At Virion Therapeutics, We Believe a Future Free of Cancer and Chronic Infectious Diseases Is Within Reach

Driven by science, our mission is to revolutionize the immunotherapy treatment landscape, focusing on the development of novel, adaptable, and accessible CD8+ T cell-based technologies.

Our transformative platform is first in its class, offering a unique methodology that combines innovative and established approaches to elicit a superior CD8+ T cell response. Novel genetically encoded checkpoint modifiers are delivered alongside optimized target-specific antigens via an immunogenic and adaptable viral vector platform that promotes potent, prolonged, and broad CD8+ T cell responses.

With potential applications across a range of cancers and chronic infectious diseases, our proprietary technology provides us with a robust pipeline. Our lead product, VRON-0200, is under investigation as a potential functional cure for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) – a first-in-human clinical study is planned to initiate in late 2022.

Founded in 2018 to advance technology licensed from The Wistar Institute, we have assembled a world-class management team and an industry-leading global Board of Directors, with proven experience in the biotechnology sector, as well as extensive preclinical and clinical expertise in antiviral, vaccine, oncology, and immuno-oncology.
