CureVac Provides Supervisory Board Update

TÜBINGEN, GERMANY and BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 23, 2021 / CureVac N.V.

Dr. Hoerr, who had retired from his duties with the company for acute health reasons in March 2020, has stated continuing health problems, which do not allow him to resume his duties.

"I would like to express my deepest gratitude and respect to Ingmar for his vision to advance new vaccine and therapeutic opportunities utilizing mRNA technology, and his tireless dedication in building CureVac around this vision," said Jean Stéphenne, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of CureVac.

"On behalf of our Board of Directors, I wish to thank Timothy for investing his valuable time, talent, passion and wisdom to grow the Company. Timothy's experience in drug development has helped shape the Company and prepare it for a successful future," added Jean Stéphenne, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of CureVac.
