successful drug launches, particularly in oncology,” said Andy
Sheldon, IMV’s Chairman of the Board. “As DPX-Survivac approaches
late-stage clinical development, this appointment reflects our
commitment to strengthening the expertise required to deliver
DPX-based medicines to patients in need. We look forward to working
together with Michael and benefiting from his insights.”

Beecham. He holds an M.B.A. in International Marketing from the
Mendoza College of Business at University of Notre Dame and a B.S.

“It is a privilege to join IMV’s Board at such an exciting time
for the company,” said Michael Bailey. “DPX-based immunotherapies
and vaccines represent a new powerful class of medicines, with
potential to elicit a rapid, robust and sustained immune response.
In particular, as we learn more about DPX-Survivac and its clinical
utility across a range of tumor types, I am eager to support the
management team in charting a path to reach the patients who will
benefit most.”
