“At Vir, the cornerstone of our commitment is and always will be patient-centered, with the aim to advance transformative medicines for patients facing severe diseases with unmet medical needs. Despite recent innovation in cancer therapeutics, the prognosis for many patients remains poor and treatment-associated toxicity is a major problem,” said Marianne De Backer, M.Sc., Ph.D., MBA, Vir’s Chief Executive Officer. “These potential best-in-class T-cell engagers aim to help address these problems and further us in our mission of powering the immune system to transform lives.”
