Vaccitech
Vaccitech ("the Company") is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of novel immunotherapies and vaccines for the treatment and prevention of infectious disease, cancer, and autoimmune disease. The company's proprietary platforms comprise modified simian adenoviral vectors, known as ChAdOx1 and ChAdOx2, the well-validated Modified Vaccinia Ankara, or MVA, all of which lack the ability to replicate in humans, and the SNAPvax™ and Syntholytic™ polymer-based platforms. The company has a broad pipeline of both clinical and preclinical stage therapeutic programs in solid tumors, viral infections, autoimmunity, and prophylactic viral vaccine programs. Vaccitech co-invented a COVID-19 vaccine with the University of Oxford, now approved for use in many territories and exclusively licensed worldwide to AstraZeneca through Oxford University Innovation, or OUI. Vaccitech is entitled to receive a share of the milestones and royalty income received by OUI from AstraZeneca.
