About Aethlon Medical

Aethlon Medical is pioneering the development of viral filtration devices that rapidly reduce the presence of infectious disease and toxins in the body. Aethlon has published compelling human blood studies of the Hemopurifier(TM) to treat HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis-C (HCV), and most recently, has announced that it is developing pathogen filtration devices to treat infectious agents used in biological warfare and terrorism. The Hemopurifier is a proprietary platform technology that converges the established scientific principles of affinity chromatography and hemodialysis as a means to augment the immune response of clearing viruses and toxins from the blood before cell and organ infection can occur. On March 4, 2004, Aethlon announced a cooperative agreement with the National Center for Biodefense (NCBD) at George Mason University. Under the agreement, Aethlon and the NCBD will collaborate to develop pathogen and toxin filtration devices designed to protect the lives of U.S. Military personnel exposed to infectious agents as a result of biological warfare.
