ABOUT C-PHARMA INC.
C-Pharma's technology encompasses the use of recombinant DNA technology to manufacture virus like particles (VLPs). These VLPs can be engineered to incorporate various viral and non-viral antigens for use as vaccines against many different types of targets such as Hepatitis C. The recombinant antigens presented in the context of a VLP carrier system are much more immunogenic than the antigen alone, and this carrier is so powerful that the subsequent vaccine may not require the use of immune adjuvants.

The Company is also pursuing a revenue generation strategy by commercializing generic therapeutic drugs for use in the Hepatitis C market.
