Two co-founders of biotech company BioNTech, Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci, are leaving to form a new startup focused on developing mRNA therapies. Sahin and Türeci will step down by the end of this year after being behind BioNTech’s successful COVID-19 vaccine Comirnaty. The news led to a 19% drop in BioNTech’s stock price, as investors worry about the company’s future direction.
