If she did the work there they likely own it.

she left after they gave her an ultimatum of having to take a pay cut if she wanted to continue. i am not sure if she is a founder but she worked at BioNTech , so it's not owned by the university. I don't think it's illegal but this is the time she should be publicizing the story to shame them and divert talent to competing universities.
