Leadership is led by Franz-Werner Haas, who has served as Chief Executive Officer since 2018, guiding CureVac’s transition from pioneering research to commercialization readiness. Supported by an interdisciplinary team of biologists, chemists and clinicians, the company continues to expand its platform capabilities and explore new indications for mRNA therapeutics.
