Virus Developments

BMI is developing an AIDS vaccine and applying its Immune Dampening and Refocusing Technology to the outer HIV envelope glycoprotein gp120/gp41, which is the main mediator of viral fusion and entry with host receptors CD4 and chemokine receptors CCR5 and/or CXCR4.

The Latest Technology

Biological Mimetics, Inc. (“BMI”) was formed to commercialize innovative pharmaceutical products that will improve the quality of life and overall state of public health by combating resistant and emerging diseases in human and veterinary medicine. Our mission philosophy is to remain a creative and innovative biotechnology firm dedicated to improving the quality of life and overall state of public health through the application of novel technologies for the development and commercialization of human and veterinary biologics to address a long list of hitherto intractable disease targets involving viruses, bacteria, parasites, and cancer.

Research & Development

dreamstime_1923964Respiratory disease accounts for an estimated 75 to 80% of all acute morbidity in the U.S. population and approximately 80% of these are due to viruses. The major causes of acute respiratory disease include influenza virus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, and respiratory coronavirus. BMI’s vaccine efforts are focused on influenza virus and rhinovirus.
