ABOUT IOMAI CORPORATION
Iomai Corporation discovers and develops vaccines and immune system stimulants, delivered via a
novel, needle-free technology called transcutaneous immunization (TCI). TCI, discovered by
researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, taps into the unique benefits of a major
group of antigen-presenting cells found in the outer layers of the skin (Langerhans cells) to
generate an enhanced immune response. Iomai is leveraging TCI to enhance the efficacy of existing
vaccines, develop new vaccines that are viable only through transcutaneous administration and
expand the global vaccine market. Iomai currently has four product
candidates in development: three targeting influenza and pandemic flu and one to prevent travelers’
diarrhea. For more information on Iomai, please visit www.iomai.com.
