(“Tevogen” or “Tevogen Bio”) (Nasdaq: TVGN), a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy biotech pioneer developing off-the-shelf, genetically unmodified T cell therapeutics in oncology, neurology, and virology, congratulates Professor Sten Vermund, MD, PhD, Chairperson of Tevogen Bio’s Innovation and Public Health Advisory Board, on being named as the dean of the USF Health College of Public Health, effective January 1, 2025.

In addition to his new role at the University of South Florida, Dr. Vermund will continue to serve as the President of the Global Virus Network (GVN), a nonprofit coalition of human and animal virologists from more than 80 centers of excellence in 40 countries.

When the Global Virus Network relocated its global headquarters to Tampa, an opportunity to move to the University of South Florida presented itself. I saw exciting new opportunities at the USF Health College of Public Health, a public institution that is innovating at many levels."
