BERKELEY, CA--(Marketwire - August 31, 2010) - Dynavax Technologies Corporation (
According to Dynavax's Chief Scientific Officer, Robert L. Coffman, Ph.D., "HEPLISAV™, our investigational hepatitis B vaccine candidate, has already demonstrated an ability to protect certain patients, for example, the elderly and chronically ill, who are normally less- or non-responsive to conventional vaccines. With this grant, we have the opportunity to study the underlying mechanisms that affect a target population's ability to respond to immunization."
