Company
TaiMed Biologics was formed on September 4, 2007 to realize the vision of creating a world-class, innovation-based biotechnology company that will satisfy the unmet medical needs of patients around the world. The company will capitalize on its tremendous intellectual, extensive expertise, and management resources to develop a strong health-care product pipeline that benefits patients, rewards investors, and propels ourselves to prominence in the biotechnology industry. The company signed an agreement with Genentech for the licensing of Ibalizumab shortly after its formation. This drug candidate, also known as TMB-355, is a proprietary humanized anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
TaiMed Biologics is committed to conducting business with integrity and passion. We remain to be forward-thinking and utilize our resources wisely and efficiently in order to meet our long-term objectives.
