Corporate Mission

GlobeImmune is a biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery, development and manufacturing of potent, targeted molecular immunotherapies called Tarmogens for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases.

Tarmogens (Targeted Molecular Immunogens) are whole, heat-killed recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast genetically modified to express one or more protein targets that stimulate the immune system against diseased cells. Tarmogens are avidly taken up by the cells that activate the immune system called antigen presenting cells, and stimulate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (a.k.a. ?killer T cells?) against cells expressing the desired target. GlobeImmune?s patented Tarmogen platform has a number of advantages over current approaches because Tarmogens generate a potent T cell response, are not neutralized by the host immune system upon repeated administration, do not require a custom vaccine approach and are simple to manufacture.

The Company's lead product series, GI-4000 for the treatment of cancers of the lung and gastrointestinal tract, is currently starting Phase 2 clinical trials. The Company initiated a Phase 1b trial for its second product, GI-5005, a Tarmogen for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection in July 2005.
