FOSTER CITY, Calif., Dec. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terns Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Terns” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TERN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of small-molecule product candidates to address serious diseases, including oncology, obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), today announced that management will participate in a fireside chat at the 2022 Virtual JMP Securities Hematology and Oncology Summit on Tuesday, December 6 at 2:40 p.m. ET.
