VBI Vaccines is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing the next generation of vaccines to address unmet needs in infectious disease and immuno-oncology. VBI is advancing both the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B, with the only commercially approved 3-antigen hepatitis B vaccine, PreHevbrio™ [Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant)], which is now approved for use in the U.S., European Union/European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel. Through its innovative approach to virus-like particles (“VLPs”), including a proprietary enveloped VLP (“eVLP”) platform technology, VBI is developing vaccine candidates that mimic the natural presentation of viruses, designed to elicit the innate power of the human immune system. VBI is developing vaccine candidates to tackle significant infectious diseases, including hepatitis B, coronaviruses, and cytomegalovirus (CMV), as well as aggressive cancers including glioblastoma (GBM). VBI is headquartered in Cambridge, MA and has research operations in Ottawa, Canada, and research and manufacturing facilities in Rehovot, Israel.
