Novavax appoints chief scientific officer

Authority on vaccines, vaccine delivery and adjuvants

US biopharmaceutical firm Novavax has a new chief scientific officer. Gregory Glenn, previously chief scientific officer and co-founder of IOMAI Corporation (now Intercell), will report to chief executive Dr Rahul Singhvi.

‘Greg Glenn is a recognised innovator and authority on vaccines, vaccine delivery and adjuvants,’ said Singhvi. ‘He brings to Novavax considerable experience in the discovery, development and clinical evaluation of a wide variety of vaccines.

‘As a co-founder of IOMAI, Greg also has an appreciation for the challenge of translating promising early-stage research into commercially viable, late-stage product candidates. We applaud his record of achievement and welcome his contributions to our future success.’

‘The use of virus-like particles to mimic live viruses is a very promising approach to preventing the spread of infectious diseases,’ Glenn said. ‘I look forward to supporting the development and application of this very promising approach to disease prevention.’
