Dynavax Technologies Corporation
 PROFILE
Dynavax Technologies is trying to alter the way the body reacts to disease. The company develops pharmaceuticals by focusing on immunostimulatory sequences (ISS), which are short strands of DNA found to strengthen the immune system. The development-stage firm's lead product candidate is AIC, a potential treatment for ragweed allergies. Dynavax is also working on small molecule therapies that may inhibit the production of chemical signals that cause inflammation associated with Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. The company has licensed its ISS technology to Triangle Pharmaceuticals to develop drugs that fight viral infections; it is also collaborating with Aventis to discover an HIV vaccine.
