About Genticel
Genticel is a French biopharmaceutical company specialized in the development of therapeutic vaccines aimed at eliminating, at an early stage, the human papillomavirus (HPV) responsible for cervical cancer.

Genticel's most advanced candidate therapeutic vaccine, ProCervix, is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial. ProCervix is designed to induce the elimination of cervical cells infected with HPV 16 and/or HPV 18. The company has also established Vaxiclase, a technology platform ideally adapted for use in early-intervention immunotherapies against multiple infectious or cancerous diseases. This platform is being used to develop a second therapeutic vaccine candidate, now in its preclinical stage, targeting six of the most pertinent HPV strains in terms of global epidemiology.

In 2015, Genticel licensed its Vaxiclase technology to Serum Institute of India Ltd. (SIIL), the largest vaccine producer in the world, for use as a component in acellular multivalent combination vaccines including pertussis antigens.

Genticel is based in Paris and Toulouse and was awarded 2014 “Prix Biotech d'Avenir” (Most
Promising Biotech) in the SW France category of the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Benchmark.

Since April 4, 2014, Genticel shares have been listed on the regulated Euronext markets in Paris and Brussels.
