BIOMIRA PROGRESS AT BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION
CONFERENCE

Biomira Inc. (BIOM) today presented at the Biotechnology Industry
Organizations' second annual CEO & Investor Conference, highlighting the
Company's clinical and financing developments.

"We now have three major cancer vaccine product candidates plus an immune
enhancer in the clinic and up to $100 million in financing potentially
available to push our products through to commercialization," commented
President and CEO Alex McPherson, MD, Ph.D., who spoke at the conference
today. "Biomira is addressing the largest cancer markets with innovative
product candidates. Theratope vaccine for metastatic breast cancer is now
in a pivotal Phase III trial, and BLP25 for lung cancer is in Phase II
testing. Our patient-specific vaccine for lymphoma, co-developed with
Biovector Therapeutics of Toulouse, France and the National Cancer
Institute (NCI), entered NCI-sponsored Phase I trials in the first half of
last year. We have a talented scientific staff and a strategically minded
and dedicated management team that should be credited with our progress
and success."

COMMENT: We have already expounded on Biomira in this issue. We include
this to allow newer readers to glean a little information on the company,
and to give long-time readers a little insight into what went down at the
Biotechnology Industry Organization Conference.
