"The award of this issued composition of matter patent in the United States with a significant lifespan is an important corporate milestone for our growing company and marks the maturing of our robust intellectual property estate," said Joshua Wang, Founding CEO of VerImmune.

VerImmune’s technology platform, discovered internally and wholly owned by VerImmune, provides unique products that harness the body’s pre-existing T-cell memory against pathogens and specifically redirects these responses to attack cancer. This is a potentially broadly applicable treatment paradigm, based on a single therapy, that can act against multiple human cancers due to the ubiquitous nature of pre-existing responses to childhood vaccines and/or past infections.
