Epeius TDS targeting technologies enable the development of targeted nanoparticles for gene delivery to cancerous tumors and metastatic sites, as well as the isolation of a unique class of stem cells for tissue engineering and cell-based gene therapy for numerous clinical applications.
Epeius was the son of Endymion, and the brother of Aetolus and Paeon.
Epeius was the father of a daughter, named Hyrmina, who married Phorbas, a Lapith chieftain who migrated to the city of Olenia, in Elis.

Amazingly, Epeius Biotechnology's TDS (targeted deliver system), the elixir of cancer therapy, the "holy grail" of genetic medicine, was elucidated in the understanding of something as inert as straw (collagen) and as exciting as a scab.
Remarkably, the namesake of Epeius Biotechnologies is a similarly shrewd architect/engineer.
As Epeius and its dedicated scientists continually drive the vector to its very limits, the clout and potential of the treatment see no meager end: the goal is none other than the complete and utter eradication of Cancer itself.

Epeius Biotechnologies Corporation has developed a targeted gene delivery system that can be injected directly into a vein.
While Epeius is developing therapies initially for metastatic colorectal cancer and other malignant solid tumors, this platform technology has extensive clinical applications, including inflammatory, cardiovascular, and ocular diseases.
This technology, commended by the NIH's Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee as the first effectively targeted gene therapy, is based upon a proprietary collagen-binding peptide that causes the vector to concentrate in the vicinity of abnormally proliferating cells.

When the horse was ready, the Achaeans let the best among them hide inside it, burned their tents, and leaving only Sinon behind, sailed away either to Tenedos or to cape Sigeum where they were to wait for a signal from the same Sinon.
Epeius 2 is the architect who constructed the WOODEN HORSE, with the help of which the Achaeans could take Troy; he was himself among those warriors who hid inside it.
Epeius 2 was son of Panopeus 1, son of Phocus 3, son of Aeacus [Apd.Ep.4.7, 5.14; Eur.Tro.10; Pau.2.29.4; Pla.Rep.620c; QS.12.81, 12.138ff., 12.314ff.; Try.57; Vir.Aen.2.264].

Armed with an extensive understanding of the molecular-genetic basis of disease and encouraged by the accomplishments of the human genome project, the most important of the unresolved medical problems remaining for successful genetic medicine is that of inefficient gene delivery.
The founders of Epeius have developed a platform targeted delivery system (TDS) that solves the problem of ineffective gene delivery and ushers modern medicine across that threshold.
Rapid, strategic, and individualized vaccination of each patient against his or her specific cancer is the aim of the second series of Epeius TDS targeted therapeutics, which will combine (1) the targeted vector bearing a killer gene, Rexin-G, with (2) a targeted vector bearing immune response genes (e.g.

Godlike Epeius then uplifted hands To Pallas, and for that huge Horse he prayed: 160 "Hear, great-souled Goddess: bless thine Horse and me!" He spake: Athena rich in counsel heard, And made his work a marvel to all men Which saw, or heard its fame in days to be.
But while the Danaans o'er Epeius' work Joyed, and their routed foes within the walls Tarried, and shrank from death and pitiless doom, Then, when imperious Zeus far from the Gods Had gone to Ocean's streams and Tethys' caves, Strife rose between the Immortals: heart with heart 170 Was set at variance.
Godlike Epeius last of all passed in, The fashioner of the Horse; in his breast lay The secret of the opening of its doors And of their closing: therefore last of all He entered, and he drew the ladders up Whereby they clomb: then made he all secure, And set himself beside the bolt.

To avenge him, his mother Psamathe sent a monstruous wolf in the region of Thessalia where Peleus had seeked refuge, which started destroying Peleus' herds, until his wife Thetis, another Nereid, and thus one of Psamethe's sisters, convinced her to turn the monster into stone.
Epeius took part in the Troyan War and is the one who built the wooden horse that helped the Greeks take the city.

 The Last Days of Troy, Greek Mythology Link.
Meanwhile, the peace treaty was ratified at Troy, where the Achaean ambassadors (Diomedes 2, Odysseus, Idomeneus 1, Ajax 1, Nestor, Meriones, Thoas 2, Philoctetes, Neoptolemus, and Eumelus 1) were received with hope both by the people, who thought that their presence meant the end of their afflictions, and by the council.
When Epeius 2, following the instructions of Helenus 1, had completed the building of the WOODEN HORSE, which, standing on wheels, towered to an immense height, the Achaeans drew it from the camp to the walls, telling the Trojans to receive it with devotion as a sacred offering to Athena.
But, as planned, the fateful device was too large to pass through the city gates; and as predicted, the Trojans started to tear down the walls, helping each other with the greatest enthusiasm in their stupid purpose, which, for being shared and common, did not look stupid at all.
