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.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
