BERKELEY, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/05/14 -- Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $68.4 million compared to $53.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
