Tevogen Bio Partners with Yale School of Public Health to Prepare Tomorrow's Leaders in Regulatory Science


Tevogen Bio, a clinical stage biotechnology company, announced today its support of a major expansion of the Yale School of Public Health's regulatory sciences program that will provide students with the professional training they need to become tomorrow's leaders in the field. The expanded program builds upon the success of the current regulatory affairs track in the Yale School of Public Health's M.P.H. program.

Regulatory science focuses on the development of new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of products produced by various industries. Those products include pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, food, the environment, and worker safety. Regulatory affairs, in contrast, focuses on the administrative, policy, and legal aspects of product regulation.

"Stakeholders are searching for talented and emerging leaders in regulatory science, but current educational programs are scarce," said Sten H. Vermund, dean of the Yale School of Public Health. "With Tevogen Bio's support, we have an opportunity to reimagine our program and to grow it into one that matriculates students who ultimately become national and international leaders in the field."

Tevogen Bio CEO Ryan Saadi, M.D., M.P.H., hopes that others will join in supporting this much needed initiative. "Continued advancement in cell and gene therapy, the new frontier of medical innovation, will depend in part on vibrant leadership in the regulatory science field. Tevogen Bio applauds the YSPH leadership for its efforts to cultivate talent in this important discipline and is honored to contribute to this endeavor." said Saadi, who obtained his M.P.H. in Infectious Diseases from Yale University in 1995.

Timely patient access to advancements in cell and gene therapy innovations is heavily dependent on the company's efficiency in regulatory affairs. Tevogen Bio is developing personalized T cell-based immunotherapies targeted to treat large patient population in viral infections and cancers. The company is preparing to initiate clinical trial for TVGN-489, its investigational COVID-19 therapy, which in preclinical study has demonstrated strong antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
