Description

Aethlon Medical, Inc., a medical device company, focuses on creating devices that address unmet medical needs in cancer, infectious diseases, and other life-threatening conditions in the United States. The company develops Aethlon Hemopurifier, a medical device, which targets the elimination of circulating viruses and tumor-secreted exosomes that promote cancer progression.

The company is also involved in developing exosome-based products to diagnose and monitor neurological disorders and cancer; and a therapeutic device to reduce the incidence of sepsis, a fatal bloodstream infection that often results in the death of combat-injured soldiers. Aethlon Medical, Inc. was founded in 1991 and is based in San Diego, California.
