Deborah L. Birx, M.D. has served as our Chief Executive Officer since July 2023. Prior to her appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Dr. Birx resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of Innoviva, Inc., the Company’s largest shareholder, a position she assumed in March 2021. Dr. Birx recently served as the response coordinator of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, where she made recommendations to the vice president using data integration to drive decision making, as well as worked closely with state officials across the country to provide state-specific advice and guidance. In 2014, Dr. Birx became an Ambassador-at-Large, when she assumed the role of the Coordinator of the United States Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS and U.S. Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy (a $6 billion per year program), a position she served in until January 2021. As the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, Dr. Birx oversaw the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in history, at the CDC as well as all U.S. Government engagement with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. From 2005 until 2014, Dr. Birx served successfully as the Director of CDC’s Division of Global HIV/AIDS (DGHA) in the CDC Center for Global Health where she developed ISO and CAP certified laboratories across the globe. From 1996 until 2005, she served as the Director of the U.S. Military HIV Research Program (USMHRP) at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research directing research and development of HIV vaccines through full Phase III trials, including GLP and GMP manufacturing. During this time, she also rose to the rank of Colonel. Then known as Colonel Birx, she was awarded three prestigious U.S. Meritorious Service Medals and the Legion of Merit Award for her groundbreaking research, leadership and management skills during her tenure at the Department of Defense (DoD). In 1985, Dr. Birx began her career with the DoD as a military trained clinician in cellular immunology, focusing on HIV/AIDS vaccine research. Dr. Birx has published over 230 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals
