BioMedica’s products use genes as the mediators of a therapeutic effect
and/or immune response. The Company’s gene therapy products deliver therapeutic
molecules in vivo whilst its gene-based immunotherapy products deliver
genes that recruit the patient’s immune system to mediate a therapeutic
effect. The genes are delivered by the Company’s highly engineered viral
systems
In
addition to its technical expertise in gene delivery, Oxford BioMedica
has in-house clinical, regulatory and manufacturing know-how. The development
pipeline includes two novel anti-cancer products in clinical trials; and
two neurotherapy products in advanced preclinical development for Parkinson’s
disease and retinopathy. The Company is underpinned by an extensive preclinical
and research portfolio and about 70 patent families, which represents one
of the broadest patent estates in the field.
The
Company has a staff of ~65 split between its main facilities in Oxford
and its wholly owned subsidiary, BioMedica Inc, in San Diego, California.

BioMedica has corporate collaborations with Wyeth, Intervet, Merck &
