SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 2007 - Inovio Biomedical Corporation (AMEX:INO), focused on the development of DNA-based vaccines for cancers and infectious diseases and a novel alternative to surgery to treat localized cancers, announced today that partners of the company will present new interim data from two phase I clinical trials of plasmid-based immunotherapies using Inovio's electroporation delivery technology at the Third International Conference on DNA Vaccines in Malaga, Spain, being held May 23-25, 2007 at the Torrequebrada Hotel. Dr. Christian Ottensmeier of the University of Southampton will present data relating to a prostate cancer vaccine. Dr. Richard Heller of the University of South Florida and Moffitt Cancer Center will present data on a melanoma immunotherapy study. These clinical studies are assessing safety, tolerability and immune responses of these products in conjunction with Inovio's electroporation-based DNA delivery technologies, which are designed to enhance the potency of immunotherapies including DNA vaccines.

In addition, Dr. Iacob Mathiesen of Inovio will present a general overview of electroporation delivery of immunotherapy products currently in clinical trials; Dr. Alain Rolland of Vical, Inc. will present preclinical data of a DNA vaccine for human cytomegalovirus (CMV) delivered with Inovio technology; Dr. Connie Schmaljohn of USAMRIID at Fort Detrick, MD, will present preclinical data from electroporated DNA vaccines for key biodefense targets; and Dr. Michael Eagan of Wyeth Research will present non-human primate data of an HIV vaccine currently in development with Inovio.

"Inovio has been fortunate to have collaborations with, in our opinion, some of the best scientists in the world to work with us on the development of multiple immunotherapy products delivered using our proprietary electroporation technology," stated Avtar Dhillon, MD, Inovio's CEO. "We look
