ABOUT US

There are more than 9 million immunocompromised people in the United States. Almost half a million of those represent a population that are moderately to severely immunocompromised and at highest risk for severe COVID-19, including stem cell and solid organ transplant patients as well as those with hematologic cancers.

At Invivyd, Inc., we take those numbers very seriously and we come to work each day on a mission to deliver protection from serious viral infectious diseases, beginning with SARS-CoV-2. Our proprietary INVYMABTM platform approach combines state-of-the-art viral surveillance and predictive modeling with advanced antibody engineering, designed to facilitate the rapid, serial generation of new monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).

Join an incredible team of innovators, disrupters, predictive modelers, and antibody engineers who embrace a shared sense of ownership, a passion to save lives, think boldly and creatively, take targeted risks, are unafraid of failure, and welcome change as a positive catalyst to new opportunities.

This is your chance to be part of the company with the first mAb authorized in over a year and the only one currently on the market for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19 in certain adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with moderate-to-severe immune compromise.

Be part of making a difference. Be part of Invivyd.
