COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing novel therapeutics for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The company's competitive advantage stems from its proprietary pipeline of differentiated drug candidates, including RNA interference (RNAi) and capsid assembly inhibitors, which target multiple stages of the HBV lifecycle and address a significant global unmet medical need within a specialized therapeutic area.
