Dr. Jennifer Johnson, Chief Operating Officer of NuvOx, said, “It’s not easy for small companies to get a ‘leg-up’ in this economic climate; thus, we are so pleased that this funding will fully support our team on a project in which we will be able to optimize and preliminarily test our product, NVX-108, against cancer.”
