WARREN, N.J., Feb. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tevogen Bio (“Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc.” or “Company”) (Nasdaq: TVGN), a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy biotech company, announced today that its Founder and CEO, Ryan Saadi, MD, MPH, has been named to the 2025 NJBIZ Power 100, recognizing the most influential figures shaping New Jersey’s business landscape. The editorial team at NJBIZ highlights honorees as strategic leaders and innovators who drive progress and represent the state’s diversity.
Dr. Saadi leads Tevogen Bio in its mission to develop the affordable, safe, and easy-to-administer T cell therapy for acute viral infections, the long-term effects of viral infections, and both viral and non-viral induced cancers. By leveraging the company’s proprietary ExacTcell technology, designed to address accessibility challenges, a proof-of-concept trial was completed with highly positive results, and the findings have been published in Blood Advances. A major milestone in Tevogen’s quest to make therapies more accessible was the recent launch of Tevogen.AI, along with its partnership with Microsoft.
Dr. Saadi emphasized that this recognition reflects Tevogen Bio’s unique mission rather than personal achievement. “Tevogen represents a new category of biotech, one designed to challenge the rising costs of drug development with a highly efficient and scalable business model,” said Dr. Saadi. “I am honored to be named alongside leaders such as Joaquin Duato (CEO of Johnson & Johnson), and hope to continue to defy conventional biotech expectations, prioritizing affordability, accessibility, and long-term sustainability.”
