HERMES Biosciences

HERMES Biosciences, Inc. was founded in 1998 to develop highly innovative targeted drug delivery technologies for therapeutic and other biomedical applications. The HERMES vision builds upon previous accomplishments by HERMES scientists and others in the development of both liposomes and antibodies as targeting agents. Liposomes have become an important drug delivery system, with several first- and second-generation products approved for clinical use in oncology and infectious disease. Monoclonal antibodies have similarly become an important form of treatment, including a number of clinically useful antibodies for cancer and other diseases. Previously, HERMES founders were involved in the successful commercial development of both liposome and monoclonal antibody drugs. Now, HERMES scientists are focused on developing the next generation of targeted agents featuring full integration of the complementary technologies of liposomes and monoclonal antibodies. This has resulted in the development of modularly assembled and molecularly targeted carrier systems. These novel agents are capable of delivering an array of small molecule drugs and probes, macromolecular agents, and nucleic acid therapeutics specifically to target cells. This represents a promising new approach for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other important diseases.
