Baton Rouge, LA, Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCPK: ATRX) ("Adhera" or the "Company"
, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Zahed Subhan, BS MS PhD MBA LLB, to the Company’s Board of Directors.
Dr. Subhan is an international pharmaceutical and biotechnology executive with more than 30 years’ experience in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Asia. He is highly proficient in all phases of drug development with expertise in neurology, psychiatry, oncology, cardiovascular, urology and metabolic disease therapeutic areas.

“We welcome Dr. Subhan to our Board of Directors and greatly look forward to him contributing his decades of experience across the drug development, business development and capital markets as we advance our experimental drugs through the clinical process,” commented Andrew Kucharchuk, Chief Executive Officer at Adhera Therapeutics. “We believe attracting a person of his caliber speaks volumes to the quality of our drug candidates. His credentials are impeccable, his international experience invaluable, and he has intimate experience with MLR-1023, knowledge that will be instrumental in structuring and conducting our planned Phase 2b clinical trial for Type 1 diabetes.”
