 PROFILE
VaxGen is developing a preventive vaccine (AIDSVAX) against AIDS for worldwide use. The company began as biotech giant Genentech's in-house AIDS vaccine research operation and was launched as a separate company in 1995. It has Phase III clinical trials underway in North America (co-sponsored by Centers for Disease Control and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases) and Thailand. VaxGen has an alliance with Genentech (which has funded much of the company's research) to manufacture and distribute AIDSVAX. It also has an alliance with Aventis Pasteur to develop an alternate HIV vaccine. Genentech owns about 11% of VaxGen and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen owns 22% through Vulcan Ventures.
