| Description | HIV Research |
Based in Morrisville, North Carolina, Trimeris was founded in 1993 by leading researchers in the study of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Their work in the early 1990s led to a breakthrough in the fight against AIDS — an entirely new class of anti-HIV drugs called fusion inhibitors.
