific and development strategy across EVOQ’s NanoDisc platform, including CMC, nonclinical development, translational biomarkers, regulatory strategy, and clinical development. A major focus of his current work is advancing EVOQ’s celiac disease program toward first-in-human clinical evaluation while expanding the NanoDisc platform into additional autoimmune indications. Dr. Daniel has extensive experience in nanotechnology, nucleic acid, and biotechnology research and development, translational science, therapeutic development, and the design of programs intended to bridge mechanistic immunology with clinically meaningful endpoints. His work at EVOQ focuses on developing practical, scalable approaches to induce durable antigen-specific immune tolerance without generalized immunosuppression.
Seminars
- Describe EVOQ Therapeutics’ NanoDisc platform for the antigen-specific induction of immune tolerance and the principles guiding antigen and formulation design
- EVOQ’s celiac disease program as a translational case study, highlighting the progression from preclinical development toward clinical evaluation and the opportunities celiac disease provides for assessing antigen-specific pharmacodynamic responses
- Discuss how a modular NanoDisc platform may be applied across autoimmune diseases in which disease-relevant antigens are known
