Thank you, Paul. Hello, everyone, and welcome to our third quarter conference call. I am joined this morning by Scott Kellen, our Chief Financial Officer.

Before we begin this morning, I want to take a moment to welcome Dr. Ambar Shah as our Chief Technology Officer. Dr. Shah has over 25 years of experience in advancing biopharmaceuticals from early stage to commercialization, where he has had key contributions to over 50 drugs in multiple successful drug approvals. He was previously the Vice President and Head of Global Vaccines Development at CSL Seqirus, where he was accountable for end-to-end chemistry, manufacturing and control in the development of vaccines. Prior to that position, he was Executive Director, Head of Drug Product Development at Bristol-Myers Squib formerly Celgene. His prior experience comprised increasingly impactful roles at AstraZeneca, formerly MedImmune, GlaxoSmithKline, formerly Human Genome Sciences, and Pfizer, formerly Wyeth. Ambarish consulted with us for five months before joining us in a permanent role. We are thrilled to have Ambarish as part of our team.
