About ImevaX:
ImevaX is a biopharmaceutical company founded in 2014 based in Munich,
Germany. The focus is to combat chronic and nosocomial infections by
creating specific vaccines. The company's lead candidate IMX101 is a
vaccine against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which colonizes the
stomach and is the cause of ulcer disease and gastric cancer in humans.
Founder Markus Gerhard and his team discovered that the colonization
ability (and hence, the infectiousness) of H. pylori depends on a secreted
bacterial factor that down-regulates the host immune system. Many other
highly infectious pathogens have evolved similar immune evasion mechanisms,
which are the focus of the ImevaX screening program. For more information
