NIH contract for GeneThera

17 June 2007

US biotechnology firm GeneThera says that it received a contract from the Intramural Research Program, National Institute on Aging, and National Institutes of Health to genetically engineer monoclonal antibodies and make them "clinically usable." The antibodies are expected to be used for treatment of hypertension.

Tony Milici, chief executive of GeneThera, stated: "we are very delighted at the opportunity to work with the NIH; the largest research organization in the world. I believe this is a great opportunity for GeneThera."

The work will commence on June 20, and be performed by GeneThera's Colorado facility.
