Inovio Pharmaceuticals (INO) Down Almost 33% For the Week
Inovio Pharmaceuticals (INO) tumbled almost 33% over the past week. The investor sell-off is largely in part due to the Company’s shift in focus from a Covid-19 vaccine to a Covid-19 booster.
This also comes on the heels of their Q1’22 financial results and the appointment of a new CEO – Jacqueline Shea, Ph.D.
“We believe in the potential of our DNA medicines and vaccines to combat infectious diseases, cancer and HPV-associated diseases,” said Dr. Jacqueline Shea, President and CEO of INOVIO. “To achieve these goals, INOVIO must strategically prioritize our resources to capitalize on its demonstrated ability to generate functional T-cell and antibody immune responses, lack of anti-vector response, tolerability for re-administration and favorable temperature stability for transport, storage and distribution.”
