Sara holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University.

“I am thrilled to join Boundless Bio as the company makes preparations for the clinic,” said Ms. Weymer. “Patients with oncogene amplified cancers currently have limited therapeutic options; ecDNA-directed therapies are a potential solution that I am excited to help bring forward in the first clinical study in patients with ecDNA-driven oncogene amplification.”
