Protein Sciences is participating in a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases grant program to develop and produce antigens for the HIV/AIDS vaccines. Participation in the program gives the company a vote of confidence for its technology, according to Manny Ratafia, president of Technology Management Group in New Haven, which studies the pharmaceuticals market. Protein Sciences has been asked by the NIAID to create a synthetic protein developed by Epimmune, a biotechnology company in San Diego. Manon Cox, vice president of corporate and process development at Protein Sciences, has said than many companies decline to develop AIDS vaccines for economic reasons. The NIAID grant program will enable companies by providing government funding. In the past the company has attempted to develop AIDS vaccines on its own. Protein Sciences was formerly know as MicroGeneSys and founded in 1983. It uses its proprietary baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) technology to develop commercial human and veterinary vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics. It uses a system it calls GeneXpress to enable customers to access its proprietary BEVS technology. On its web site at http://www.proteinsciences.com, the company say this system is "the quickest and most cost-effective link between gene discovery and clinical materials".
