History[edit | edit source]
Bionor Pharma was founded in 1993, originally as a research and development company with a focus on biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Over the years, the company has evolved to concentrate on the development of therapeutic vaccines, with a particular emphasis on HIV and other chronic infectious diseases.
Research and Development[edit | edit source]
Bionor Pharma's research is centered around the development of therapeutic vaccines that aim to harness the body's immune system to fight chronic infections. The company's flagship product, Vacc-4x, is a therapeutic vaccine designed to reduce the viral load in patients with HIV.
Vacc-4x[edit | edit source]
Vacc-4x is a peptide-based therapeutic vaccine that targets the HIV virus. The vaccine is designed to stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cells infected with HIV, thereby reducing the viral load in the body.
