About Imugene
Imugene specialises in commercialising animal health products for production animals including pigs and poultry.
Imugene owns the worldwide rights to the Fowl Adenoviral Vector Delivery System for poultry and the Porcine Adenoviral Vector Delivery System for pigs. Imugene has successfully licensed the first product based on the Fowl Adenoviral Vector Delivery System – the Poultry Productivity Enhancer.
Imugene's poultry and pig portfolio is targeting a worldwide US$3 billion annual market with four lead vaccine products under development and a strong product pipeline. Consumer demands for disease free and residue free food will bolster Imugene's prospects.
Imugene's products safely prevent disease and reduce or eliminate antibiotics and harmful chemicals in animals. Animal antibiotics and chemicals in the human food chain have been linked to the emergence of dangerous resistant bacteria in people and food residues.
