Inovio targeted by short seller Citron

The short seller Citron Research has published a report comparing Inovio Pharmaceuticals, which is developing a DNA vaccine for COVID-19, to Theranos, the blood-testing company that infamously lied about using a technology that didn’t exist. Citron criticizes Inovio for making experimental vaccines during epidemics but never winning approval for one. Citron also questions Inovio’s claim that it designed a COVID-19 vaccine in 3 hours. Inovio has said it designed the vaccine quickly since all it needed to know was the virus’s genetic sequence.

C&EN has made this story and all of its coverage of the coronavirus epidemic freely available during the outbreak to keep the public informed. To support our journalism, become a member of ACS or sign up for C&EN's weekly newsletter.
