He is an elected fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and is a past Chairman for the Georgia Biomedical Partnership, a trade association, and is recipient of the 2004 Biomedical Industry Growth Award for the State of Georgia. Dr. McNally has a Ph.D. and MSE in Bioengineering from University of Pennsylvania and an electrical engineering degree (B.E.E.) from Villanova University.

"Through my years of association with GeoVax, I have become a strong advocate of the technology developed by Dr. Robinson. During those startup years, Don Hildebrand, provided the leadership necessary to create a strong team dedicated to the development of the vaccine and entry into clinical trials, I welcome this opportunity to join the team to oversee completion of the trials, and if successful, see worldwide distribution of this lifesaving vaccine," stated Dr. McNally.

GeoVax is moving forward toward Phase 2 Human Trials.

GeoVax has completed 2 Phase 1 human trials evaluating its HIV/AIDS vaccines with excellent results and has 3 additional human trials currently underway. Due to promising results from these 5 trials GeoVax is pushing forward with plans for critically important and larger Phase 2 human trials.

GeoVax's HIV/AIDS vaccine is believed to be only the 5th HIV/AIDS vaccine moving toward Phase 2a human trials conducted by the HVTN. It was approximately the 65th vaccine protocol evaluated in earlier stage Phase 1 trials.

"We are very pleased that our HIV/AIDS vaccine continues to demonstrate the promise of not only being safe but potentially effective at eliciting potentially protective immune responses in humans," stated Dr Harriet Robinson, Senior Vice President, Research & Development, for GeoVax.

"GeoVax AIDS vaccines have passed the significant hurdles required to move into Phase 2 trials," stated GeoVax President, Don Hildebrand. Very few HI
