Genvira Biosciences Inc.

Profile

Genvira Biosciences is a preclinical oncology company developing viral vector-based therapies for cancers with high unmet need. Its lead program, GVB -2030, is being developed for bladder cancer and is designed to deliver an immune-activating payload directly into the tumor to help generate a more durable anti-tumor response in a disease where recurrence remains a major challenge. The company expects GVB-2030 to enter first-in-human studies in 2026. 

Beyond its lead program, Genvira is building a broader pipeline through a proprietary viral vector engineering platform focused on improving genetic stability, payload design, immune activity, and manufacturability. Headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Genvira was spun out of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and operates from a biosafety-certified facility that supports its translational research and development activities. Genvira’s broader mission is to establish its Ottawa headquarters as a global center of excellence in viral vector engineering, translational research, and drug development. The company aims to advance its programs toward clinical proof-of-concept while creating long-term strategic value for Canada through innovation, skilled job creation, partnerships, and future commercialization opportunities.
