- Target Description: Addimmune is a leader in the pursuit of a gene therapy cure for HIV. 38 million people are living with HIV globally, with 1.2 million in the U.S. Although HIV has suitable treatments, those treatments are expensive, lifelong, and often toxic. Addimmune’s cell therapy is designed to modify a patient’s immune system so that it is capable of fighting HIV like a normal virus. It makes gene modifications to the patients’ immune cells (T cells) that harden those cells against HIV infection and depletion, thus allowing those cells to maintain a normal response to HIV instead of being “killed” by the virus. When HIV T cells survive and do their job, they fight HIV just like the immune system is able to fight a cold or flu. Jeff Galvin, CEO, and the Addimmune team have extensive experience in HIV and drug development. Addimmune’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Marcus Conant, MD has over forty years on the front lines of HIV treatment and research, including at University of California Medical Center in San Francisco, and Chief Science Officer, Dr. Jeffrey Boyle, PhD has over two decades leading the development of FDA-regulated drugs and medical devices. Dr. Drew Palin, MD, Addimmune’s Chief Business Officer is an experienced, serial entrepreneur and physician
