Abstract
BUFFALO, N.Y.(WKBW) – Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, Dr. Candace Johnson and a special team of doctors at Roswell Park announced the launch of a new innovative Immunotherapy Biotech Company called, Tactiva Therapeutics in front of a packed house inside Roswell’s Research Center.
Tactiva will develop the latest science to lead even more effective approaches at fighting and treating the most aggressive forms of cancer. In addition, the company will bring 18 new jobs to Western New York, supporting the continued growth of the Medical Corridor.
