Intercell AG was a biotechnology company based in Vienna which focused on the development of modern prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines against infectious diseases. The company merged with Vivalis to form Valneva SE in 2012.[2] Intercell was formed in 1998 as a spin-off of the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna.[3] It employs 400 people in Austria, Scotland and the United States.

History

[edit]

It was founded in 1998 and focused on the research, development, and commercialization of vaccines and other biological products. Intercell AG's products were used to prevent and treat a variety of infectious diseases, including hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, and pneumonia. In 2012, Intercell AG merged with Vivalis SE, a French biotech company, to form Valneva.[4]

It has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since February 28, 2005. In 2008, Intercell signaled its intent to acquire Maryland-based Iomai, a developer of needle-free vaccination technology.[5][6]

Intercell cooperates with pharmaceutical companies like Novartis, Merck and Sanofi-Aventis on vaccine production.
