(TheNewswire)
VANCOUVER, BC, December 15, 2025/ – TheNewswire - BioVaxysTechnology Corp. (CSE: BIOV) (FRA: 5LB) (OTCQB: BVAXF ) ("BioVaxys" or"Company") is pleased to announce that Marianne Stanford,PhD, has joined BioVaxys as Scientific Advisor. Dr Stanford wasVice President of R&D at the former IMV Inc, where she and herteam were responsible for the development of the DPX™ vaccineportfolio. This included the study of the unique mechanism of actionof the DPX platform and its safety, efficacy, and dosing schedules inpreclinical models. Under her leadership, Dr. Stanford’s team alsodemonstrated that combining DPX, cyclophosphamide and then PD-1blockade (using antibodies such as pembrolizumab, Merck’sKeytruda™) enhanced immunogenicity and thus efficacy in cancermodels. Dr. Stanford and collaborators have published numerousstudies and she is named inventor on multiple patents related to theDPX platform and DPX formulations. This includes patents that exploreDPX compositions that express mRNA encoded by the nucleic acidcomponents in targeted cells.
Dr. Stanford was most recently the Chief Scientific Officer at MaraRenewables Corp., where she drove the commercialization of bio-basedomega-3 nutrition products for global markets and oversaw teams ofscientists across multiple research groups, from discovery science toapplication research. Prior to this role, Dr. Stanford was theAssistant Scientific Director at the Institute for Infection andImmunity at The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR),Canada's federal funding agency for health research, where shehelped build Canada’s national infectious disease research capacity.

The Company's clinicalstage pipeline includes maveropepimut-S (MVP-S), based on the DPXplatform, in Phase IIB clinical development for advancedRelapsed-Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and platinumresistant Ovarian Cancer. MVP-S delivers antigenic peptides fromsurvivin, a well-recognized cancer antigen commonly overexpressed inadvanced cancers, and also delivers an innate immune activator and auniversal CD4 T cell helper peptide. MVP-S has been well tolerated andhas demonstrated defined clinical benefit in multiple cancerindications as well as the activation of a targeted and sustained,survivin-specific anti-tumor immune response. BioVaxys is alsodeveloping DPX+SurMAGE, a dual-targeted immunotherapy combiningantigenic peptides for both the survivin and MAGE-A9 cancer proteinsto elicit immune responses to these two distinct cancer antigenssimultaneously, DPX-RSV for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, DPX+rPA forpeanut allergy prophylaxis, and BVX-0918, a personalizedimmunotherapeutic vaccine using its proprietary HapTenix©'neoantigen' tumor cell construct platform for refractivelate-stage ovarian cancer.
