The Skinny on Tübingen and the Workers
The juicy details on how this acquisition affects the Tübingen locale and the employees might be scarce, but here's a scoop from the grapevine:
- Dancing to a New Tune: CureVax, our new baby, will remain as a subsidiary of BioNTech, but it will twirl to BioNTech's tune. This suggests that the Tübingen base will keep humming, but it'll be under BioNTech's choreography[2][3].
- Tech Boost: The deal is believed to rev up BioNTech's mRNA design and manufacturing know-how. That could unlock possibilities for the Tübingen facility, sprinkling some much-needed mojo onto the local crew[1][4].
- Aiming for the Stars: BioNTech's big boss, Ugur Sahin, flags this acquisition as part of BioNTech's master plan to conquer cancer immunotherapies and tap into complementary tech. Could this mean a new dance floor for the Tübingen crew[2][4]? Stay tuned!
As for the whereabouts of CureVax CEO in all this, there isn't specific mention of "CEO Zehnder" in the search results. Looks like we're sticking with BioNTech CEO, Ugur Sahin, for now. For a direct lowdown from BioNTech's highest echelons on Tübingen and employees, dig those official press releases or statements.
The acquisition of CureVax by BioNTech might result in a new business tune for the Tübingen base, as CureVax will continue to operate under BioNTech's leadership (Ugur Sahin). Additionally, the merger could potentially boost BioNTech's mRNA design and manufacturing capabilities, possibly providing a technological lift for the Tübingen workforce.
