Operator: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Autolus Therapeutics' Call to discuss the Full Year 2023 Financial Results and Business Updates. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Olivia Manser. Please go ahead.

Olivia Manser: Thanks, Michelle. Good morning or good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining us on today's call. With me are Dr. Christian Itin, our Chief Executive Officer; and Rob Dolski, our Chief Financial Officer. So, on Slide 2, before we begin, I'd just like to remind you that during today's call we will make statements related to our business that are forward-looking under federal securities laws and the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the status of clinical trials and development and for regulatory timelines for our product candidates and our expectations regarding our cash runway. These statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and reflect our views only as of today.

We assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of the material risks and uncertainties that could affect our actual results, please refer to the risks identified in today's press release and our SEC filings, both available on the Investors section of our website. On Slide 3, you'll see the agenda. As usual, Christian will provide an overview of our operational highlights, Rob will then discuss the financial results before Christian will conclude with upcoming milestones and closing remarks, and we will then take questions. Over to you, Christian.

Christian Itin: Thanks a lot, Olivia, and welcome, everybody, to our full year update. Obviously, it's been a very successful year for us, and we're going to go through the accomplishments during the course of last year, particularly with our lead program, obe-cel, on the following slide. But what we'd like to start out with is obviously the important transactions that we've been able to complete in February this year, obviously, post the reporting period. Obviously, the two transactions we conducted. One was the strategic collaboration with BioNTech, which I think sets us up in a very interesting and attractive way going forward with a very strong partner, and I think a lot of opportunity to realize synergies between the two companies.
