                             -----------------------

                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

                                November 5, 1997

GENERAL INFORMATION

      This Proxy  Statement is furnished to the  stockholders  of  Immunomedics,
Inc.,  a  Delaware   corporation  (the   "Company"),   in  connection  with  the
solicitation  of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of
Directors")  for use at the Annual Meeting of  Stockholders of the Company to be
held on November 5, 1997,  and any  adjournment  or  adjournments  thereof  (the
"Annual Meeting").  A copy of the notice of meeting, the Company's Annual Report
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 and form of proxy  accompany  this Proxy
Statement and are first being sent to stockholders on or about October 7, 1997.

      Only  stockholders  of record at the close of  business on  September  29,
1997, the record date for the Annual Meeting,  will be entitled to notice of and
to vote at the  Annual  Meeting.  On the  record  date,  there  were  issued and
outstanding  36,363,002 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common  Stock").  Each share of Common Stock  entitles the holder to
one vote with  respect  to each of the  matters  to be voted  upon at the Annual
Meeting.  The Common Stock is the only class of  outstanding  securities  of the
Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

      Presence  in person or by proxy of the  holders  of  18,181,502  shares of
Common Stock will constitute a quorum at the Annual  Meeting.  Assuming a quorum
is present,  the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of votes
present and  entitled to be cast at the Annual  Meeting is required  for (i) the
election of  Directors,  (ii) the  ratification  of the  selection  of KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP as  independent  auditors  for the current  fiscal  year,  and (iii)
except as otherwise  required by Delaware Law or the  Company's  Certificate  of
Incorporation,  any other matters that  properly  come before the meeting.  If a
stockholder,  present  in  person  or by  proxy,  abstains  on any  matter,  the
stockholder's  shares  will  not be  voted on such  matter.  Abstentions  may be
specified  on all  proposals  submitted  to a  stockholder  vote  other than the
election of  directors.  Abstentions  will be counted as present for purposes of
determining  the  existence  of a quorum  regarding  the  proposal  on which the
abstention is noted.  Thus,  an abstention  from voting on a matter has the same
legal  effect as a vote  "against"  the matter,  even though a  stockholder  may
interpret such action  differently.  A proxy submitted by a stockholder also may
indicate that all or a portion of the shares  represented  by such proxy are not
being voted by such stockholder with respect to a particular matter.  This could
occur, for example, when a broker is not permitted to vote shares held in street
name on certain matters in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner
of the shares.

      If a proxy in the accompanying form is properly executed and returned, the
shares  represented  thereby  will be voted as  instructed  in the proxy.  If no
instructions  are given,  the persons named in the proxy intend to vote in favor
of (i) the  nominees  for  election as Directors as set forth below and (ii) the
ratification  of the selection of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as independent  auditors
for the current fiscal year.



                                       1
<PAGE>



      Brokers  holding shares in street name,  who do not receive  instructions,
are  entitled  to vote on the  election of  Directors  and  ratification  of the
appointment of the independent auditors, since such matters are considered to be
routine.  Since a broker is not required to vote shares held in "street name" in
the absence of  instructions  from the beneficial  stockholder,  a stockholder's
failure to instruct his broker may result in the stockholder's  shares not being
voted.

      Each proxy  granted  may be revoked by the person  granting it at any time
(i) by giving  written  notice to such effect to the  Secretary  of the Company,
(ii) by  execution  and  delivery of a proxy  bearing a later date,  or (iii) by
attendance and voting in person at the Annual  Meeting,  except as to any matter
upon which,  prior to such  revocation,  a vote shall have been cast pursuant to
the authority  conferred by such proxy.  The mere presence at the Annual Meeting
of a person appointing a proxy does not revoke the appointment.


                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

NOMINEES

      The Certificate of  Incorporation  of the Company provides that the number
of  Directors  of the  Company  shall  be fixed by  resolution  of the  Board of
Directors.  Such number  currently has been fixed at six persons.  At the Annual
Meeting,  six persons  will be elected to the Board of  Directors to serve until
the next  annual  meeting  and until  their  successors  have been  elected  and
qualify.  The persons named as proxies in the accompanying  proxy intend to vote
FOR these  nominees of the Board of Directors or, if any of the nominees  should
be unable to serve,  for such  substitute  nominee(s)  as the Board of Directors
then may propose.

      The following  table sets forth  information  about the nominees,  each of
whom is currently serving as a Director of the Company:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

      THE MATERIAL IN THIS REPORT AND IN THE PERFORMANCE GRAPH IS NOT SOLICITING
MATERIAL,  IS NOT DEEMED FILED WITH THE SEC AND IS NOT INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
IN ANY FILING OF THE COMPANY UNDER THE  SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  OR

LANGUAGE IN SUCH FILING.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES

      The Company's  compensation  program is administered  by the  Compensation
Committee  of the  Board of  Directors  (the  "Committee"),  which is  currently
comprised  of two  non-employee  Directors.  All  actions of the  Committee  are
presented to the Board of Directors for ratification.  The Committee reviews and
determines the salaries for corporate officers and key employees and reviews and
determines,  by grade levels,  employees who are eligible to  participate in the
Company's  incentive  compensation plans. The Committee also oversees management
of the 1992 Option  Plan,  including  the  granting  and certain  terms of stock
options,  and all other  compensation and benefit plans. The Committee  oversees
salary  grade  administration  for  the  entire  Company,   which  is  used  for
establishing  merit increases and starting salaries for new employees and is the
basis for  compensation  reviews for all officers of the Company,  including the
Chief Executive Officer.  When deemed  appropriate,  the Committee also consults
with independent outside advisors for guidance on executive compensation issues.

COMPENSATION POLICIES

      The primary  objective of the Company's  compensation  program is to offer
competitive  compensation  packages  to  attract,  retain and  motivate  Company
employees. To achieve this objective, industry and regional compensation surveys
are used to help ensure that the Company's  salary structure is competitive with
other  biopharmaceutical  companies of comparable size and stage of development,
both within and outside of the Company's  geographical  area. These surveys,  in
conjunction with the Company's overall financial condition, are also used in the
process of determining annual merit increases for all employees.

      The Company's  compensation  program currently  consists of an annual base
salary,  in certain select  instances cash bonuses and, for employees at manager
level and above, annual awards of stock options. Initially, when an executive is
hired,  a  compensation  package is developed  based on the  qualifications  and
experience  the  individual  brings to the Company.  In certain  instances,  the
Company  cannot  match the cash  compensation  offered  by large  pharmaceutical
companies and larger  biopharmaceutical  companies and,  therefore,  supplements
salary with sizable grants of stock options. In addition, annual grants of stock
options are awarded based on the individual's and the Company's performance. The
Company believes that this granting of stock options provides an opportunity for
financial  rewards not  offered,  either  generally  or to the same  extent,  in
larger, more mature companies. However, these options will only be of real value
if the Company is  successful  in  achieving  its business  objectives,  thereby
increasing stockholder value. Consequently, the employee's financial rewards are
closely  aligned  with the  Company's  performance  and the  value  created  for
stockholders.

      Each year the  executive  receives an  appraisal  assessing  the extent to
which  pre-established  individual  goals have been  achieved  and the extent to
which the  individual  contributed to the overall  success of the Company.  This
appraisal process is reviewed in light of the Company's success in achieving its
overall business  objectives.  The executive's annual merit adjustment and stock
option award are derived from this appraisal process.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S COMPENSATION

      The  compensation  of the  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer,  David M.
Goldenberg,  is administered pursuant to a five-year employment contract,  which
was  negotiated at arms-length  and entered into between Dr.  Goldenberg and the
Company on November 1, 1993 (see "Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with
Dr.  Goldenberg").  Pursuant to the employment  contract,  Dr.  Goldenberg is to
receive an annual base salary of not less than  $220,000 and may receive  annual
grants of stock options  and/or a cash bonus,  if the  performance of his duties
are to the Board's  satisfaction.  Dr. Goldenberg's annual salary previously was
increased to $250,000, effective July 1, 1996.

      Dr. Goldenberg's performance was reviewed by the Compensation Committee at
its June 25,  1997  meeting.  The  growth  over the past  year of the  Company's
operations,  under Dr.  Goldenberg's  leadership,  was  reviewed  with  specific
reference to the extent to which he  contributed  to the overall  success of the
Company's  achievements of its objectives.  Specific  consideration was given to
the progress made in research and development programs,  clinical and regulatory
activities,   adherence  to  budget,   and  third-party   business   development
opportunities.  In addition,  Dr.  Goldenberg's  total compensation was reviewed
based on the  experience he brings to the Company and the salaries paid to Chief
Executive  Officers of other  biopharmaceutical  companies  of similar  size and
stage of development.  As a result of this review, and in light of the Company's
financial condition,  Dr. Goldenberg was granted an increase in annual salary to
$265,000  and was granted an option to purchase  100,000  shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the 1992 Option Plan.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

      All employees of the Company, members of the Company's Board of Directors,
members of the Company's  Scientific  Advisory Board, if any, and consultants to
the Company are eligible to participate in the 1992 Option Plan. The 1992 Option
Plan is intended to provide  incentive to continue  employment and dedication of
such persons by enabling them to acquire a proprietary  interest in the Company,
and by offering  comparable  incentives to enable the Company to better attract,
compete for and retain highly qualified employees and advisors.  The 1992 Option
Plan is  administered  by the  Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors
(the  "Committee"),  currently  comprised of two  non-employee  Directors of the
Company. The 1992 Option Plan authorizes the issuance, within ten years from the
date of its  adoption,  of options  covering  up to  3,000,000  shares of Common
Stock,  subject to  adjustment  in certain  circumstances.  During  fiscal 1997,
non-qualified  stock  options to  purchase  50,000  shares of Common  Stock were
granted  to the  current  non-employee  Directors  of the  Company at a weighted
average exercise price of $11.25 per share.

      The following  table sets forth certain  information as to options granted
pursuant to the 1992 Option Plan to each of the Named Executive  Officers during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.  All of such options were granted  pursuant
to the 1992 Option Plan by the Compensation  Committee,  are non-qualified stock
options,  have an option price equal to the closing  market price on the date of
grant and vest over a four-year period at the rate of 25% per year.

        Stock  underlying  such options if the options were exercised at the end

RETIREMENT PLAN

      The Company  maintains a retirement  plan  established in conformity  with
Section  401(k) of the Internal  Revenue Code.  All employees of the Company are
eligible to participate  in the  retirement  plan and may (but are not obligated
to) contribute a percentage of their salary to the retirement  plan,  subject to
certain  limitations.  Each year,  the Company may  contribute to the retirement
plan a percentage of each employee's  contribution to the retirement plan, which
does not  exceed  5% of the  employee's  salary.  The  Company  may also make an
additional  contribution to the retirement  plan.  Employee  contributions  vest
immediately.  Company  contributions  vest 20% after two years  from the date of
participation  and,  thereafter,  at the rate of 20% per year for the  following
four  years.  A  participant  also  becomes  fully  (100%)  vested  upon  death,
retirement at age 65 or becomes  disabled  while an employee.  Benefits are paid
following termination of employment or upon showing of financial hardship. It is
not possible to estimate the benefits  that any  participant  may be entitled to
under the  retirement  plan since the amount of such  benefits will be dependent
upon, among other things, future contributions by the Company, future net income
earned  by  the  contributions   and  forfeitures  on  future   terminations  of
employment.  In each  of the  last  three  fiscal  years,  the  Company  has not
contributed to the retirement  plan in excess of $1,875 per year for any officer
of the Company.

AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

      The Company has not entered into any compensatory  arrangement pursuant to
which any  Executive  Officer of the  Company  will  receive  payments  from the
Company  as a result  of the  Executive  Officer's  resignation,  retirement  or
termination  of employment or as a result of a change in control of the Company,
except as set forth below.

  AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH DR. GOLDENBERG

      On  November  1, 1993,  the  Company  and Dr.  Goldenberg  entered  into a
five-year  employment  agreement (the "Agreement"),  with an additional one-year
assured renewal and thereafter  automatically  renewable for additional one-year
periods  unless  terminated  by either party as provided in the  Agreement.  Dr.
Goldenberg will continue to serve as the Company's  Chairman and will receive an
annual base salary of not less than $220,000, subject to increases as determined
by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors  increased  Dr.  Goldenberg's
annual  base  salary to  $250,000,  effective  July 1,  1996,  and to  $265,000,
effective July 1, 1997.

      Pursuant to the  Agreement,  Dr.  Goldenberg is required to devote as much
time as is  reasonably  necessary  to fulfill  the duties  contemplated  by that
Agreement.  Additionally,  the Agreement provides that Dr. Goldenberg may engage
in other business,  general investment and scientific  activities  provided such
activities  do not  materially  interfere  with  the  performance  of any of his
obligations  under the Agreement,  allowing for those he presently  performs for
CMMI, as further  discussed below. The Agreement extends the ownership rights of
the Company to, with an obligation to diligently pursue, all ideas, discoveries,
developments and products in the entire medical field, which, at any time during
his past or  continuing  employment  by the  Company  (but  not when  performing
services for CMMI),  Dr.  Goldenberg has made or conceived or hereafter makes or
conceives, or the making or conception of which he has materially contributed to
or  hereafter  contributes  to, all as defined  in the  Agreement  (collectively
"Goldenberg Discoveries").



                                       13
<PAGE>


      Further,  pursuant to the Agreement, Dr. Goldenberg will receive incentive
compensation of 0.5% on the first  $75,000,000 of all defined Annual Net Revenue
of the  Company  and 0.25% on all such  Annual  Net  Revenue  in excess  thereof
(collectively "Revenue Incentive Compensation"). Annual Net Revenue includes the
proceeds of certain  dispositions  of assets or  interests  therein  (other than
defined Undeveloped  Assets),  including defined Royalties,  certain equivalents
thereof  and, to the extent  approved by the Board,  non-royalty  license  fees.
Revenue  Incentive  Compensation  will be paid with respect to the period of Dr.
Goldenberg's  employment,  and two  years  thereafter,  unless  he  unilaterally
terminates his  employment  without cause or he is terminated by the Company for
cause.  With  respect to the period that Dr.  Goldenberg  is entitled to receive
Revenue Incentive  Compensation on any given products, it will be in lieu of any
other percentage  compensation based on sales or revenue due him with respect to
such products under this Agreement or the existing License Agreement between the
Company and Dr. Goldenberg  (described below).  With respect to any periods that
Dr.  Goldenberg is not receiving  such Revenue  Incentive  Compensation  for any
products covered by patented Goldenberg  Discoveries or by certain defined Prior
Inventions  of Dr.  Goldenberg,  he will receive 0.5% on  cumulative  annual net
sales of,  and  royalties,  certain  equivalents  thereof,  and,  to the  extent
approved by the Board,  other  consideration  received  by, the Company for such
products,  (collectively,  "Annual Net  Revenues"),  up to a  cumulative  annual
aggregate  of  $75,000,000  and 0.25% on any  cumulative  Annual Net  Revenue in
excess of $75,000,000  (collectively  "Incentive  Payments").  A $100,000 annual
minimum  payment  will be paid in the  aggregate  against all Revenue  Incentive
Compensation and Incentive Payments and any payments under the License Agreement
(discussed below).

      Dr.  Goldenberg  will also  receive a  percent,  not less than 20%,  to be
determined by the Board, of net consideration (including license fees) which the
Company receives for any disposition, by sale, license or otherwise (discussions
directed to which commence  during the term of his employment plus two years) of
any defined  Undeveloped Assets of the Company which are not budgeted as part of
the Company's strategic plan.

      Under the  Agreement,  Dr.  Goldenberg  is not  entitled to any  incentive
compensation with respect to any products,  technologies or businesses  acquired
from third parties for a total consideration in excess of $5,000,000, unless the
Company had made a material contribution to the invention or development of such
products, technologies or businesses prior to the time of acquisition. Except as
affected by a defined  Change in Control or  otherwise  approved by the Board of
Directors,   Dr.  Goldenberg  would  also  not  be  entitled  to  any  incentive
compensation based on defined Annual Net Revenue of the Company or any Incentive
Payments with respect to any time during his term of employment (plus two years,
unless employment is terminated by mutual agreement or by Dr. Goldenberg's death
or permanent disability) that he is not the direct or beneficial owner of shares
of the Company's  voting stock with an aggregate market value of at least twenty
times his defined annual cash compensation.

  LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH DR. GOLDENBERG

      Pursuant to a License  Agreement  between the Company and Dr.  Goldenberg,
Dr. Goldenberg  licensed to the Company certain patent applications owned by him
at the time of the  Company's  formation in exchange for a royalty in the amount
of 0.5% of the first  $20,000,000 of annual net sales of all products covered by
any of such patents and 0.25% of annual net sales of such  products in excess of
$20,000,000.  As discussed above, the Agreement with Dr. Goldenberg  extends the
ownership rights of the Company to the Goldenberg Discoveries.

  LIFE INSURANCE FOR DR. GOLDENBERG

      The Company has also agreed with Dr.  Goldenberg to maintain in effect for
his benefit a $2,000,000 whole life insurance policy. If Dr. Goldenberg  retires
from  the  Company  on or  after  his  agreed  retirement  (age  62),  or if his
employment ends because of permanent  disability,  the Company must pay all then
outstanding loans, if any, made under such policy, and assign such policy to Dr.
Goldenberg  in  consideration  of  the  services   previously  rendered  by  Dr.
Goldenberg  to the Company.  If the  employment of Dr.  Goldenberg  ends for any
other reason,  except for cause, Dr.  Goldenberg has the option to purchase such
policy for a price mutually  agreed upon by him and the Board of Directors,  but
not to exceed the cash value thereof less any  outstanding  policy loans,  or he
may purchase  such policy at its full cash value,  less any  outstanding  loans,
with the  purchase  price to the paid out of the  proceeds  of the policy or any
earlier  payment or withdrawal of all or any portion of its net cash value.  The
Company also  currently  maintains  $4,000,000 of key man life  insurance on Dr.
Goldenberg for the benefit of the Company.

      A trust created by Dr.  Goldenberg has purchased a $10,000,000  whole life
policy on his life.  The policy  provides  funds which may be used to assist Dr.
Goldenberg's  estate in settling  estate tax  obligations  and thus  potentially
reducing  the number of shares of the Common Stock the estate may be required to
sell over a short period of time to raise funds to satisfy such tax obligations.
This  policy  was  purchased  in  September   1994  to  replace  three  policies
aggregating  $20,000,000  which had been in effect since  November 1991 covering
the  second-to-die  of Dr.  Goldenberg and his then wife.  Upon  cancellation of
these three  policies,  the cash surrender  value of the policies was reinvested
into the new  policy.  During  what is  estimated  to be a 15-year  period,  the
Company is obligated to pay $143,000 per year towards  premiums,  compared to an
equivalent  $250,000  commitment  under the  previous  policies,  in addition to
amounts  required to be paid by Dr.  Goldenberg.  The Company has an interest in
this new policy up to the cumulative amount of premium payments made by it under
the old and new  policies,  which,  through  September  29,  1997,  amounted  to
$1,124,000.  If Dr. Goldenberg's  employment  terminates,  and the policy is not
maintained,  the Company would receive  payment of only its invested  cumulative
premiums, up to the amount of cash surrender value in the policy.

THE CENTER FOR MOLECULAR MEDICINE AND IMMUNOLOGY

      The  Center  for  Molecular   Medicine  and   Immunology   ("CMMI")  is  a
not-for-profit  corporation,  currently located in Belleville,  New Jersey. CMMI
was  established in 1983 by Dr.  Goldenberg  and is devoted  primarily to cancer
research.  Dr.  Goldenberg was the original  founder of, and currently serves as
President and a member of the Board of Trustees of CMMI. Dr.  Goldenberg  spends
substantially  more of his working time for CMMI than for the  Company.  Certain
consultants to the Company have employment relationships with CMMI and Drs. Carl
Pinsky and Hans Hansen,  officers of the Company,  are Adjunct  Members at CMMI.
Despite  these  relationships,  CMMI  is  independent  of the  Company  and  its
management  and  fiscal  operations  are  the  responsibility  of its  Board  of
Trustees.

      The Company's product development has involved,  to varying degrees,  CMMI
for the  performance  of certain basic  research and patient  evaluations.  CMMI
performs  pilot and  pre-clinical  trials in product  areas of importance to the
Company. In addition,  CMMI conducts basic research and patient evaluations in a
number of areas of  potential  interest  to the Company the results of which are
made available to the Company  pursuant to a collaborative  research and license
agreement  (the  "Research  Agreement"),  dated as of January 21, 1997.  If such
research  results in the development of a potential  product,  the Company has a
right of first  negotiation to obtain a worldwide  exclusive  license to produce
and  market  the  product  (including  the right to grant  sublicenses),  unless
developed by CMMI under a research and development  contract with a third party.
In consideration  for such rights,  the Company has agreed to pay CMMI an annual
license fee of $200,000.  If the Company  exercises this right with respect to a
product,  it must pay to CMMI a royalty,  to be  negotiated in good faith at the
time the license is obtained. To date, no products have been licensed from CMMI.


                                       15
<PAGE>


      The  potential  for  conflict of interest  exists in  connection  with the
relationship  between the Company and CMMI,  and the provisions of the agreement
between the Company and CMMI have been  designed to prevent  such  conflicts  of
interest.  The Company and CMMI have  agreed that  neither  will have any right,
title or interest in or to the research  grants,  contracts or other  agreements
obtained by the other party. The decision as to whether a potential  product has
reached  the stage of  development  such that it must be  offered by CMMI to the
Company is made by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees of CMMI, and
Dr.  Goldenberg has agreed not to participate in the  determination  of any such
issue. In addition, the decision by the Company as to whether or not to exercise
its right of first  negotiation or release any potential product offered by CMMI
is determined by the majority vote of the Board of Directors (or a  subcommittee
thereof),  and, again, Dr.  Goldenberg has also agreed not to participate in the
determination of any such issue.

      The Company also has made grants,  totalling  $400,000 since July 1, 1996,
to CMMI in support of the research and  clinical  work being  performed at CMMI,
such  grants  to be  expended  in a manner  deemed  appropriate  by the Board of
Trustees of CMMI. The Company also supplies CMMI with  laboratory  materials and
supplies at cost or, if  provided  in  connection  with  collaborative  research
efforts,  at no charge to CMMI and has  donated  to CMMI  surplus  equipment  no
longer used by the Company.


                        SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

      The  Board  of  Directors  has  selected  KPMG  Peat  Marwick  LLP  as the
independent  auditors  to audit the books and  accounts  of the  Company for the
current  fiscal  year.  KPMG Peat  Marwick  LLP has  served as such  independent
auditors  since  fiscal  year  1992.  One or more  representatives  of KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP will be present at the Annual  Meeting,  will have an opportunity to
make a  statement  if they  desire  to do so and  will  respond  to  appropriate
questions.

      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL
OF THE SELECTION OF KPMG PEAT MARWICK LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.


                 STOCKHOLDERS PROPOSALS FOR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

office of the Company (to the attention of the  Secretary) on or before June 12,
1998 for such proposal to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for
such meeting.  Such proposals must also meet the other requirements of the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to stockholder proposals.

      The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended
by  stockholders  of the Company  for  election as a Director at the 1998 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, provided that any such recommendation is
submitted  in  writing,  not less  than 60 nor more  than  120 days  before  the
anniversary date of the 1997 Annual Meeting of  Stockholders,  to the Committee,
c/o the Secretary of the Company,  at the Company's principal executive offices,
accompanied by a description of the proposed nominee's  qualifications and other
relevant  biographical  information  and an  indication  of the  consent  of the
proposed  nominee to serve.  In  recommending  candidates,  the  Governance  and
Nominating Committee seeks individuals who possess broad training and experience
in business, finance, law, government,  medicine, immunology, molecular biology,
management or administration and considers factors such as personal  attributes,
geographic  location and special  expertise  complementary to the background and
experience of the Board as a whole.
