The Corporate Advisory Board provides guidance to Tevogen leadership as the company continues to expand its genetically unmodified precision T cell platform technology, which maintains the promise of affordable and convenient cell therapies for large patient populations by overcoming existing barriers of T cell-based therapeutic platforms.
“I am delighted to join this impassioned and highly skilled team whose guiding mission is to provide accessible life-saving immunotherapies to large patient populations,” said Dr. Sprott. He continued, “It is particularly great to be joining Tevogen now, as it has invented what I call a leapfrog technology. The company’s single HLA restricted, multiple target-specific and genetically unmodified cytotoxic CD8+ approach introduces high level precision and specificity avoiding unwanted corollary effects observed in other T cell immunotherapy platforms. It is one of those scientific advances that is quite remarkable in its simplicity.”
“Dr. Sprott is the epitome of excellence in the health care practice, and I deeply admire his passion to limit suffering in children as well as his dedication to improving the lives of all people. His extensive, distinguished, and illustrious career speaks for itself, and I am honored to have him join Tevogen’s Corporate Advisory Board,” said Tevogen CEO Ryan Saadi, M.D., M.P.H.
