Research and Development

A Colombian company: we use our knowledge of the territory to develop technological solutions, focusing on creating vaccines and therapies against emerging, re-emerging, and tropical diseases prevalent in the region:

Human pipeline

Research
Headquarters
  • 820 m²
  • 10 Researchers
  • Modern Technologies: mRNA
    and vectors
  • Knowledge Generation
  • Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)

Thanks to the technology and quality of our laboratory facilities, at VaxThera, we will have the capability to conduct rigorous research studies, design, produce, and validate vaccine candidates, optimize production processes, and generate high-quality vaccines and biologics for use in preclinical studies.

Ongoing Projects

UniVax

We have developed a universal vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 using a viral vector platform. The vaccine has shown, in preclinical stages, to be safe, immunogenic, and effective against various virus variants. This vaccine is currently undergoing evaluation to initiate clinical trials.

Colombian Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation

Vaccines against Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever are being developed through a partnership with the University of Wisconsin and the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, funded by the Colombian Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation. Our goal is to develop and evaluate the vaccines up to the preclinical level, using two technological platforms: viral vector and mRNA.

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)

In partnership with the University of Wisconsin - Madison, we are currently evaluating our universal COVID-19 vaccine (UniVax) to limit virus transmission in multiple animal species and reduce the risk of transmission to humans. Additionally, we are working on developing a formulation that allows the vaccine to be administered orally or intranasally while maintaining its protective properties.

Equipo de Investigación

En VaxThera tenemos un compromiso de transparencia y calidad en nuestras investigaciones, es
por esto, que como compañía y equipo de investigación estamos registrados en SCIENTI, la
plataforma del Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, buscando generar conexiones con
otras empresas del sector así como con instituciones académicas de gran reconocimiento, para
