    Jennerex is named in honor of the legendary physician Dr. Edward Jenner. Dr. Jenner’s discovery led to eradication of the worst medical scourge in the history of the world: smallpox, a viral infection. He used a cowpox virus to vaccinate people and protect them against smallpox starting in 1796, and 200 years later smallpox was eradicated. The team of medical pioneers at Jennerex has now created therapeutics, from the same class of viruses discovered by Dr. Jenner, which are designed to eradicate cancer.
