 PROFILE
Dendreon isn't really branching out that much; the company is sticking to what it knows -- cancer research based on its cell separation technologies. The company is developing therapeutic vaccines that goose the body's immune system to help it fight cancer. Its lead product candidate is Provenge, a prostate cancer vaccine. Dendreon is also developing vaccines to treat breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, and uterine cancers, among others. The company has alliances with Japan's Kirin Brewery and a unit of Johnson & Johnson. Healthcare Ventures and Paul Allen's Vulcan Northwest each own about 15% of Dendreon. CEO Chris Henney, who also co-founded Immunex and Icos, founded Dendreon in 1992 as Activated Cell Therapy.
