Edick, Xeris’ Chairman and CEO.

The Xeris patent portfolio consists of 178 total patents globally, of which 33 are U.S. issued; 128 patent applications pending globally, of which 21 are pending in the U.S.; and 60 patents pertaining to its technology platform. Xeris’ XeriSol patent portfolio includes patents and applications directed to this platform formulation technology, commercial and pipeline pharmaceutical product formulations, and therapeutic methods using such formulations to treat a variety of human diseases and disorders. All patents are owned by Xeris Biopharma subsidiaries.
