Due to the cuts, the company has reduced its annual burn rate by 25 percent.

“From a position of strength with a healthy balance sheet and a 200-person team, Inovio sharpened its focus to create a more efficient organization with greater financial flexibility and a longer runway,” J.Joseph Kim, PhD, Inovio’s president and CEO said in a news release.
