Dr. Peter Grogg, chairman of the company, stated: "Dr. Stauffer knows the vaccine field very well and has proven himself in the company.

About Pevion Biotech Pevion Biotech is a privately owned Swiss biopharmaceutical company focusing on the preclinical and clinical development of vaccines to prevent/treat infectious diseases and cancer. For its vaccine development, the company uses its virosome-based technology which is already validated by two registered and marketed vaccines. The combination of this virosome technology with novel innovative antigens substantially reduces the known risk in biotechnological development and permits the targeting of diseases where so far no appropriate treatment is available. Pevion Biotech targets indications which represent major medical needs, including prophylactic or therapeutic vaccines against breast cancer, candidiasis, RSV and influenza. One virosome-based vaccine candidate is currently in clinical development. For further questions, please contact: Miriam Peters Tel: +41 31 550 44 01 miriam.peters@pevion.com www.pevion.com
