Biological Mimetics, Inc. (“BMI”) was formed to commercialize innovative pharmaceutical products that will improve the quality of life and overall state of public health by combating resistant and emerging diseases in human and veterinary medicine. Our mission philosophy is to remain a creative and innovative biotechnology firm dedicated to improving the quality of life and overall state of public health through the application of novel technologies for the development and commercialization of human and veterinary biologics to address a long list of hitherto intractable disease targets involving viruses, bacteria, parasites, and cancer. As a result of BMI’s elucidation of “Deceptive Imprinting,” a mechanism of antigenic variation used by microbial pathogens and cancer cells to evade the host immune system, BMI developed “Immune Refocusing Technology” to circumvent such evasion mechanisms. Through the application of IRT, BMI strives to: (1) generate vaccines against pathogens for which no effective vaccine exists and (2) improve upon current strain-limited or serotype-limited protection of commercially available human and veterinary vaccines. IRT is able to alter the natural antigenicity and immunogenicity of targeted protein antigens making it a valuable tool to induce and select monoclonal antibodies. IRT can also be utilized to immune dampen therapeutic proteins and biologics to improve biological half-life and safety profiles.
