Description:

PaxVax is a vaccine start-up company developing candidate oral vaccines for influenza, and key infectious diseases. It has developed a proprietary oral vaccine technology based on a common virus called adenovirus. The technology removes the delivery hurdles of traditional injectable vaccines, namely the need for cold storage, needles, and administration by medical personnel. PaxVax was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
