About Mymetics

HIV/AIDS Mymetics’ vaccine against HIV/AIDS targets earlier transmission and infection events that take place at the mucosal level during the first minutes or hours following exposure to HIV. Read more

Virosome Virosome provides a vehicle able to deliver the vaccine in the body and to efficiently stimulate the immune system. It can be adapted to many vaccines and is particularly safe and well tolerated by the body. Read more

Malaria Mymetics’s Malaria Vaccine develops antibodies against the Plasmodium falciparum, the most aggressive type of parasite that causes Malaria. Read more

Herpes Simplex Virus Mymetics is developing a preventive HSV-1 and -2 vaccine, consisting of virosomes and adjuvants. Read more

Influenza Using its expertise area, Mymetics has developed an intra-nasal influenza vaccine which can fight the virus at the mucosal level. Read more

RSV Mymetics has developed a vaccine against Respiratory Syncytial Virus which causes respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis. Read more

Mymetics Corporation is a US registered biotechnology company with its main office in Switzerland. Mymetics’ vision is to become the market leader in the development of new generation mucosal and virosomes based vaccines. The Company is focused on developing these innovative preventative vaccines using two key scientific approaches:

(i)    Virosomes  as an effective adjuvant and a vaccine delivery method, and
(ii)    Innovative antigen design by generating mucosal antibodies.

With only 26 diseases addressed by vaccines, it is a well known fact that the world needs many more vaccines. By focusing on the two scientific approaches, Mymetics’ strategy is addressing two critical needs in developing effective vaccines:

(i)    The ability to build a first line of defense against viruses entering the blood stream by focusing on the mucosal layer.
(ii)    The development of a new vaccine delivery platform that does not use live attenuated or killed pathogens, while increasing the immunogenicity and stability of the vaccine.

The Company is led by an international and experienced management team, with lifetime experience in vaccines and business management, which has achieved significant progress in developing and securing the rights and intellectual property to vaccines that use these two approaches. The team is supported by a very strong Scientific Advisory Board, consisting of world leading experts and key opinion leaders.

Recent Scientific Developments

HIV / AIDS The pre-clinical trial results could not have been more convincing: The group that was vaccinated with Mymetics’ preventive HIV vaccine candidate showed 100% protection, while the non-vaccinated control group was fully infected. Read more

Malaria The vaccine, tested in in Tanzania on human by Mymetics and Pevion, has been well tolerated. Interim results show that antibodies against the two malaria parasite forms were present. Read more

Influenza After testing the intranasal influenza vaccine in a Phase I trial on 110 people, the vaccine was found to be safe and well tolerated. Read more

Herpes Simplex Virus Exploratory experiments were performed on mice in which the immunogenicity of HSV-1 virosomes is investigated, following injections through various routes (intra-muscular and intra-nasal). Read more
