Vaxcyte Tech Stack

Clinical-stage vaccine developer using cell-free protein synthesis for pneumococcal conjugates

Biotechnology Research San Carlos, California 201–500 employees Founded 2013 Public Company

Vaxcyte engineers polyvalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) using XpressCF®, a cell-free protein synthesis platform licensed from Sutro Biopharma. The company's lead candidate, VAX-31, is a 31-valent PCV in Phase 3 adult and Phase 2 infant trials—designed to cover more disease-causing serotypes than existing vaccines. The tech stack (Veeva QMS/Vault, SAP S/4HANA, HPLC, LC-MS, Azure) and active projects reveal a manufacturing-scale operation wrestling with process robustness, supply-chain security, and GCP compliance—signature challenges of transitioning from clinical to commercial manufacturing.
