Inovio Biomedical Corporation was founded in 1983 and is based in San Diego, California. Inovio Biomedical Corporation engages in the design, development, and delivery of a new generation of vaccines, called DNA vaccines, focused on cancers and infectious diseases. The company's SynCon technology enables the design of DNA-based vaccines capable of providing cross-protection against evolving, unmatched strains of pathogens, such as influenza. Inovio's proprietary electroporation DNA delivery technology uses brief, controlled electrical pulses to increase cellular DNA vaccine uptake. The company also has access to formulation and manufacturing expertise, and technology through its controlling ownership in VGX International. Inovio's clinical programs include trials for HPV/cervical cancer (therapeutic) and HIV vaccines; and an IND has been filed for an avian influenza vaccine.
