Michael Johnston is the Chairman of the Board of Visitors for Global Vaccines a not-for-profit company whose mission is to develop vaccines against diseases most prevalent in undeveloped and underdeveloped countries. Global Vaccines is a not-for-profit company that acquires state-of-the-art vaccine technologies and applies them to diseases of poorer countries. We develop platform vaccine technologies that can be applied to a broad spectrum of disease targets of both developed and undeveloped countries. Global will apply these technologies to diseases of undeveloped countries and also may sublicense these technologies to commercial companies for use in the more profitable markets of developed countries. By sublicensing these value added technologies to the commercial pharmaceutical industry, Global Vaccines provides new technologies to the commercial market that are more fully proven and therefore less financially risky.
