Vaccitech plc is a biotechnology company focused on developing novel immunotherapies and vaccines, particularly for infectious diseases and cancer. Its lead product candidate, VTP-300, targets HPV-related diseases and is currently in clinical trials, primarily in the UK and the US.
Vaccitech primarily relies on grant funding and partnerships for its R&D initiatives. The company is in the early stages of development, with no commercialized products yet, but potential future revenues could stem from licensing agreements and product sales once its candidates are approved.
