ABOUT US

There are more than 9 million immunocompromised people in the United States. Almost half a million of those represent a population that are moderately to severely immunocompromised and at highest risk for severe COVID-19, including stem cell and solid organ transplant patients as well as those with hematologic cancers.

At Invivyd, Inc., we take those numbers very seriously and we come to work each day on a mission to deliver protection from serious viral infectious diseases, beginning with SARS-CoV-2.  Invivyd deploys a proprietary integrated technology platform unique in the industry designed to assess, monitor, develop, and adapt to create best in class antibodies.

In March 2024, Invivyd received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. FDA for a monoclonal antibody (mAb) in its pipeline of innovative antibody candidates. In October 2025, the FDA cleared the company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application and provided feedback to advance the company’s REVOLUTION clinical program, Invivyd’s development program for VYD2311, a vaccine alternative monoclonal antibody candidate for the prevention of COVID.

Join an incredible team of people who thrive in a start-up environment, embrace a shared sense of ownership, have a passion for impacting patients and their families, think boldly and creatively, take targeted risks, are unafraid of failure, and welcome change as a positive catalyst to new opportunities and growth.
